Best 5 Cookie Butter Brioche Star Recipes

PEANUT BUTTER BRIOCHE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler.
• For the satay sauce: Whisk the peanut butter, coconut milk, lime juice, soy sauce, brown sugar and crushed red pepper together in a small bowl. Set aside.
• For the sandwiches: Combine the peanut butter, chili powder, cumin, crushed red pepper and salt in a small bowl. Stir well.
• On a nonstick baking sheet, lay out 4 slices of the brioche and spread with the spicy peanut butter. Top each slice with about 3 slices of the cheese. Broil until the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes.
• Close the sandwiches with the remaining brioche and broil again until the top slices are toasted, about 1 minute--watch closely, as broilers vary. Flip the sandwiches on the baking sheet and broil one more time until the top slices are toasted, about 1 minute. Cut the sandwiches into triangles, drizzle with the satay sauce and serve.

COOKIE BUTTER BRIOCHE STAR

Steps:

• Place bread flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix with a fork. Add milk, egg yolks, and butter. Attach dough hook and knead until dough forms a ball and feels smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
• Pour vegetable oil into a large bowl. Add dough and roll around to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled, 1 to 2 hours.
• Transfer dough to a flat work surface. Knead gently to knock the air out. Form dough into a flat oblong shape, then roll into a log. Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces. Keep dough covered with a damp cloth while you work with 1 piece at a time.
• Dust work surface with a little flour. Use a rolling pin to roll out first piece of dough. Invert a round 8-inch pan or plate on top; trace the rim with a sharp knife to cut dough into an 8-inch circle.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and slide the circle onto it. Warm cookie butter briefly in the microwave to make it easier to spread. Spread 1/3 of the cookie butter over the dough circle.
• Repeat with 2 more pieces of dough and remaining cookie butter. Roll out last piece of dough, cut into an 8-inch circle, and place on top. Invert the pan or plate over the stack and cut through all the layers to make a perfect circle.
• Invert a small drinking class in the center of the circle. Use a sharp knife to cut dough into quarters, from the base of the drinking glass to the outside edge. Cut quarters into eighths, then into sixteenths.
• Grab 2 slices and twist each one twice, in opposite directions. Repeat all the way around the circle. Pinch and seal all the ends. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise for 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Beat egg whites lightly and brush over dough.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Cool briefly before serving.

COOKIE BUTTER

Steps:

• Roughly crush 12 gingersnaps, 6 whole graham crackers and 5 shortbread cookies, then pulse in a food processor until finely ground. Add 3 tablespoons cold water and pulse until combined, then let sit 10 minutes. Add 1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and a pinch of cinnamon. With the processor running, slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup coconut milk and blend until smooth. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375º.
• Mix first six ingredients.
• Add the rest of the ingredients.
• Mix well.
• Roll into balls and press down with a fork dipped in sugar or flour.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes on ungreased cookie sheet (I usually grease my cookie sheet anyway). Ovens vary so your baking time may be less. Just keep an eye on them.

WORLD'S BEST BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Beat the butter, sugar, salt and vanilla together until smooth and creamy.
• Mix in the egg yolk until well incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl at least once.
• Add the flour and mix just until incorporated.
• Scrape onto a lightly floured board and knead a few times, just until the dough smooths out.
• Turn onto a sheet of plastic wrap and roll into a log, wrap up and refrigerate for several hours or freeze.
• Before baking, preheat the oven to 325°F.
• Line your baking sheets with parchment.
• Slice the dough into slices about 1/8" thick and place them on the sheets about an inch apart (they won't be spreading very much, but they need air room around each cookie).
• Bake until JUST beginning to turn golden around the edges, about 16-18 minutes.
• Note: you can do many things with these cookies.
• You could roll the dough out and cut shapes.
• You could slice them even thinner and sandwich them with chocolate or jam or lemon curd.
• You could make them and then dip them half into chocolate.
• You could just make them and eat them, which is my favorite.
• Whatever you do, they will be delicious.
