HOW TO BROWN BUTTER FOR YOUR FIRST ‘SLUTTY BROWNIE’ LAYER

If you have never made browned butter before, don’t fret, it’s actually super easy and only takes a few minutes. What you are going to do is put 1 cup of butter in a sauce pan and place it on medium heat to melt nice and slow.

Once it melts it will slowly start to heat up eventually starting to bubble and them foam. This is when you want to start stirring the butter gently and continuously as it continue to get darker and darker until it turns a rich amber in colour (approximately 4-5 minutes).

NOTE: you want to stay close here so to ensure you don’t burn the butter. Keep stirring, keep the heat low and be patient, the magic will happen.

Once it’s that beautiful amber colour and you can really smell the nutty richness of the butter, remove it from the heat and transfer to a heat safe glass bowl or ramekin. Make sure to get all the little browned butter bits at the bottom as that is where a lot of the flavour lies!

I like to then let the browned butter cool down to room temperature by either leaving it on the counter for a half hour or placing it in the fridge for a few minutes.

Let your browned butter cool to room temperature before you began preparing your cookie dough.

HOW TO MAKE MY SLUTTY BROWNIES RECIPE

STEP 1: MAKE YOUR CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH LAYER!
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Butter your 9x9 Inch baking pan (if you are using non stick stoneware like I did, you can actually get away with not buttering your pan!)

Once the butter has cooled down to room temperature you can start preparing the first layer of your slutty brownie - the cookie dough layer!

The first thing you are going to do is combine your granulated sugar with your brown sugar in a large bowl. Next, pour in your room temperature butter and mix using a hand blender until the sugar crystals start to melt and combine with the butter to produce a golden amber colour. Apx 2 minutes.

Next add in one egg, on egg yolk and the vanilla, continue to blend for another 2 minutes.

In a separate, smaller bowl, combine all your dry ingredients (flour, baking powder and salt) and using a whisk, give it a good mix.

Next, using a sifter, sift the dry ingredients in three or four parts into the wet ingredients bowl, mixing in between each time with you hand blender. Make sure to scrape the side of the bowl with a spatula to get all the goodness that builds up on the side.

Next add in your dark chocolate chips and coarsely chopped dark chocolate, and using your clean hands, mix the chocolate into the dough until evenly combined/distributed.

Transfer the cookie dough to your buttered 9x9 inch baking pan and using your fingers distribute an even layer of cookie dough across the bottom to create your first ‘slutty brownie’ layer.

Additional Step *optional - Some people like to bake their cookie dough layer a bit before proceeding to the next layer but personally I love a soft cookie and don’t think this is necessary. If you like more of a crunchy cookie base, feel free to bake the cookie dough layer for 8-9 minute to help it ‘set’ before continuing. If you decide to do this step you will need to let the partially cooked cookie dough cool on a wire rack for a bit before proceeding to the next layer.

STEP 2: ADD A LAYER OF OREO’S!

Once the cookie dough is nice and evenly spread out, add a layer of whole Oreo cookies on top of it.

Step 2: Add a layer of Oreo’s on top of your chocolate chip cookie dough!

STEP 3: MIX YOUR BROWNIE BATTER

Using a large microwave safe bowl or a large Ramekin, melt your roughly chopped chocolate and cubed butter together in the microwave using 20-second intervals. This usually doesn’t take more than 3 intervals or a total of 60 seconds but you can check/give the ingredient a mix to gauge consistency between intervals.

When the chocolate and butter are nicely melted/combined, add in your cocoa powder and sugar (if you melted the chocolate and butter in a ramekin, you will need to move it to a larger bowl) and blend together using your clean hand blender until well combined.

Next, add in your eggs and continue to combine with your hand blender

In a separate, medium size bowl, combine your dry ingredients (flour and salt), whisking them together until evenly combined before adding them to your wet ingredients in two to three parts. Continue to use your hand blender to combine everything and remember to scrape the side of the bowl with a spatula to get all the goodness that builds up on the sides. :)

Once well combined, pour the brownie batter on top of the cookie dough/Oreo’s layers, using your spatula to help spread the mixture out evenly.

Bake the entire pan for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out with moist crumbs. When that happens you can remove the baking pan from the oven and allow the slutty brownies to cool completely before serving. If you want to make cutting the brownies up even easier you can refrigerate the brownies for a few hours before serving.

Bake your Slutty Brownies for 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out with moist crumbs

Store brownies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days or in the fridge in an air tight container for a week!

HOMEMADE FORTUNE COOKIES

Thinking of making a customizable treat for someone in your life? Perhaps Valentine’s Day is coming up, maybe you want to cheer a friend up or you need the perfect gift for your anniversary. Look no further than this easy to personalize fortune cookies recipe! Not only can you leave super cute handwritten notes for someone inside or notes of encouragement but the cookies themselves are pretty addictive! When creating my fortune cookies I noticed that it is important to work quick which is why I recommend making your notes or messages ahead of time and having them already prepared. Additionally, when creating customized fortune cookies, you want to make sure you don’t make the batter too thick so that they dont turn into mini pancakes. Instead, spoon out as much as you need and spread it out in a circular motion so you can almost see the parchment paper underneath. Lastly, I would also recommend creating only making two fortune cookies at a time as you need to work fast and it can get harder the more you make at one time. Enjoy!

