BOOM BOOMS
==========
(Makes 9-12 brownies)
Ingredients:
------------
4 ozs unsweetened chocolate
1 stick unsalted butter, room temp
1-1/4 C + 1 T sugar
1/2 t vanilla extract
3 large eggs, room temp
3/4 C all-purpose flour
Instructions:
-------------
Preheat oven to 300F.
Lightly grease an 8" square pan with butter or vegetable oil.
Melt the chocolate and butter in the top of a double boiler placed over
simmering water [I melt mine in the nukebox; 2 mins, high -- Babs].
Cool the mixture for 5 minutes.
Place the sugar in a medium-sized mixing bowl and pour in the chocolate
mixture. Using an electric mixer on medium speed, mix until blended,
about 25 seconds [I'd just do it by hand with fork or whisk]. Scrape
the bowl with a rubber spatula.
Add the vanilla. With the mixer on medium-low speed, add the eggs one
at a time, blending after each addition until the yolk is broken and
dispersed, about 10 seconds. Scrape the bowl after the last egg and
blend until velvety, about 15 more seconds.
Add the flour on low speed and mix for 20 seconds; finish the mixing by
hand, being certain to mix in any flour at the bottom of the bowl. Set
aside.
Cream Cheese filling:
---------------------
8 ozs cream cheese, chilled
1-1/2 t all-purpose flour
5 T sugar
1 large egg, room temp
1/4 t vanilla extract
Instructions:
-------------
Mix all the filling ingredients in a food processor and process until
blended, about 45 seconds. Set aside.
Spread about 2/3 of the brownie batter in the prepared pan. Spread the
cream cheese filling over the brownie batter. Using a spoon, scoop the
remaining brownie batter over the filling in nine equal mounds arranged
in rows of threes so that there is some space between them.
Run a chopstick or the handle of a wooden spoon back and forth the
length of the pan, making parallel lines about 1-1/2 inches apart, then
do the same thing in the othre direction as if making a grid. This will
marbleize the two mixtures. Shake the pan gently back and forth to
level the batter.
Bake the bars on the center oven rack until a tester in the center comes
out clean or with some moist crumbs, about 50 minutes. Allow the
brownies to cool for 1 hour before cutting.

BUTTER SPRITZ
=============
Ingredients:
------------
2 cups butter (*not* margarine)
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs or 6 yolks
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. almond extract
1 tsp. vanilla
5 C. flour
Instructions:
-------------
Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs. Add extracts. Sift together flour,
baking powder, and salt. Add to mixture. Batter will be very stiff.
Use cookie press and bake at 350 degrees F for 8 minutes or until golden
brown.
Personal note: I refrigerate the dough to make it less sticky and
sometimes even refrigerate the cookie sheets between batches to help
make the cookies stick to the sheet instead of melting because the sheet
is hot. Since my press is so old, I have to fuss with it alot more than
with a new one. These things seem to help. I also cut the baking
powder in half because I am at about 6000'. Probably will not be an
issue for you.

CHOCOLATE OATMEAL COOKIES
=========================
Ingredients:
------------
1/2 cup milk
2 cups sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1 stick butter
Instructions:
-------------
Heat over medium heat while stirring until boiling. Let boil for 5
minutes, then remove from heat.
Stir in:
--------
3 cups oatmeal
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup peanut butter (optional)
Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls onto wax paper and let cool (or start
eating - they are good hot too). You have about 3 to 4 minutes after
removing from heat to get the oatmeal stirred in and the cookies dropped
out. After that, enjoy licking the pan and your fingers. I
experimented with less milk (1/3 to 1/4 cup) and boiling for 1 to 3
minutes, and sometimes the cookies came out with a better texture
(moister and softer), but sometimes they never set up at all and we ate
them with a spoon. This way they are a little dry after storing a
couple of days, so I just make sure they get eaten sooner.

