Chewy Butterscotch Peanut Butter Cookie Bars



Ingredients

  1. 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened (I use salted)
  2. 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
  3. 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  4. 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  5. 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  6. 3 large eggs
  7. 2 cups quick oats
  8. 2 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
  9. 1 teaspoon baking soda
  10. 1 cup mini chocolate chips
  11. 1 bag (12 oz) butterscotch chips


Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a cookie sheet (about 12" x 18") and spray with cooking spray. 
  2. In a large bowl with a hand mixer, or in the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, combine the butter, peanut butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Beat together for 1-2 minutes until it's pale in color and fluffy looking. 
  3. Add in the vanilla extract and eggs. Beat together until combined. 
  4. Add the quick oats, old-fashioned oats, and baking soda. Mix on low speed until combined. Add chocolate chips and butterscotch chips (reserve some for top of bars if wanted) and mix together just until combined. 
  5. Dump the cookie dough onto the prepared cookie sheet and spread out evenly. It will be sticky so use the back of a silver table spoon, or the butter wrapper, or spray your hands lightly with cooking spray. 
  6. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chips and butterscotch chips on top and gently press them into the bars. 
  7. Cook for 17-20 minutes. I have never cooked these bars for longer than 17 minutes. Because of the no flour, they will appear underdone and slightly gooey but that's normal. Take them out of the oven and place the cookie sheet on a cooling rack. Let the bars cool for 30-45 minutes. They will come together and finish cooking slightly while cooling. 
  8. Use a pizza wheel cutter to cut these bars easily. Leftovers can be stored at room temperature covered. Or, place the bars in sandwich size Ziploc bags and store in the freezer. Eat cold, let sit at room temperature, or microwave for 10 seconds or so.

OMG S'mores Bars



Ingredients

  1. 16 Tablespoons or 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  2. 1/2 cup brown sugar
  3. 1 cup sugar
  4. 2 large eggs
  5. 2 teaspoons vanilla
  6. 2 2/3 cups all purpose flour
  7. 1 1/2 - 2 cups graham cracker crumbs about 14 full graham crackers
  8. 2 teaspoons baking powder
  9. 1/2 teaspoon salt
  10. 3 Giant Sized Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bars
  11. 16- oz. tub or 3 cups marshmallow fluff


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Lightly grease or spray with cooking spray a 9-inch x 13-inch glass baking pan and line it with parchment paper, so the paper hangs over the sides a little. Set pan aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the graham cracker crumbs, flour, baking powder, and salt and set aside.
  4. Using a mixer, in a large bowl, mix together the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
  5. Add in the eggs and vanilla and continue mixing until well incorporated and smooth.
  6. Add in the dry mixture into the butter / sugar mixture. Beat to incorporate, just until all the ingredients come together.
  7. Gather the dough into a ball and divide dough into 2 balls.
  8. Take one of the balls and spread out into the prepared pan by smooshing it down so that it covers the bottom of the pan completely in an even layer.
  9. Cover the dough with a single layer of the chocolate bars. 3 fits nicely.
  10. Next, add the marshmallow fluff to the top of the chocolate bars and spread out to sides of pan.
  11. Lightly flour a board or counter top and smoosh or roll with a rolling pin, the other half of the s'mores cookie dough and make it/roll it the size of the your pan. I do it by placing the pan on top to get an idea about the size to get an idea. Slice the dough into strips and lay each piece on top of the fluff until you've covered it all as good as you can. Try to cover up all the marshmallow as good as you can, but it's ok to have some marshmallow poking out. 
  12. Place pan into your preheated oven and bake for about 30-35 minutes, until the top is golden brown.
  13. After baked, transfer to cool completely on a rack.
  14. When cool, slice and serve.

  2. 1 cup pecans
  3. 2 cups graham crumbs
  4. 1/4 cup brown sugar
  5. 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  6. 1/2 cup unsalted butter


Cheesecake Filling

  1. 24 ounces cream cheese* full fat, brick-style
  2. 3/4 cup white sugar
  3. 1/2 cup brown sugar
  4. 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  5. 1 tablespoon cornstarch*
  6. 1 cup sour cream*

Pecan Pie Topping

  1. 1/3 cup unsalted butter
  2. 3/4 cup brown sugar
  3. 3/4 cup heavy cream
  4. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  5. 1 tablespoon corn syrup
  6. 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  7. 2 cups pecan halves



Instructions


  1. Preheat the oven to 350F degrees.
  2. Wrap the outside of a 9-inch springform pan with aluminum foil so that the bottom and sides are covered. Wrap at least 3 times so that all the seems are covered.
  3. Pecan Graham Crumb Crust
  4. Pulse the pecans in a food processor until crushed.
  5. In a medium bowl mix together the crushed pecans, graham crumbs, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
  6. Mix in the melted butter. The consistency will be like damp sand.
  7. Press into the bottom and up the sides of the springform pan.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven (leave the oven turned on).


