S'mores Cookie Bars

S'mores Cookie Bars , By www.uniquegiftstips.com .

S'mores Cookie Bars: Soft, chewy, and slightly crunchy graham cracker cookie bars with a marshmallow swirl and semi-sweet chocolate chips. ~ Something Swanky

Total Time: 50 Minutes,Servings: 24 Servings

Ingredients :

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
• 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar packed
• 2 large eggs lightly beaten
• 2 cups mini marshmallows heaping
• 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks a bit more if using chocolate chips

Instructions :

• Preheat oven to 350 F. and grease and line a 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring that the paper along the long sides extends above the pan a bit, to act as handles to remove from the pan later. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
• In a large bowl with an electric mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat together the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl. Add eggs and beat until well combined. Reduce mixer to low and slowly beat in the flour mixture until combined.
• Remove and set aside about 1/4 of the dough. Press the remaining dough into the prepared pan to form a thin, even layer on the bottom of the pan. Top with chocolate chunks, then marshmallows. Scatter the reserved dough over-top in clumps. It won't/shouldn't cover the entire top, as you want the chocolate and marshmallows to show through the top.
• Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 30-35 minutes. Set pan on a wire rack to cool completely, then lift out of pan by grabbing the parchment paper. Remove to a cutting board. Trim the outside edges, if desired, then cut into squares.

Best Snickerdoodles Recipe

Best Snickerdoodles Recipe , By www.uniquegiftstips.com .

This really is the best Snickerdoodles recipe I have ever tried. They always turn out thick, chewy, and soft. No other recipe compares! #cookie #cinnamon #sugar #dessert #easy #desserts #cookies #cookieexchange #baking

Total Time: 30 Minutes,Servings: 24 Servings

Ingredients :

SNICKERDOODLE COOKIES:
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
• 1 1/4 cups white granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 2 3/4 cup flour, (all purpose or plain)
• 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
CINNAMON SUGAR:
• 5 tablespoons white granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Instructions :

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
• In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar(s) until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes), scraping the sides of the bowl. Beat in eggs and vanilla for a further 2 minutes until well incorporated.
• Fold in flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt until just combined.
• In a separate small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon.
• Cover dough and refrigerate for about 30 minutes (if time allows).
• Roll cookie dough into balls (about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough per cookie). Roll in the cinnamon/sugar mixture and evenly coat.
• Arrange cookies at least 3-inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle with a little extra cinnamon/sugar to ensure cookies are completely covered.
• For thick cookies: spoon dough onto your baking sheets straight from the spoon (use a cookie dough scoop). Don't roll them into perfect round balls. You'll want higher rather than wider cookie dough balls so that they bake thick.
• For thin cookies: Make a small indent in the centre of each cookie ball by lightly pressing down before baking to flatten them out a little.
• Bake for 10-11 minutes or until edges are golden.
• Let cool for about 10-15 minutes on baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chocolate Chip Cookie Stuffed Soft Pretzels | halfbakedharvest.com #pretzels #cookies #chocolatechipcookies #dessert #superbowl

Total Time: 55 Minutes,Servings: 8 Servings

Ingredients :

PRETZEL DOUGH
• 1 1/2 cups warm water
• 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
• 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast (1 packet)
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter melted
• 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 4 1/2 cups to 5 all-purpose flour
• 1 egg, beaten
• coarse sea salt, for sprinkling
CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
• 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, at room temperature
• 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 eggs
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions :

• 1. Combine the water, honey, and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer and mix with the dough hook until combined. Let sit for 5 minutes.
• 2. Add the melted butter, salt, and flour to the mixture and mix on low-speed until combined. Increase the speed to medium and continue kneading until the dough is smooth and begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl, about 3 to 4 minutes. If the dough appears too wet, add additional flour, 1 tablespoon at a time. Remove the dough from the bowl, place on a flat surface and knead into a ball with your hands. Coat a large bowl with oil, add the dough and turn to coat with the oil. Cover with a clean towel or plastic wrap and place in a warm spot until the dough doubles in size. This will take about 1 hour.
• 3. Meanwhile, make the cookie dough. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, brown sugar and sugar until combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until combined and creamy. Beat in the vanilla. Add the flour, and baking soda, beat until combined. Stir in the the chocolate chips.
• 4. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Fill a large bowl with warm water.
• 5. Divide the pretzel dough into 8 equal balls and roll each out into a rectangle (about 11x3 inches). Spread about 1 1/2-2 tablespoons cookie dough along the length of each piece. Starting with the opposite side, roll the dough up into a log, enclosing the toppings inside. Pinch the seams together. Very gently roll the dough with your hands to form an even cylinder and fully enclose the filling (see above photos).
• 6. To shape into pretzels, take the right side and cross over to the left. Cross right to left again and flip up. Add 2 tablespoons baking soda to the bowl of warm water. Submerge the pretzels in the water, 2 at a time for 30 seconds. Remove and transfer to a parchment paper lined baking sheet, placing 4 pretzels on each baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg wash and season liberally with salt. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until pretzels are golden brown.
• 7. Remove pretzels from oven and let cool 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy! If needed, the pretzels can be reheated in a 350 degrees F. for 5 minutes.
