Peanut Butter Blondie with Chocolate Frosting

Today, I am sharing a really easy blondie cake to make. It looks pretty, and it is very rich. I got my recipe from www.howtocakeit.com . There are a lot of really good recipes, on her website, so check that out. You can find the recipe for the blondies here

So the ingredients are flour, white sugar, butter, peanut butter, eggs brown sugar, and vanilla. For my frosting, I used Duncan Hines Chocolate Frosting.

You start out by melting the butter (the recipe says to do it over a small saucepan, but I used the microwave) and melt the butter. Once the butter is almost melted, then add your peanut butter. If you are doing this in the microwave, I melted the butter in 15-30 second intervals, and I didn't completely melt my butter.

I added my peanut butter, then stirred it until it was all combined. Then I added my brown sugar, white sugar, and whisked it all together.

I then added my eggs. I was all out of vanilla, so I omitted that. After the eggs were incorporated, I then folded in my flour.

I used two 9 inch circle pans. I had to double the recipe that is on the website, because I had two pans, not one. I lined my pans with parchment paper and baked them at 350 for 25-30 minutes. You really have to let this cool, to prevent it from cracking. I tried taking one of the blondies out, and it cracked a little. I used that for my top layer, so it worked out, but be really careful taking the blondies out of the pans. If you have a spingform pan, that will work great. I filled my piping bag with the chocolate frosting, and filled my cakes with it. I had a little bit left, so I piped little dollops on top of the cake. Or rather, the blondies. It looked a little incomplete, so I sprinkled some rainbow sprinkles on top. That really made it look nice. I'm done! This is a really easy recipe to make, and the blodnies are very rich. Enjoy!

Triple Chip Cookies

Today I made triple chip cookies - white chocolate, dark chocolate and milk chocolate chips. First, preheat your oven to 375 F. The list of ingredients are: 2 1/4 cup flour 1 tsp. Baking soda 1 tsp. salt 1 cup softened butter 3/4 cup white sugar 3/4 cup Brown sugar 1 tsp. vanilla extract 2 large eggs 1 3/4 cup chocolate chips (or whole 11.5 oz. bag) In a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda and salt. In a larger bowl cream the butter, the two sugars, and the vanilla extract together. Add the eggs, the stir the flour mixture in and add the chocolate chips. The dough gets slightly thick, do you may have to use your hands to finish mixing the dough. Form the cookie dough into small to medium sized balls. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes depending on your oven. Place onto a cooling rack to set and cool. Let them cool for 5 minutes or so. Then, enjoy! - The Junior Baker

Snickerdoodles

Since Fall is here, I thought I would post a fall themed recipe. So I usually use the recipe I have in my Betty Crocker cookbook, but today I wanted to try something different. I went online and found this recipe from Cookies and Cups, so check out her blog. I think I will probably use the Betty Crocker recipe, so I will tell you more about that at the end of this post. As usual when creaming butter and sugar, you really want to make sure you do it well. I think I creamed mine for at least 3 minutes. More time, such as 5 minutes, would be even better. Once the butter is all creamed together with the sugars, you are going to add your egg and egg yolk one at a time. Before we mix the eggs, we are going to add our baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla. I didn't include the clip of me adding the baking soda because I didn't want you to get it confused with the cream of tartar, but don't worry, I added it. So once all of that is is ...

Chocolate Donuts

With the two doughnut pans I received for Christmas for a relative, I made chocolate donuts using this recipe here . The ingredients are flour, cocoa, baking soda, salt, melted butter, eggs, white sugar, brown sugar, buttermilk, or regular milk mixed with vinegar.The recipe she gives only makes about 6 doughnuts, so I had to double my recipe. First, preheat your oven to 350. Grease your doughnut pans. In a small bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, cocoa, and salt. In a larger bowl, mix together the wet ingredients. Then, mix the wet and dry together. Then fill your pans with the batter. I tried using the piping bag technique, but I didn't use a piping tip and I cut the hole too big, so that didn't turn out well that time. But, if you don't cut your hole too big, the piping bag technique is probably the easiest to do. Bake them in the oven for 8-10 minutes.Let them cool in the pans for 2-3 minutes, then try to take them out. You want...
