cruisecatmama Posted October 29, 2008 #27 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Hi Corkey! Here's an easy recipe for your new thread..... Triple-Chocolate Cookies The key to the fugdy texture of these cookies is letting them cool directly on the baking sheets. Avoid using bittersweet bar chocolate -- the cookies won't hold their shape. 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped 1½ cups bittersweet chocolate chips 7 Tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces 2 teaspoons instant coffee (espresso powder is best) 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 3 large eggs, room temperature 1 cup sugar ½ cup all-purpose flour ½ teaspoon baking powder ½ teaspoon table salt 1½ cups semisweet chocolate chips 1. Melt unsweetened chocolate, bittersweet chocolate chips and butter in heatproof bowl set over saucepan of simmering water, stirring frequently, until completely smooth and glossy. Remove bowl from pan and set aside to cool slightly. 2. Stir coffee powder and vanilla extract together in small bowl until dissolved. Beat eggs and sugar in large bowl with electric mixer at medium-high speed until very thick and pale, about 4 minutes. Add vanilla-coffee mixture and beat until incorporated, 20 seconds. Reduce speed to low, add chocolate mixture and mix until thoroughly combined, about 30 seconds. 3. Whisk flour, baking powder and salt together in medium bowl. Using large rubber spatula, fold flour mixture and semisweet chocolate chips into batter. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes until batter firms up (it will more closely resemble thick brownie batter than cookie dough). 4. Meanwhile, adjust two oven racks to upper and lower middle positions and heat oven to 350º. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Using 1 heaping tablespoon batter per cookie (I use a 1 tablespoon sized ice cream scoop), place cookies 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake until cookies are shiny and cracked on top, 11 to 14 minutes, rotating sheets top to bottom, and front to back halfway through baking time. Transfer baking sheets to racks and cool cookies completely on baking sheets before serving. I'm not a big chocolate fan, but I love these, especially with a glass of port...

cruisecatmama Posted October 30, 2008 #33 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Mmmmm, all those desserts need another entrée: Sautéed Pork Tenderloin and Pears and Mustard-Port Sauce 4 servings if you're making a few sides or aren't hungry... 3 Tablespoons butter 4 firm Bartlett pears, cored, peeled and quartered 1 1-lb pork tenderloin, sliced into 12 ½-inch-thick medallions 1/3 cup flour ¾ cup low sodium chicken broth 2/3 cup tawny port 2½ teaspoons whole grain Dijon mustard 2 teaspoons Dijon Mustard Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pears and sauté until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer pears to plate (do not clean skillet). Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Coat pork with flour, shake off excess. Add to same skillet and cook over medium-high until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Using slotted spoon, transfer pork to plate with pears. Add broth, port and both mustards to skillet. Boil until reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, return pork, pears and any accumulated juices to skillet and simmer until pork is cooked through and sauce reduced to glaze, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve. If you don't have port, you can substitute sherry, marsala or any table wine you have on hand. Both mustards add depth/texture, but you can use just one if that's all you have. Enjoy! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LynnAB Posted August 17, 2012 #44 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I often say that I am not a booze person - I am good with one glass of wine per event - etc etc... one foo foo drink per day -- but I sure can make booze cakes and rum balls! jello shooters (margarita flavor) - Carol Hi, Carol, I just found this thread and am excited. I love reading recipes (I read cookbooks like novels). I am very interested in "booze cakes, rum balls, Jello shooters, etc.). It's funny because I'm not a big drinker, but I love rum cakes and tropical recipes that transport me to the ialands :). If you have any great recipes like that, I would really appreciate them...and I'll start hunting yhrough mine so I can share. Lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynnAB Posted August 17, 2012 #45 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Since I keep thinking about the Caribbean and wanting to BE THERE, I'm also thinking about rum cake, rum balls, etc. Here is a very simple but oh, so delicious and addictive rum ball recipe. RUM BALLS 1 1/2 cups vanilla wafer crumbs (50 cookies) 1/4 cup dark rum 1/4 cup honey 8 oz. ground walnuts (makes 2 cups) Confectioner's sugar Mix all ingredients well (I use my food processor for this) and form into 1" balls. Roll in confectioner's sugar, place in covered container, and try to not keep nibbling on them. NOTE: If you want to make AMARETTO BALLS, substitute Amaretto for the rum and almonds for the walnuts. Yummmmmmy :) Lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
