CHOCOLATE KOLBASA (RUSSIAN NO-BAKE FUDGE COOKIES)



Chocolate Kolbasa (Russian No-Bake Fudge Cookies) image

The chef Bonnie Morales Frumkin upgraded this recipe from a treat her Russian family often made during the Soviet era as a way to stretch precious supplies like cookies and cocoa powder. By adding bittersweet chocolate and toasted hazelnuts, she has made it positively luxurious. The treat gets its name from its resemblance to a salami, with bits of nuts and cookies studding each slice.

Provided by Julia Moskin

Categories     cookies and bars, dessert

Time 3h30m

Yield About 3 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

About 4 ounces/110 grams plain cookies, such as shortbread, tea biscuits, chocolate wafers or graham crackers (store-bought is fine), to make 2 cups cookie bits
2/3 cup/3 ounces/85 grams chopped toasted hazelnuts, walnuts or pecans
8 tablespoons/120 grams unsalted butter (1 stick)
3/4 cup/6 ounces/180 milliliters sweetened condensed milk
4 1/2 ounces/125 grams bittersweet chocolate, in bars or chips
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt or 1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/4 cup/30 grams confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Place cookies in a bowl and use a masher to crush them into bits. (The biggest pieces should be no larger than 1/2-inch square.) Dump mixture into a colander and shake to remove most of the tiny crumbs. You should have about 2 cups pieces remaining. Return to bowl and add nuts.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Whisk in condensed milk. If using bar chocolate, break into medium-size pieces. Add chocolate, cocoa powder and salt, and whisk until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • Scrape chocolate mixture into bowl with cookies. Stir together and set aside at room temperature for 15 minutes to firm up.
  • Meanwhile, lay 2 sheets of aluminum foil, each about 18 inches long, on a work surface. Top each with a sheet of waxed or parchment paper. Divide cookie mixture between the two. Using paper and your hands, shape and roll mixture into two cylinders of dough, each about 12 inches long and 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Roll dough up in the paper, then again in foil. Roll on the work surface to make sure the log is even, then twist the ends of the foil to secure.
  • Refrigerate the logs until firm, at least 1 hour. After 1 hour, check to make sure they are setting evenly. If necessary, roll on the work surface again until smooth (no need to remove the foil and paper). Refrigerate until fully set, another 2 hours or up to 3 days.
  • When ready to serve, remove logs from refrigerator and unwrap them on a work surface. Sprinkle confectioners' sugar over them, turning to coat. Shake off excess and use a serrated knife to slice into 1/4-inch rounds. Plate and serve, or refrigerate up to 2 hours.

Categories     Chocolate

Number Of Ingredients 13

COOKIES
1 box betty crocker triple chocolate fudge cake mix
2 eggs
1/3 c vegetable oil
1/2 c semi-sweet chocolate chips
FOR THE PRALINE ICING
1 c chopped pecans
1 c firmly packed light brown sugar
1/3 c whipping cream
1/4 c salted butter
1 c powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
TIP: IF YOU CAN NOT FIND THE BETTY CROCKER TRIPLE CHOCOLATE FUDGE CAKE MIX THEN FEEL FREE TO USE A REGULAR CHOCOLATE FUDGE CAKE MIX, BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL 1/2 CUP OF CHOCOLATE CHIPS.

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix together cake mix, eggs, and oil until powder is completely dissolved together.
  • 2. Next add the 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. Mix well.
  • 3. Grease a cookie sheet and drop by spoon fulls onto pan. I like to use my cookie scoop for more uniform cookies. Bake 9-12 min until done. The cookies will come out soft but will harden up a little when it cools. They will be nice a chewy.
  • 4. FOR THE FROSTING: While cookies are cooling bring the brown sugar, whipping cream, and butter to a boil in a 2 quart sauce pan over medium heat, stirring often; boil for 1 min.
  • 5. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in chopped pecans. Stirring gently for 2-4 minutes or until mixture begins to cool and thicken slightly.
  • 6. With the cookies on a cooling rack, place a sheet of aluminum foil under the cooling rack. Then spoon the icing over the cookies. Let the icing set and then enjoy!