* Please Note - Some links in this post may be affiliate links *

INGREDIENTS:

Makes about 20 Fortune Cookies


4 Egg Whites
1 Cup of Flour
1 Cup of Sugar
4 TBSP of Water
2TSP of Almond Extract

You will also need:
Hand Mixer
Whisk
Medium Size Bowl
Baking Tray
Parchment Paper
Muffin Tray

DIRECTIONS:

Write out your ‘fortunes’ on strips of paper 4.5-5 inches in length.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In a medium size bowl, beat egg whites with a hand mixer until stiff peaks form .

Add in your flour, sugar and almond extract, and mix with a whisk until it turns into a paste.

Add in your water and continue to combine with a whisk.

Line a baking tray with parchment paper and make circles with the mixture about 4.5 inches in diameter. You don’t want to do more than three at a time (I found my sweet spot to be 2) and don’t make them too thick or else they will come out like pancakes. So make sure they are thin!

Bake for 4 minutes or until edges brown slightly.

Remove from oven allowing to cool for 5 seconds before quickly but carefully pealing the pancake off the parchment and folding it in half with one of the notes inside. Pinch the sides together before folding it in half again using a cup or a lip of a bowl (see below photo for demo).

Place in muffin tray to cool and harden.

Flip parchment paper over and repeat. NOTE: You don’t want to use a piece of parchment paper more than twice otherwise the cookies start to stick to the paper.

THC RED VELVET 'TRUFFLES' FOR VALENTINE'S DAY

Since it has been almost a year since I have had the chance to hang out with all my girlfriends, I thought it would be nice to send them something for Valentine’s Day that will not only spark joy in their life but also let them know that I am thinking of them.

I have never made THC edibles or THC candy or recipes with cannabis before, but after learning how easy it can be to incorporate them into desserts without having to worry about measuring out dosages and making them myself, it got a whole lot easier to imagine ways to use them when baking.

Since Valentine’s Day is the holiday in question, I thought a Red Velvet Cake was fitting, and much like making cake pops, coating the ‘truffle’ with chocolate also became a great way to seal in freshness, add decorative designs, and play well into my Valentine’s Day theme.

If you are looking for a fun little surprise to leave a friend or loved one this Valentine’s Day, I highly recommend this easy to make THC Red Velvet ‘Truffle‘ recipe!

* Please Note - Some links in this post may be affiliate links *

INGREDIENTS:


Makes 12 Truffles

1 Box of Red Velvet Cake Mix (I used Duncan Hines)
1 Cup of Cream Cheese (Softened)
12 THC Chocolates (Any kind that’s small enough to fit inside your desired truffle size - I used Fireside Milk Chocolate 5MG chocolates)
3 Cup of Semi-Sweet Chocolate Baking Chips
2 Cups of Melted White Chocolate (Preferably Melting Wafers)

- Optional Garnish -
Any Heart Shaped Candy

- Cooking Instruments -
Cake Tray
Baking Sheet
Wax Paper
Electric Hand Mixer
Food Processor - optional


CHECK OUT THESE OTHER GREAT GIFT RECIPES!

DIRECTIONS:

Make a Red Velvet Cake according to the instruction on the box.

Using a bowl, beat your cream cheese until it becomes soft and easily spreadable.

Next, deconstruct the cake until it’s just crumbs either using your hands or a food processor, adding it to the bowl with the cream cheese afterwards.

Mix the cream cheese in with the cake so that it becomes doughy once again.

Flatten about 1 TBSP of the cake mixture into your hand, place the THC chocolate in the middle, and roll the sides up around the chocolate (I recommend not going too thick with the mix if you don’t want them to be huge. I thought the size of my palm was plenty big). Place the rolled balls on a baking sheet covered with wax paper.

Next, using the double boiling method, melt the semi-sweet chocolate and drizzle it over each THC cake mix ball until fully coated. You may want to use a spatula to help you. Do the same with the white chocolate wafers. You can use both chocolates together to create designs as well. Don’t forget to add the garnish before the chocolate completely hardens!

Allow chocolate coating to harden on the wax paper before using a knife to trim and remove the bottom of the truffle from the wax paper and store in the fridge. If you are giving them away to a friend remember to tell them to also store them in the fridge until they are ready to be enjoyed.

DIRECTIONS:

When building the cookie mix jar, first make sure they are clean and dry inside.

Mix all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt in a bowl, and then dump it into the jar using a paper funnel and packing it down.

Next dump in your Brown sugar, followed by your granulated sugar, and topped with the semi-sweet chocolate chip to create three additional layers.

Next, add a layer of cling wrap followed by your graham crackers, marshmallows, and Hershey bars. You want to do this so that they can be easily removed from the jar and separated from the mix when your recipient is ready to make the cookies.

Seal the jar and decorate as desired.

Make sure while decorating the jar to add a tag with the following instructions on how to bake the cookies:

- Preheat oven at 350
- Add 1/2 Cup of Salted Butter, 1 Eggs, and 1/2 TSP of Vanilla to a large bowl and beat until well combined.
- Open the jar and removed the top layer that is wrapped in cling wrap - set aside
- Dump the remainder of the jar in with butter and egg mixture and blend till cookie dough starts to form.
- Break graham crackers up and add 2/3 of broken crackers and 2/3 of mini marshmallows to the dough, folding it in. *You will want to save the remaining 1/3’s for garnish!
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper and create dough balls 2-3 TBSP in size and bake for 8 -10 minutes or until almost done, before removing the cookie trays from the oven, garnish with the remaining graham crackers, marshmallows, and pieces of the Hersey chocolate, and return to oven for an additional 2 minutes. (If desired, switch the oven to broil and toast the marshmallows on top. Just be sure to watch them because the small marshmallows burn quickly!)
- Cool for 2-3 minutes on a wire cooling rack before eating or storing in an airtight container.
