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.

COW PIES

Unbaked cookies. These cookies have tons of names, e.g. Hay Stacks, Turtles, Unbaked Cookies, etc. They have always looked like cow poop to me, but they are addicting. Betcha can't eat just one!

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 15m

Yield 24-48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup 1% low-fat milk or 1/2 cup 2% low-fat milk
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups rolled oats
1 cup sweetened coconut

Steps:

  • Melt butter in large sauce pan, add milk, sugar and cocoa powder. Bring to medium boil and boil for 1 minute. Any longer and the sauce will harden too much when cookies set. Any shorter and the cookies may not harden enough.
  • Remove from heat and add rolled oats and coconut. (I usually premix the coconut and oats). Mix well with wooden spoon and drop onto parchment or wax paper. You decide on the size of cookies you want. These cookies take about a 1/2 day to a day to set depending on the size.

In a medium bowl, sift the flour, cocoa and baking soda together and add to the buttermilk mixture, stir until the ingredients are just combined. Be careful not to overework the batter, If there are lumps, they will disappear during baking baking. The less you work the batter, the more tender the pies will be.
  • Fill 6 nonstick muffin top cups with the batter. Bake for 10 minutes in the center of the oven. To prevent the pies from getting soggy after baking, remove the cooked muffins from their cups and cool them on a rack. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup and to prevent the candy from sticking.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan to prevent the candy from burning.
  • Stir the candy constantly to ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Use a candy thermometer to ensure that the candy reaches the correct temperature.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can use the cold water test to check the consistency of the candy. To do this, drop a small amount of the candy into a bowl of cold water. If the candy forms a firm ball, it is ready.
  • Work quickly once the candy has reached the correct temperature, as it will start to set quickly.
  • Be careful not to overcook the candy, as it will become hard and brittle.
  • Store the candy in an airtight container at room temperature.

Cow Pies Candy is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion.