COWBOY COOKIES
==============
(Makes about 60 3-inch diameter cookies)
Equipment:
----------
2 LARGE bowls
measuring cups
measuring spoons
heavy mixing spoon
cookie sheets
(oven tiles - optional)
Ingredients:
------------
A.) 1 pound butter
B.) 2 cups sugar
C.) 2 cups, packed, dark brown sugar
D.) 4 eggs
E.) 4 cups flour
F.) 2 tsp salt
G.) 2 tsp baking soda
H.) 1 tsp double-acting baking powder
I.) 6 cups rolled oats (e.g. Quaker Old Fashioned)
J.) 2 12 oz packages chocolate chips
K.) 2 tsp vanilla extract
Directions:
-----------
0. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
1. Mix A-D together in the bigger bowl.
2. Mix E-H together in other bowl.
3. Add E-H to A-D in larger bowl. Blend well.
4. Add oats. Mix well.
5. Add chocolate chips and vanilla. Mix well. Dough should be stiff
but a little sticky. Refrigerate if necessary.
6. Form dough into golf-ball sized balls and place on cookie sheet,
spaced a little over an inch apart.
7. Bake at 350 degrees F for 12-15 minutes. Cookies should be just
brown on top, with golden brown bottoms and around 1/2-inch thick.
Chocolate chips on bottom should NOT burn!
Tips:
-----
1. Use an oven thermometer.
2. DO NOT OVERBAKE!!!
3. If you are using an electric oven, the bottoms of the cookies will
likely burn unless you use some oven tiles on the bottom rack, or use
one of the magic double-layered cookies sheets.
4. Use REAL ingredients. Don't skimp! You're worth it!
5. If cookies collapse on cooling and look greasy, then add another cup
of oats to the dough.
6. If oats do not mix into the dough and cookies have a lot of visible
oat flakes, then you may be using too much oats. The cookies should be
chewy.
7. Store them in an air-tight container with a slice of bread to keep
them from getting hard.

the Kahlua over the baked brownies.
Prepare chocolate pudding according to instructions and refrigerate

DEATH BY CHOCOLATE II
=====================
Ingredients:
------------
1 box chocolate cake mix
1 box instant chocolate pudding (4 serving size (1/2 cup per serving))
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup water (I sometimes substitute Grand Marnier here)
1/2 cup sour cream
4 eggs
12 oz chocolate, semi sweet chips
Instructions:
-------------
Mix ingredients, in order. Pour into greased Bundt pan. Cook at 350
for 55 minutes. Cool 15 minutes and remove from pan. Believe me,
frosting is not necessary with this cake. It's from Dom DeLuise's
cookbook and is called Death by Chocolate II. (Death by Chocolate I is
completely from scratch)
Additional Notes (mine, not Dom D's):
-------------------------------------
1) This stuff is *very* thick. I skipped the mixers and just used a
spoon to mix for about 3-4 minutes until there was no more visible dry
ingredients.
2) You might want to up the 1/4 cup oil to 1/2 cup oil. I did this and
had a significantly moister but still dense cake.
3) This cake will most likely vary by the type of chocolate cake mix
bought. My best results to date were by using the chocolate "pudding in
the box" cake mix combined with 1/2 cup oil.

Melt 12oz of Chocolate Morsels, Hot Fudge, Peanut Butter and 1 cup of
the Liqour in a small saucepan. When mixture is liquid, mix into batter
(for the truly decadent, replace all fluids (milk/water) in batter with
Liquor).
Pour batter into ONE 13x9x2 pan.
Melt remaining Chocolate & Liquor in saucepan. Using a spoon, drizzle
the chocolate over the batter (needs to be very liquid to work well).
Pour the rest over ice cream to keep you from eating the brownies
immediately.
Bake in 350 degree oven for 35-40 min.
Important:
----------
Every 5-10 minutes, remove the pan from the oven and *slam* it down on a
counter two or three times. If you do not, the brownies will escape
into the bowels of your oven!
Brownies are done when a toothpick inserted *near the edge* comes out
clean.
Note:
-----
The center will still be semi-liquid.
Can be eaten immediately, but best after 24 hours (it takes time for the
fudge to set!).
Consume a 1" cube with a half-gallon of milk. Share a lot. (the all
Bailey's version is *very* popular)

Cream butter 'till soft and add to sugar and eggs. (I assume they mean

didn't say, but I'd grease it to make sure. Or line it w/ parchment
paper or aluminium foil) Bake at 375 to 400 degrees. (Until done, I

ORIGINAL TOLL HOUSE COOKIES
===========================
Ingredients:
------------
2 1/4 c. unsifted flour
3/4 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1 t. baking soda
1 t. vanilla
1 t. salt
2 eggs
1 c. Crisco
1 12-oz. pkg. Nestle Semi-Sweet
3/4 c. sugar
Real Chocolate Morsels
1 c. chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions:
-------------
Preheat oven to 375 F. In small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and
salt. In large bowl, combine butter, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla.
Beat til creamy. Beat in eggs. Gradually add flour mixture. Mix well.
Stir in choc. chips (and nuts, if you must). Drop by rounded
tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 8-10 minutes. Makes
100 2" cookies.
Hints:
------
I always make larger cookies because I don't like them crispy, I like
them chewy, and it's easier not to overbake them if they are larger.
Mine are 3-4" in diameter so I don't get 100 cookies. Another
variation, if I'm in a hurry or just lazy, is to just press the dough
out in a jelly roll type pan and bake about 20-25 minutes. Then cut
into bars.