Cheesecake Filling

  1. In a very large bowl, beat the cream cheese until soft.
  2. Mix in the white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon and cornstarch. Turn off the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  3. Beat in the sour cream and vanilla extract.
  4. With the mixer on low speed, beat in the eggs 1 at a time until just combined. Do not continue beating the mixture after the eggs have been incorporated.
  5. Pour the filling over top of the crust, and smooth the top.
  6. Baking and Cooling
  7. Place the cheesecake in the middle of a large roasting pan.
  8. Pour about 1/2 - 1 inch of hot water into the roasting pan to make the water bath.
  9. Place the roasting pan with cheesecake inside in the oven to bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the cheesecake just has a slight wobble in the middle.
  10. Remove the cheesecake from the oven, and cool in the roasting pan until the cheesecake is room temperature.
  11. Remove the cheesecake (still in the springform pan) from the roasting pan, remove the aluminum foil, cover the pan, and chill in the fridge for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight


Pecan Pie Topping

  1. Before serving, make the pecan pie topping.
  2. Add the butter and brown sugar to a medium saucepan over low-medium heat. Melt them together while gently stirring until the sugar is no longer grainy. Bring to a gentle simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add in the cream, vanilla, corn syrup, cinnamon and pecans.
  4. The mixture will start to boil. Stir constantly as it simmers and thickens. Allow the mixture to simmer for at least 5 minutes as you gently stir.
  5. Remove from the heat.
  6. Serving
  7. Remove the cheesecake from the fridge.
  8. With a thin, sharp knife, trace around the edges of the springform pan, then unclamp the outer ring of the pan.
  9. Spoon the pecan pie topping over top of the cheesecake. The pecan pie topping will harden if it's placed in the fridge - which is still delicious, but a bit harder to slice. So I recommend only topping the pieces that you plan to eat.
  10. Slice using a thin, sharp knife and pie lifter to remove from the pan.

SNICKERDOODLE COOKIES

Ingredients

  3. 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  4. 2 large eggs
  5. 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  6. 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  7. 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
  8. 1 teaspoon baking soda
  9. 1/4 teaspoon salt
  10. 4 Tablespoons granulated sugar (for rolling the dough balls in)
  11. 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon (for rolling the dough balls in)


Instructions


  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Cream together butter, shortening, and 1 1/2 cups sugar. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well.
  3. Add the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt and stir until combined. 
  4. Shape dough by spoonfuls into balls. I grease my hands with cooking spray since the dough is slightly sticky. I also like to put one finished tray of rolled cookies in the fridge while I"m rolling the second. Then when you're ready to roll them in cinnamon and sugar they are easier to handle.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix the 4 tablespoons granulated sugar and the cinnamon. Roll balls of dough in mixture. Place dough about 2 inches apart on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  6. Bake 8 to 9 minutes (don't over bake!) Remove immediately (and carefully, with a good spatula!) from baking sheets onto a cooling rack to cool completely.

Chocolate Chip Caramel Bars



INGREDIENTS

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE BARS

  1. 1 cup (2 sticks or 226g) butter, room temperature
  2. 1 1/2 cups (300g) brown sugar
  3. 1 teaspoon vanilla
  4. 2 large eggs, room temperature
  5. 2 1/4 cups (282g) all-purpose flour
  6. 1 teaspoon baking soda
  7. 1 teaspoon salt
  8. 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate morsels


CARAMEL SAUCE

  1. 5 ounces evaporated milk
  2. 1 package (11 ounces) caramel bits or wrapped caramels (be sure to unwrap if using the wrapped caramels)




INSTRUCTIONS



CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE BARS

  1. Heat oven to 350°F.
  2. Add butter, brown sugar, and vanilla to a large bowl and with a hand-held mixer, cream ingredients until they are lighter and fluffier. Add in eggs, mixing well after.
  3. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt and mix on low until combined. I usually add my chocolate morsels right into the cookie dough and mix with the hand-held mixer, but you can also stir them in by hand.
  4. In a prepared 8x12 or 9x13 baking dish, press half of the cookie dough down. Try to get an even layer. Set the remaining cookie dough aside.
  5. Bake for 10 minutes. While the cookie bars are baking, prepare the caramel.



CARAMEL SAUCE

  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, add the evaporated milk and caramel bits. Stir frequently for about 8 minutes, or until the caramels are melted and the evaporated milk is fully incorporated. Remove from heat.
  2. Carefully remove the cookie bars from the oven and place on a heat-safe surface.
  3. Pour the caramel sauce over the bars making sure to get it into every nook and cranny.
  4. Carefully start placing flattened dollops of the remaining cookie dough over the hot caramel. I find it works best to pick up a small handful, flatten it in your hand a bit, and then place that directly on top of the caramel. Do this will all remaining cookie dough. It is ok if there is some caramel showing.
  5. Bake for an additional 15-18 minutes, or until the caramel is bubbling and the cookie is golden brown.
  6. Allow bars to cool to room temperature and then cut and serve.
