Hot Chocolate Cookies

Submitted by: Jamie Buchanan, Communications Content Manager

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter

•

12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips 1 1/3 cups brown sugar, packed

•

•

3 large eggs 2 tsp. vanilla

•

•

1/4 cup cocoa powder

•

1 ½ cups flour

•

1 ½ tsp baking powder

•

¼ tsp salt

•

• 8 oz. dark chocolate cut into ½ inch pieces • 12 large marshmallows cut in half (I use 3 mini marshmallows per cookie instead, it’s cuter 😊 )

Directions:

• To a medium, microwave-safe bowl, add the butter, chocolate chips, and heat on high power to melt for 1 minute. Stop to check and stir. Heat in 15-second bursts, stopping to stir after each burst, until chocolate has melted and can be stirred smooth Alternatively, melt the chocolate chips and butter in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until just melted. • To a separate large bowl, add the brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Beat with a handheld electric mixer on medium speed just until blended, about 1 minute. • Add the cooled chocolate mixture and beat on medium speed until just until combined, about 1 minute. • Add the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat on low speed just until combined, about 1 minute. • Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours, or until dough has firmed up significantly. If you accidentally over-chill it and it becomes too firm, allow bowl to rest on counter until you can scoop it. • Preheat oven to 325F. Line a baking sheet with a Silpat or spray with cooking spray. • Flatten slightly and bake for 10 minutes, or until edges and tops have just set, even if slightly undercooked and glossy in the center. • Remove baking sheet from oven, add 1 piece of dark chocolate to the center of each cookie. • Place marshmallow on the top of each piece of chocolate on all the cookies, pushing down very slightly so the marshmallow adheres. • Return baking sheet to oven and bake for about 5 minutes, or just until marshmallows have puffed; don’t let them brown and don’t overbake. Cookies firm up as they cool.

Nutter Butter Cookie Lasagna (GiGi’s Yum Yums)

Submitted by: Sara Fredrickson, Logistics Sales Executive - Dallas

Ingredients:

• 1 box of Nutter Butter cookies (or more depending on layers) • Cool Whip • Mini Peanut Butter Cups • 1/2 cup (melted) peanut butter • 1 box of instant or regular vanilla pudding (prepared according to the package)

Directions:

• Line the bottom of an 8x8 pan with Nutter Butter Cookies • Top with a drizzle of the melted peanut butter • Add half of the pudding • Add half the Cool Whip (I like to use a pastry bag so it is pretty, but you can spread it if you prefer.) • Top with chopped Peanut Butter Cups. • Repeat the layering! • Decorate the top with crushed Nutter Butter cookies, Peanut Butter Cups and a drizzle more of peanut butter! Notes: • This must be chilled overnight for the cookies to soften! We are talking 24 hours or more. • A little tip to speed the softening up....halve the cookies lengthwise (don't worry about the cream) and layer them halved. • Or you could even chop the cookies and use chopped cookies in the layers! • Either way you choose will be delicious!!!!!
