Categories     Breakfast     Dessert     Snack

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups all-purpose flour (240g)
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional )
¾ cups granulated sugar (150g)
2 large eggs (room temperature)
¼ cup vegetable or canola oil (60ml)
¼ cup unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled (57g))
½ cup sour cream (room temperature (100g))
⅓ cup whole milk (room temperature (80ml))
1 teaspoon vanilla paste or extract
1½ cups fresh blueberries (225g)
Turbinado or demerara sugar (for crunchy tops)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425℉/218℃ and prepare either a jumbo or standard muffin tin with liners. If not using liners, lightly grease each well.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder and cinnamon.
  • Add the blueberries to another bowl and toss with about two tablespoons of the flour mixture and set aside.
  • In a third bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, oil, melted butter, sour cream, whole milk, and vanilla.
  • Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture and use a rubber spatula to gently combine.
  • Once combined, fold in the blueberries. Then, fill each well or liner with batter mostly to the top and sprinkle liberally with the coarse sugar and a few extra blueberries.
  • Bake the muffins for 5 minutes at 425℉/218℃, then reduce the temperature to 400℉/204℃. Bake the jumbo muffins for an additional 16-20 minutes, and regular muffins for an additional 11-15 minutes. For either, a toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs and no wet batter.
  • Remove the pan to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes, then remove each muffin from the well to continue cooling.
  • Enjoy warm with a swipe of salted butter!

COPY CAT JUNIOR'S BLACK AND WHITE COOKIES



Copy Cat Junior's Black and White Cookies image

This is a copy cat recipe of Junior's Cheesecake Restaurant Black and White cookie recipe based on the recipe from the Junior's Dessert Cookbook.

Provided by Ruby

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 1h30m

Yield 24 4 inch cookies, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 1/2 cups cake flour
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 cups unsalted butter
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon extract
2/3 cup heavy cream
10 cups confectioners' sugar (2 1/4 pounds)
1/2 cup light corn syrup
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 hot water, cup plus
3 tablespoons hot water, plus more as needed
5 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted (at least 60% cacao)

Steps:

  • For the Cookies : Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Grease 2 baking sheets and line with parchment paper.
  • Sift both the flours, the baking powder, and salt together into a medium bowl. Then, sift the mixture again into another medium bowl.
  • In a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium, cream the butter and granulated sugar together until light yellow and creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each one. Beat in the extracts.
  • Sift about one-third of the flour mixture over the batter and, using a wooden spoon, stir in, then add about one-third of the cream and stir until mixed. Repeat until all the flour and cream is mixed in well.
  • Using a 1⁄4-cup ice cream scoop or 1/4 measuring cup scoop about 1⁄4 cup batter onto the prepared baking sheets for each cookie. Spread out with a small metal spatula into a 3-inch circle. Space the cookies about 3 inches apart to bake.
  • Bake just until the edges begin to turn light golden and the tops are puffed and spring back when touched, 12 to 13 minutes. The cookies should be only light golden on the bottom, not golden brown. A pick inserted into the center should come out clean. (Do not overbake!) Let the baked cookies cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer, upside down (bottom side up), to wire racks and cool completely.
  • For the Frosting: Sift confectioners' sugar into a medium bowl. Stir in the corn syrup, lemon juice, vanilla, and 1⁄2 cup hot water until smooth. Add more hot water, if needed, a little at a time, until the frosting is spreadable.
  • Transfer 11⁄4 cups frosting to another bowl; stir in the melted chocolate and the 3 tablespoons hot water.
  • Cover the frostings with a damp paper towel to keep them fresh and spreadable as you work; if the frostings stiffen too much, stir in a few more drops of hot water.
  • Using a small metal spatula,, spread white frosting over the entire flat bottom side of each cookie. When the frosting feels set, frost half of each cookie a second time, this time with chocolate frosting, layering it on top of the white and making the center line as straight as possible. Let the icing dry until it is no longer soft to the touch, at least 2 hours, and store the cookies, between sheets of parchment or waxed paper, in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. Do not refrigerate or freeze these cookies.

BEST-EVER BROWNIES FROM BAKING WITH JULIA CHILD



Best-Ever Brownies from Baking With Julia Child image

"Those who are passionate about brownies argue in defense of their favorite type, cakey or fudgey. If you're a cakey fan, go on to another recipe. These are the epitome of soft, dark baked-just-until-barely-set brownies. Their creamy texture makes them seem wildly luxurious and very much a treat to be meted out in small servings (just small enough for a scoop of ice cream and some chocolate sauce). The mixing method is unorthodox for a brownie. Half of an egg-sugar mixture is stirred into the melted chocolate and butter, while the other half is whipped until it thickens and doubles in volume. The lightened eggs are folded into the chocolate with a delicate touch, as are the dry ingredients--tricks that enhance the brownies' lovely texture."

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 37m

Yield 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
8 ounces unsalted butter
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 large eggs, room temperature

Steps:

  • Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 350°. I bake them at a lower oven temp of 330°.
  • Sift the flour and salt together; set aside.
  • Melt the butter and chocolate together in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently and keeping a watchful eye on the pot to make certain the chocolate doesn't scorch (Alternatively, you can melt the ingredients in the top of a double boiler over, not touching, simmering water.) Add 1 cup of the sugar to the mixture and stir for half a minute, then remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
  • Pour the mixture into a large bowl.
  • Put the remaining 1 cup sugar and the eggs into a bowl and mix or whisk by hand just to combine.
  • Little by little, pour half of the sugar and eggs into the chocolate mixture, stirring gently but constantly with a rubber spatula so that the eggs don't set from the heat.
  • Fit the whisk attachment to the mixer and whip the remaining sugar and eggs until they are thick, pale, and doubled in volume, about 3 minutes.
  • Using the rubber spatula, delicately fold the whipped eggs into the chocolate mixture.
  • When the eggs are almost completely incorporated, gently fold in the dry ingredients.
  • Pour and scrape the batter in to an unbuttered 9-inch square pan.
  • Bake the brownies for 22-26 minutes, during which time they will rise a little and the top will turn dark and dry.
  • Cut into the center at about the 22-minute mark to see how the brownies are progressing: they'll be perfect if they're just barely set and still pretty gooey.
  • They're still awfully good on the other side of set, so don't worry if you miss the moment on your first try.
  • Cool the brownies in the pan on a rack.
