Answer 7

Monster Cookie Pizza
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup butter
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 (12 ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In a mixing bowl beat the shortening and butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add 1 1/4 cups of the flour and the brown sugar and beat until thoroughly combined. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, and mix until incorporated. Add the vanilla and baking soda. Beat in the remaining 1 1/4 cups flour and mix until well combined. Stir in chocolate chips.

Using a large ice-cream scoop, place full scoops of the batter on a cookie sheet with no sides. Bake for 5 minutes or until they start to melt. Remove from oven and place on a cookie sheet with sides or a medium size jelly roll pan. Finish baking about 6 to 10 minutes or until cookie base is dark brown. Remove from oven and let cool. They can be sliced into squares or broken into pieces.



Potato Chip Cookies

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans
1/2 cup finely crushed potato chips
2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
Chocolate Sauce, for dipping, optional, recipe follows

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, 1/2 cup of the sugar, and vanilla. Add the toasted pecans and potato chips and stir well. Add the flour and stir to combine.

Place the remaining 1/2 cup sugar in a shallow bowl.

Form the mixture into small balls, about 1 tablespoon each, and place on an ungreased baking sheet.

Dip the bottom of a heavy flat-bottomed glass in the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and flatten the cookies on the baking sheet, dipping in sugar before flattening each cookie. Bake the cookies until light golden brown, 14 to 16 minutes.

Using a spatula, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool. (The cookies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.) When cookies have cooled, dip 1 half of each cookie in the chocolate sauce, if desired. Let harden on a wire rack.


Chocolate Sauce:
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Place the chocolate in a medium heat-proof bowl.

Bring the cream to a bare simmer over low heat. Pour the cream over the chocolate and let sit for 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk the chocolate mixture until smooth and thick. Add the vanilla and whisk to blend.

Use warm for dipping edges of cookies, reheating gently over barely simmering water as necessary.

Answer 8

Try Toll House Cookies but substitute all-veg margarine (like Earth Balance) for the butter. Instead of egg, use a very ripe, mashed banana or a quarter-cup applebutter (or apple sauce).
