Does anyone have any good bar or cookie recipes?!
Does anyone have any good bar or cookie recipes?
something easy to make would be preferable.
Answers:
Any recipe will work. The trick is to change the sugar that is in them. If the recipe calls for 1 cup sugar, change that to 1/3 Cup white, 1/3 Cup light brown, and 1/3 Cup dark brown sugar. Dark brown can be found right next to light brown in the store.
You will have amazing cookies every time.
Scotcharoos
1 Cup White Sugar
1 Cup of Light Corn Syrup (Karo)
1 1/2 Cup of creamy Peanut butter
6 Cups of Rice Krispies
1/2 bag of semi sweet chocolate chips
1/2 bag of butterscotch chips
On your stovetop in a large pan melt the first three ingredients until they reach a slow boil, mix well. Remove from heat and stir in the cereal. Put that into a 9x13 pan, smooth out the top and let cool.
When cool, in a smaller pan on your stove top melt the chips together over low heat. Pour that on top of the bars and let cool and harden.
Awesome!!
Meyer Lemon Bars
Crust:
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/8 tsp salt
4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
Filling:
2 large eggs
1 cup superfine or bakers' sugar
2 tbsp all purpose flour
1/8 tsp salt
2 tsp finely grated meyer lemon zest*
1/4 cup freshly squeezed meyer lemon juice*
Preheat oven to 350F. Butter and line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper.
To make crust:
Combine flour, confectioners' sugar and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Add butter and pulse until the mixture is pebbly. Press evenly into the bottom of your prepared pan. Bake until lightly golden, about 18-20 minutes. Set aside crust.
To make filling:
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, flour and salt. Whisk in lemon zest and juice until well combined. Pour over crust (it's okay if crust is still hot). Bake until filling is just set, about 15 to 18 minutes. Cool completely before serving. Dust with confectioners' sugar if desired.
* Note: I use meyer lemons (because we have a tree in our garden). Meyer lemons are less tart than the Eureka lemons found in the supermarket. The lemon bars will be a bit tarter with Eureka lemons, but you can increase the sweetness by adding an additional 1-2 tablespoons of sugar to the filling.
this is the easiest thing in the world tho'
