Time 1h10m

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups sugar
2 1/2 sticks (1 1/4 cups) butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup good semisweet chocolate chips, plus extra for topping if desired
1 cup milk chocolate chips, plus extra for topping if desired
1/2 cup white chocolate chips, plus extra for topping if desired
16 ounces semisweet chocolate

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Using a mixer, cream the sugar and butter until fluffy, scraping the sides once. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Mix in the vanilla.
  • Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in a bowl, then add in batches to the mixer, mixing until just combined after each addition. Gently mix in the semisweet, milk and white chocolate chips.
  • Using a cookie scoop, add generous 1-tablespoon portions of dough to a baking sheet (about 12 portions). Repeat with the remaining dough and additional baking sheets. Dot the top of each cookie with 2 to 3 chocolate chips if you'd like them to really show up on top. Bake until the cookies are barely done and are still soft and chewy, 9 to 11 minutes. Don't overbake! Let cool on a baking rack.
  • Melt the semisweet chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water.
  • Dip the cookies one by one into the melted chocolate to coat, then transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets to set.

Categories     Other Snacks

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 c chocolate chips -milk, dark or semisweet
2 Tbsp butter
1/2 c raisins
1/2 c chopped pecans or almonds

Steps:

  • 1. Microwave the butter and chocolate on low until melted. Stir in remaining ingredients and drop on cookie sheet. Refrigerate until set.

Tips:

  • Use a large skillet: A large skillet will help the cow pies cook evenly. Don't overcrowd the skillet, or the cow pies will not cook properly.
  • Cook the cow pies over medium heat: Medium heat will help the cow pies cook evenly without burning.
  • Flip the cow pies halfway through cooking: Flipping the cow pies halfway through cooking will ensure that they are cooked evenly.

Conclusion:

Cow pies are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or breakfast. They are perfect for using up ripe bananas, and they can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them plain, with butter and syrup, or with your favorite toppings, cow pies are sure to be a hit. So next time you have a craving for something sweet and satisfying, give cow pies a try!
