Death by Chocolate Cookies

Death by Chocolate Cookies are bursting with heavenly chocolate! A simple recipe with 5 layers of ooey gooey chocolay goodness will have the chocolate lovers in your life giddy with delight!
 layers of ooey gooey chocolay goodness will have the chocolate lovers in your life giddy  Death by Chocolate Cookies



Let’s take a moment to think about this.  I love Death by Chocolate.  Anything and everything I have ever created with that theme in mind has been to die for.  No pun intended.  OK, well maybe I did plan that out.

My favorite Death by Chocolate Cake takes a full day to prepare and 2 sink loads of dishes, a FULL day.  I know, I know.  I was once an overachiever with a lot more time on my hands.  Seven layers of heavenly chocolate beautifully packaged into this fabulous cake.  If you have someone to make it for you…  You totally need to try it.

After some self-therapy and coming to terms with the above delicious creation and the fact that I just don’t have that kind of time, I decided to simplify.  So, I used that fantabulous theme to create a Death by Chocolate Bundt Cake.  With four incredible kinds of chocolate packed into a simple and impressive Bundt cake (with an awesome Kahlua kick), I thought I had found my true Death by Chocolate love…

THEN… Last week my friend Liz from That Skinny Chick Can Bake posted these Death by Chocolate Cookies.  You know I was on her site faster than lightening!  The idea of my favorite rich, decadent, dessert in a bite sized package thrilled me.  I made them the very next day.

Such an easy recipe and all that flavor packed into a tiny cookie.  This is currently my favorite Death by Chocolate endeavor.  I packed 5 kinds of chocolate into that bite sized cookie.  Milk, Semi-sweet, bittersweet, cocoa and white, 5 layers of ooey gooey goodness.  Few dishes and the first batch was out of the oven less than 30 minutes later!  SCORE.

Enjoy!

With love from our simple kitchen to yours.

Don't cherries make you think of summer?

I am not sure what the connection is but bright red cherries automatically bring my mind to summer and that is exactly what I was thinking when I picked up some Dr. Pepper Cherry.

I knew right away I wanted to make a delicious treat with Dr. Pepper Cherry. I mean really isn't that the best idea ever?

I had heard about dump cakes and I decided to give it a try, but kick it up a notch.

You know, bold flavors are kinda part of who I am so I added the Dr Pepper Cherry soda and maraschino cherries to the cake mix and then made a super easy maraschino cherry buttercream to go on top.

All with just 5 ingredients.  This cake is truly outrageous. Rich, moist and loaded with your favorite flavors.

Oh my word! I tell you this cake tastes just like summer.

Helpful Tips to Make Cherry Dr Pepper Cake:

  • You can substitute Cherry Coke if you prefer, but the Cherry Dr Pepper gives it an amazing flavor.
  • To avoid pink fingers, wear kitchen gloves when working with the cherries.
  • This cake keeps for about 3-4 days on the kitchen counter wrapped tightly with plastic wrap. During the summer, or if your kitchen is warm, store in the refrigerator.

 Make this recipe for fluffy lemon cake with blueberries and cream cheese frosting Lemon Blueberry Cake

Hi friends! This is Melissa from MamaGourmand. I’m here happily contributing my favorite tried and true recipes to Donna and Chad’s TSRI lovely readers.

Blueberry Lemon Cake is absolutely spot on for this time of year. Stores and orchards are bursting with peak of the season, fresh blueberries.

 Make this recipe for fluffy lemon cake with blueberries and cream cheese frosting Lemon Blueberry Cake

 Make this recipe for fluffy lemon cake with blueberries and cream cheese frosting Lemon Blueberry Cake

Blueberry Lemon Cake Recipe Tips:

  • Toss fresh or frozen blueberries in 1 tablespoon of flour before baking. This helps the blueberries to stay dispersed throughout the cake and not sink to the bottom.
  • To make a layer cake: Divide batter between two 9 inch cake pans and bake for 20-25 minutes. Poke warm cake layers with holes and drizzle with lemon glaze. Spread the whipped lemon cream cheese frosting in between cooled layers, along with some fresh blueberries. Then frost the entire cake and sprinkle more fresh blueberries on top.
  • To make this recipe with cake mix: Use a yellow or lemon cake mix. Prepare according to box directions, but also add 1 teaspoon of lemon extract and 1 tablespoon of lemon zest. Before baking, fold in 2 cups frozen or fresh blueberries tossed in 1 tablespoon of flour. 
  • For best results, use room temperature ingredients. The eggs, butter, and dairy should all be room temperature before baking. This makes the batter come together smoothly and homogeneously.
  • Buttermilk substitution: Pour 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice in a measuring cup. Add milk until you have 1 1/4 cups total liquid. Let sit for 5-10 minutes, stir, and then use. 
  • Whipped cream substitute: Use 2 cups Cool Whip instead of whipping heavy cream separately to fold into cream cheese frosting.

Tools for making lemon cake


  • Zester - An absolute kitchen essential for fresh flavor! Brighten recipes easily using this handy tool.
  • Hand Mixer - The key to making cakes and frosting so fluffy is a powerful hand mixer, which incorporates air and seamlessly combines ingredients. 
  • Colander - Perfect for washing fresh summer fruit and vegetables! 

