BLACK FOREST COOKIES



Black Forest Cookies image

From Everyday Food. I haven't tried these yet, but am planning adding to my Holiday cookie baskets. Update: Thanks to Gayla's kind review I had to make these NOW. Soooo glad I did, some of the best cookies I've ever made. Almost like a chocolate covered cherry cookie. Maybe I just make big cookies, but I only ended up with about 24, and 11 1/2 minutes was just the right bake time for my oven.

Categories     Desserts     Cookies     Bar Cookie Recipes

Time 3h54m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 8

cooking spray
1 (17.5 ounce) package double chocolate-chunk cookie mix
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 egg, at room temperature
1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling, divided
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
½ cup white sugar
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping (such as Cool Whip®), thawed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly spray bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  • Stir cookie mix, oil, and egg together in a large bowl until a soft dough forms. Drop 3 heaping tablespoons of dough on an ungreased baking sheet 2 inches apart to make 3 cookies.
  • Bake cookies in the preheated oven until set, 12 to 13 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet, 2 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 15 minutes.
  • Press remaining dough evenly into the bottom of the baking pan.
  • Measure 1 cup cherry pie filling into a small bowl and reserve for the topping; cover with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator.
  • Beat cream cheese, remaining cherry pie filling, and white sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until well-blended, about 2 minutes. Spread cream cheese mixture over dough.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until set, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
  • Spread whipped topping over cream cheese layer. Top with spoonfuls of the reserved pie filling. Crumble cookies into coarse crumbs and sprinkle on top. Chill until flavors blend, at least 1 hour. Cut into 20 bars.

Tips:

  • Before starting the recipe make sure that you have all the ingredients measured and ready to use. You must pay special attention to the ingredients that need to be chilled before using, such as the butter and cream. This will ensure that your cookies turn out perfectly.
  • To achieve the best results, make sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the mixture, resulting in a lighter and more tender cookie.
  • When adding the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, be sure to do so gradually and mix until just combined. Overmixing can result in tough cookies.
  • To prevent the cookies from spreading too much, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to keep the cookies thick and chewy.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Overbaking can result in dry and crumbly cookies.
  • Allow the cookies to cool completely before filling them. This will help to prevent the filling from melting and making the cookies soggy.

Conclusion:

The Black Forest Sandwich Cookies are a delicious and decadent treat that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of chocolate cookies, cherry filling, and whipped cream is sure to please everyone. With a little bit of planning and effort, you can easily make these cookies at home. So why not give them a try? You won't be disappointed.
