PEANUT BUTTER FINGERS WITH SALTY MILK CHOCOLATE GLAZE



Peanut Butter Fingers with Salty Milk Chocolate Glaze image

Nut cookies in the shape of "sticks" or "fingers" were kind of a thing back in the day. I substitute bread flour instead of all-purpose for chewiness, which is a must for a peanut butter cookie in my opinion.

Provided by Jessie Sheehan

Yield Makes 12 fingers

Number Of Ingredients 18

Cookies:
1 1/3 cups [185 g] bread flour or all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp table salt
1/2 cup [110 g] unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup [100 g] granulated sugar
1 cup [200 g] packed light brown sugar
6 Tbsp [90 ml] vegetable oil
1 cup [260 g] creamy peanut butter (not all-natural)
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
Glaze:
3 1/2 oz [100 g] milk chocolate
1/8 tsp table salt
1/4 cup [60 ml] heavy cream
Flaky sea salt for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Grease an 8-by-8-by-2-in [20-by-20-by-5-cm] pan with nonstick cooking spray or softened butter, line with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides, and grease again.
  • For the cookies:
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugars on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the oil and peanut butter and continue to mix until fully incorporated, scraping down the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.
  • Decrease the mixer speed to medium-low and add the egg and yolk, one at a time, beating well and scraping the bowl after each addition with a rubber spatula. Add the vanilla and mix to combine. Add the dry ingredients all at once, mixing just to combine.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 to 36 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F [180°C].
  • Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan, making it as flat and even as possible. Bake for 22 to 27 minutes, until browned and dry to the touch. Let cool.
  • Freeze for about 10 minutes (this helps immeasurably with making clean cuts). Alternatively, you can tightly wrap the pan and freeze for up to a week before bringing back to room temperature and cutting and glazing.
  • Lift the bar cookie from the pan using the parchment paper sling. Trim off all four edges, then slice the bar in half horizontally and vertically cut each half into 6 slices, creating 12 fingers.
  • For the glaze:
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Place the chocolate and salt in a small heatproof bowl. Heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium heat, until just boiling.
  • Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let sit for 1 minute. Mix the chocolate and cream together until the two are combined. If the chocolate is not completely melted, place in a pan set over simmering water and melt on the stove top over low heat.
  • Dip the top of each finger in the glaze, double-dipping for a thicker coat if you so desire, and place on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle flaky sea salt over each one. Refrigerate until the chocolate sets, about an hour.
  • Serve the fingers cold from the fridge or at room temperature. The cookies will keep in an airtight container on the counter or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

CHOCOLATE FINGERS

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 2h

Yield 36 fingers

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 box chocolate cake or brownie mix
1 pound butter, room temperature (4 sticks)
1 cup powdered sugar, plus more for dusting
1/2 cup chocolate sauce or ganache
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Prepare the cake mix according to manufacturers directions. Pour the batter into a greased 9 by 12-inch cake pan and bake according to package instructions. Remove the cake from the oven and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • With an electric mixer in a large bowl, beat the butter on medium speed for 5 minutes, then add the sugar, chocolate and vanilla extract. Continue to mix for 2 to 3 minutes, stopping during the mixing to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Remove the cake from the oven and apply the chocolate mixture to the top of the cake with a spatula. It should be 1/2 to 3/4-inch thick. Return the cake to the refrigerator and allow the topping to set. Remove the cake from the pan with spatula and cut into 3 by 1-inch fingers with a sharp knife. Arrange on a serving tray and dust with powdered sugar.

Tips:

  • For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the chocolate coating by dipping a spoon into the melted chocolate and then placing it in a glass of cold water. If the chocolate sets quickly and becomes firm, it is ready to use.
  • To make the peanut butter filling smoother, use a food processor or high-powered blender.
  • If you want a more intense peanut butter flavor, use a natural peanut butter that contains no added sugar or salt.
  • For a fun and festive touch, decorate the chocolatey peanut butter fingers with sprinkles, chopped nuts, or even edible glitter.

Chocolatey peanut butter fingers are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion.
