Chewy Coconut White Chocolate Chip Cookies

April 2, 2015 by kim Leave a Comment

My DH has a problem… an Amiibo addiction. Do you know what those things are?  They’re little figurines that Nintendo created for the Wii. Problem is, my DH just collects them. He doesn’t care much for actually playing with them.

I guess there could be worse things that he’s into, but man, Nintendo created some monsters! They’re so good at it, too. I don’t get the appeal over these things.

What I do get, however, is chewy cookies! White chocolate and coconut go so well together.

These cookies are about as soft as it gets. Just look at the inside!:

Recipe slightly adapted from Tracey’s Culinary Adventures (the only thing I did differently was omit the coconut extract since I didn’t have any on hand and increase the amount of white chocolate chips).

Pillsbury Brownie Crackle

March 24, 2015 by kim 6 Comments

Have you ever had brownie brittle? I bought a pack from Costco once and finished the whole bag in two days. Let me tell you, it’s addicting! It’s basically a crunchy chip (think the same toughness as a pita chip) with the taste and richness of normal brownies. If you like eating brownie edges, then this recipe is for you.

IMG_5418

I was curious about making brownie brittle at home. I mean, how hard can it be? Turns out it’s a cinch with a box of Pillsbury‘s Family Size Chocolate Fudge Brownie Mix.

IMG_5398

Pillsbury has a ton of other products to bake with, in case brownies aren’t your cup of tea.

All you have to do is mix together the 4 ingredients in a large bowl until combined.

IMG_5348

Lay it out on a parchment lined baking sheet.

IMG_5351

Spread the batter.

IMG_5358

Keep spreading. The thinner, the crunchier they’ll be!

IMG_5363

Bake.

IMG_5378

Take it out, cut it up, and return it to the oven to bake again.

Then serve the pieces after they’re completely cooled and hardened. I find that by cutting it and baking it again, it’s easier for the pieces to harden. After all, you’re creating tons of edges to crisp up!

IMG_5394

These take time… you want the pieces to dry out completely after baking. Even after all of the time spent in the oven, the middle pieces were less crunchy than the outer pieces. I prefer to eat the middle section while my DH happily eats the corners. Aren’t we the perfect match? Hah.

IMG_5432

The key to making them crispy is leaving them in the oven to cool down. I know it really tests your patience with the brownie aroma filling your house, but trust me, it’s worth it! I added mini chocolate chips, but you can omit those if you want plain brownie brittle. You can also add sprinkles on top if you want something a little more festive.

Pillsbury Brownie Crackle

Ingredients

  • 1 box Pillsbury Chocolate Fudge Brownie Mix (18.4 oz)
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/4 cup oil (I used olive oil, but you could also use vegetable oil)
  • 1 egg white
  • heaping 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix together all of your ingredients in a large bowl until just combined.
  3. Use a small spatula to spread the batter on the parchment paper until thin.
  4. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove and cut, then return to oven for another 10 minutes. Once done, turn off the oven and leave your cookie sheet in there to cool down. That should take about two hours.

Pecan Balls

I have so many posts that I need to work on. My photo library is getting a little excessive and I need to upload them to my blog to match their recipes, stat. I have countless cookie recipes that are just waiting to be published!

almondcookies-2

Anyway, our apartment browsing this past weekend wasn’t very successful. We saw two places that we loved, but one was just a smidgen out of our budget and the other got swiped up by someone else.

Maybe we’re being too picky. I just want a a kitchen with plenty of light to bake in!

almondcookies-6

It’s a mad, mad world out there. Seriously. If you don’t turn in your application within two seconds of seeing the place, then your chances of actually getting it disappear completely.

almondcookies-5

I guess it wasn’t meant to be. Oh well, we’ll continue the hunt until something comes along.

Meanwhile, I’ll continue popping cookies out of my little kitchen and faithful oven.

almondcookies-4

These pecan snowballs are one of my favorite cookies. They’re not very sweet and have a soft, but crunchy (is that even possible?) texture. They crumble and melt in your mouth.

almondcookies-3

I rolled my cookies in powdered sugar twice because the first layer melted and disappeared. I also like my cookies on the sweeter side.