Enjoy!

Best Ever Pecan Pie Bars (VIDEO)

Best Ever Pecan Pie Bars are so good people offer to pay me for them. A fabulous recipe with a caramelized pecan pie set atop a shortbread crust is the absolute perfect nut bar. My family requests more of this dessert than any other every year.

 are so good people offer to pay me for them Best Ever Pecan Pie Bars (VIDEO) 

Resharing this in memory of my mom... It's been 6 years and we miss her everyday...

Well, it is officially November and around here that means it's baking season!

Every Christmas I ask our families what they would like to see in the homemade gifts that we give each year.  My family always says the same thing.  "Lots and lots of your pecan bars."

A vanilla shortbread crust is the base for this amazing treat.  2 pounds of pecans and brown sugar guarantee that this will be a very nutty sweet treat.

Interestingly, this is an adapted version of the recipe that started it all. In the fall of 2006, after dating for nearly 10 years, Chad and I were busy preparing for our Christmas wedding.

Needless to say, holiday baking wasn't in the plans, but my mom insisted I had to make these pecan squares that she had gotten from a friend at work.

 are so good people offer to pay me for them Best Ever Pecan Pie Bars (VIDEO)

We lived 2,300 miles apart. So, I wrote down the recipe, planning to make them soon. Let me tell you; those pecan squares were amazing.

At the time I had no idea who the author was, but that one recipe would soon change my world.

It wasn't long after that I was flipping through the channels, and I landed on a woman making the same pecan square recipe that my mom gave me. I stopped, remembering how delicious they were. Her name was Ina Garten.

She had a Long Island accent and a warm laugh that reminded me of my mom. She had a way about her that drew me in. So, I watched, and I learned. A passion was ignited in me to get into the kitchen and try new things.

I started outfitting my kitchen with new tools and getting creative with my food. Before long I found my family and friends were texting me and asking for recipes for my newest creations.

 are so good people offer to pay me for them Best Ever Pecan Pie Bars (VIDEO)

We decided to put them online so everyone we knew could find them. In the summer of 2011, we published our first recipe on blog.

Chad and I are just like Frick and Frack. Partners in love and life, you can't find one of us without the other, so naturally, it was family adventure as Chad saw my passion and excitement and jumped-in, camera in hand. He has an amazing knack for making my recipes looks as delicious as they taste, dontchathink?

The funny thing is, up until this point I REALLY thought I knew everything there was to know about cooking. I proudly served Chad frozen chicken fried steak and boxed mashed potatoes for our first meal together in 1998. I really thought I was the cat's meow. I would soon realize that I had so much to learn.

How to Freeze Pecan Pie Bars

So, to surprise my family I made an entire 12x18 pan of pecan bars and shipped it to my mom for Christmas a few years ago.  I told her if she wrapped them well they would keep for 6 months in the freezer.

Would you believe that shortly after New Years my baby sister called and begged me to make her some more! They were gone. So, I am shipping her a 1/4 pan. Shhh! Its a surprise.

This recipe can be 1/2'd to make a 9x13 pan and cut into 1/4's to make an 8x8 pan.  I seriously recommend that you make these.  You will love them.

Helpful Tips to make Best Ever Pecan Pie Bars:

  • The dough will be very sticky; sprinkle the dough and your hands lightly with flour.
  • Try chopping pecans in a food processer to make easy work of the prep or buy chopped pecans.
  • The pecan bars will be a little wiggly when they are done cooking, just not jiggly. They will set up as they cool.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting, I like to refrigerate overnight.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the bars.
  • I like to use parchment paper to line the pan. When they are done cooling you can lift the bars out of the pan by the parchment and cut on a cutting board.
  • These bars freeze perfectly. Wrap in a gallon size freezer bag with sheets of parchment paper between the stacks of bars. They keep for up to 6 months in the freezer. 

 are so good people offer to pay me for them Best Ever Pecan Pie Bars (VIDEO)

What you will need to make Best Ever Pecan Pie Bars:

  • 12x18 Baking Pan - This is NOT the standard casserole dish. It holds 2 times as much and I use it several times a year to make huge batches of pecan bars.
  • 9x13 Baking Pan - I love this pan for baking cakes with square edge, making pans of brownies and 1/2 recipe of these pecan bars (see the recipe notes for details).
  • 8 x 8 Pan- Perfect square pan for 1/4 recipe of these pecan bars (see recipe notes for details).


Enjoy!

With love from our simple kitchen to yours.

  4. Press the dough evenly into an ungreased 18 by 12 by 2-inch baking sheet, making an edge around the edge like you would a pie crust . It will be very sticky; sprinkle the dough and your hands lightly with flour. Bake for 15 minutes, until the crust is set but not browned. Allow to cool.
  5. For the topping, combine the butter, corn syrup, and brown sugar in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.

  7. Pour over the crust, trying not to get the filling between the crust and the pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the filling is set.
  8. Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold. Cut into bars and serve.
