SUNNY'S HOLIDAY PB AND J THUMBPRINTS



Sunny's Holiday PB and J Thumbprints image

To give her cookies holiday sparkle, Sunny Anderson rolls them in turbinado sugar, a large-grained sugar with a mild molasses flavor. As the cookies cool, the sugar forms a crisp crackly outer layer on the cookie, too.

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Time 3h45m

Yield 36 thumbprints

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 stick unsalted butter (1/2 cup), room temperature
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup turbinado or raw cane sugar (recommended: Sugar in the Raw)
1/3 cup strawberry preserves

Steps:

  • In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, add the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar, and blend on medium-high speed until creamy. Turn off the mixer and use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl, pushing everything back towards the center. Then add the salt, vanilla and egg, and blend until combined. Lower the speed of the mixer and add the flour in 1/2-cup intervals. Between each addition be sure to completely blend in all the flour and scrape the sides as before. Once completely combined, scrape the dough out of the mixer, add to a container with a lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Remove the cookie dough from the refrigerator and, using a tablespoon, scoop out the dough and roll into a ball between your hands. Then roll the formed ball in the turbinado sugar and place on the prepared baking sheets. Repeat for the rest of the balls, making sure to separate them on the sheet by about 1 inch. Try chopping roasted peanuts and adding them to the sugar before rolling out all the balls or add a drop of food coloring to the sugar to make the cookies even more festive!
  • Once all the balls are on the baking sheet, make an indentation in the center of each using the rounded end of a wooden spoon, the back of a rounded teaspoon or your good old-fashioned thumb. Fill the center of each with about 1/2 teaspoon strawberry preserves. Bake until lightly golden, about 12 minutes. Remove to a wire rack. Let cool before serving.

3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup dark brown sugar

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 8 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
4 tablespoons salted butter
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped onions
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
10 fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
2 scallions (white and green parts), finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
One 12-ounce bag stuffing mix (or cubes), such as Pepperidge Farm (use original flavor)
1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped
1/2 cup lightly packed chopped fresh parsley
1/2 cup dried cranberries
2 apples, diced (I like Honeycrisp)
2 1/2 to 3 cups turkey or chicken stock

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat the bottom and sides of a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, add the butter and melt over medium heat. Add the celery, onions, thyme, sage, scallions, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook until the onions and celery are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds to a minute. Transfer the vegetables to a large mixing bowl.
  • To the bowl of veggies, add the stuffing mix, walnuts, parsley, cranberries and apples and mix well. Add 2 1/2 cups of the stock, tossing well to coat and soak all of the cubes. If more stock is needed, add it splash by splash. There should be no liquid pooling in the bottom of your bowl.
  • Scoop the stuffing mixture into the prepared loaf pan and press down firmly to pack it. Cover the pan with foil, place on a sheet pan and bake for 1 hour. Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F. Remove the foil and continue to bake until golden brown on top, 25 to 30 more minutes.
  • Dig in warm or allow to cool slightly and turn out onto a plate to serve. Or allow to cool completely, then cut into 1-inch-thick slices with a serrated knife and toast in a pan with butter.

Tips:

  • Choose crisp, firm apples that will hold their shape when baked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Pink Lady.
  • Use a sharp knife to core the apples, taking care not to cut all the way through the bottom.
  • If you don't have a corer, you can use a spoon to scoop out the core.
  • Be sure to remove the seeds from the core before stuffing the apples.
  • Don't overstuff the apples, or they may burst open during baking.
  • Bake the apples until they are tender but still hold their shape, about 30-35 minutes.
  • Serve the apples warm or at room temperature, topped with additional peanut butter, jelly, or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Sunny's PB&J Stuffed Apples are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. They are also a great way to use up leftover peanut butter and jelly. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a fun and healthy snack that the whole family will enjoy.