CHOCOLATE FUDGE COOKIES WITH TOFFEE & DRIED CHERRIES



Chocolate Fudge Cookies With Toffee & Dried Cherries image

These cookies have a crispy exterior and a soft and chewy interior. The various flavours and textures (rich dark chocolate, chewy sour cherries, and sweet crisp toffee) combine to produce a deliciously addictive cookie. From Regan Daley's cookbook, "In The Sweet Kitchen: The Definitive Baker's Companion". If you are using cherries, make sure they are plump and soft. If you want smaller cookies, decrease baking time. Dough freezes very well. These are fabulously gooey when warm.

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 40m

Yield 40 large cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened dutch cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup tightly packed dark brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup plump moist dried sour cherries (optional)
8 ounces bitter chocolate (can use chocolate chips) or 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped into chunks about the size of the cherries (can use chocolate chips)
1 cup english toffee pieces, such as Skor Bits

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F Line two heavy baking sheets, not non-stick with parchment paper and set aside. Sift flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt together in a bowl and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of an electric or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and both sugars until light in colour and fluffy - about 2 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl. Beat in the vanilla. Stir in the flour-mixture in 3 additions, blending just until the dry ingredients are moistened. This part is really easier with a wooden spoon since the batter is quite dense. (The dough may be frozen at this point for up to 4 months; wrap securely in plastic wrap, then in a plastic freezer bag; thaw in the refrigerator without removing its wrapping before portioning the cookies and baking.).
  • Drop the batter by heaping tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets and place them in the centre of the oven, turning half way through baking.
  • Bake the cookies for 15-18 minutes or until barely set in the centre and just firm around the edges. Cool cookies on tray for 3-5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely before storing. Store in air tight containers, layered between sheets of parchment or waxed paper for up to 5 days.

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 19

COOKIES
3 c all purpose flour
1/2 c cocoa powder (use good quality cocoa)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 c butter, softened
2/3 c sugar
1/2 c brown sugar
1 egg
2 Tbsp water
1 tsp almond extract
1 tsp vanilla extract
GLAZE
1 c powdered sugar
1 Tbsp corn syrup, light
1 Tbsp milk (you may need more milk)
1/4 tsp almond extract
food coloring (i used a gel food coloring)
NOTE: I MADE 3 BATCHES OF GLAZE; 1 WHITE, 1 PINK AND 1 RED. THIS WAS NOT ENOUGH GLAZE TO COVER ALL THE COOKIES SO YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE ADDITIONAL BATCHES AS NEEDED. THE AMOUNT I MADE COVERED 12 TO 14 MED/LG COOKIES.

Steps:

  • 1. DIRECTIONS FOR COOKIES In a separate bowl sift together: flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt; set aside. NOTE: once sifted, I whisked to ensure dry ingredients were well combined.
  • 2. Cream butter, sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg, water, almond extract and vanilla. Mix for about 1 minute, or until well combined.
  • 3. Add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture 2 or 3 tablespoons at a time. Beat until all ingredients are mixed well. Refrigerate dough 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • 4. Roll the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Cut it into desired shapes. NOTE: For my lightly floured surface, I mix cocoa in my flour to prevent white flour spots on the cookies.
  • 5. Bake at 350 degrees for 7-10 minutes. Do not over bake. These cookies are better a little soft. Remove for oven and cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes; tranfer to wire rack to completely cool.
  • 6. Photo of baked cookies cooling on rack.
  • 7. DIRECTIONS FOR GLAZE Place all ingredients, except the food coloring, into a medium sized bowl; whisk to combine. You want a thick syrup. Add more powdered sugar to thicken, and more milk to thin.
  • 8. Add the food coloring, whisk well to combined.
  • 9. Pour the icing into a condiment bottle. Be sure to put the cap on to ensure it doesn't dry out.
  • 10. Make additional colors as desired repeating the above steps.
  • 11. To decorate; cover cookie with glaze (your choice of color). To make fun patterns and designs you can pipe a different color onto the cookie while it is still wet, or pipe another color on, after it has dried (for 5 minutes). Just depends what kind of look you like. All of the cookies you see here I've used the wet on wet technique.
  • 12. Allow cookies to dry over night. Once dry, cookies should stack nicely without affecting the design.

Tips:

  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Use a cookie scoop to measure out the dough: This will ensure that all of the cookies are the same size and shape.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just set and the centers are still slightly soft: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.

  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: You can also freeze the cookies for up to 2 months.
