Let Us Prey

That is exactly what two of my bad girls did. I have been having to buy cheap dog food for the last month due to being unemployed. I start a back to work on Monday at my former job on a PRN(as needed) basis. Still need a full time gig though.

                                          Decided they wanted Hasenpfeffer Stew.

They even had a tomato out of the garden. to throw into the pot.

Nevertheless, this is what Pepper was doing during the murder of Peter Rabbit.

Death By Chocolate Turtle Cookie Recipe

Sami won second place in the 13-18yr group,  at the Fairhaven Baptist Church Anniversary Sunday Cookie Bake off.
Here is the recipe. And yes, they are as good as they look.


Ingredients

Cookie:

1 c. all-purpose flour

1/3 c. cocoa powder

1/4 tsp. salt

8 T. (1 stick) butter, softened

2/3 c. sugar

1 large egg, separated, plus 1 additional egg white

2 T. milk

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 1/4 c. pecans, finely chopped

Caramel Drizzle:

14 soft caramel candies (I used Kraft Traditional Caramels)

3 T. heavy cream

Chocolate Filling :

1 bag of Milk Chocolate chips (I used Nestle Tollhouse)

1 tsp. oil

Directions
Prepare the Cookies:  
1.  Combine flour, cocoa, and salt; set aside.

2.  With electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add egg yolk, milk, and vanilla; mix until incorporated. Reduce speed to low and add flour mixture until just combined.

3.  Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, 1 hour.

4.  Whisk egg whites in a bowl until frothy.  Place chopped pecans in another bowl.  Roll chilled dough into 1-inch balls, dip in egg whites, and then roll in pecans.  Place balls about 2 inches apart on a baking sheet. Using a 1/2 teaspoon measuring spoon, make an indentation in the center of each dough ball.

5.  Bake at 350 degrees until set, about 12 minutes.

Prepare the Chocolate Filling:  
6.  Combine vegetable oil and half a bag of milk chocolate chips into a microwave container, and melt to a smooth creamy consistency.

7.. Once cookies are removed from oven. Place on a cool rack and then fill each indentation with 1/2tsp of chocolate.

Prepare the Caramel Drizzle:  
8.  Microwave caramels and cream together in a small bowl, stirring occasionally, until smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes.

9..  Drizzle caramel over the cookies as desired.

Makes about 15 cookies.
