JUDY'S EARTHQUAKE COOKIES

Categories     Cookies     Chocolate     Bake

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 squares unsweetened chocolate (don't substitute with cocoa, I tried and it doesn't taste or look as good)
2 tsp vanilla
2 tsp baking powder
2 cups sugar
4 eggs beaten
2 cups flour, sifted
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups of confectioner's sugar

Steps:

  • Melt chocolate and butter in saucepan over medium heat. Stir often. In bowl, beat eggs. Add in sugar, vanilla, and melted chocolate mixture. Add in baking powder, flour, and salt and beat until very smooth. Place bowl in fridge and chill as long as 24 hours (Judy recommends 24 hours). Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prep two cookie sheets with either butter or foil. Place confectioner's sugar in bowl large enough to roll out the fudge balls. Take a teaspoon of the cookie dough and roll into balls. Coat the ball with confectioner's sugar by rolling it around in the sugar many times. Place on baking sheet with enough room for each ball to "explode" open. Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes (depends on oven). Cool and then remove cookies to wire rack (make sure to place tin foil under rack as powdered sugar is very messy).

JUDY'S FAVORITE SUGAR COOKIES

Named for my mom, this recipe originally came from Tupperware. No other sugar cookie recipe even compares. These cookies are meant to be cut out and can be eaten plain or frosted. This recipe makes a LOT, depending on how big of cookies you cut out.

Time 1h50m

Yield 4-5 dozen cookies, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups butter
3 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
3 eggs
6 1/2-7 cups flour
6 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Cream together butter and sugar.
  • Blend in vanilla and eggs.
  • Add in flour, baking powder, and salt. I usually add in the first three cups of flour, with the baking powder and salt, then I slowly work in the other cups. It requires a lot of muscle near the end.
  • Chill dough.
  • On a floured surface, roll and cut cookies. For consistency in baking (and not burning) we use wooden rulers on either edge of the dough to make the dough all one thickness. The rulers keep the rolling pin at their level.
  • Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes. Cookies will be golden along the edges, and still very soft in the middle when removed from the oven.
  • Let cool on a cooling rack.

Tips:

  • Make sure your butter is cold and cut into small pieces. This will help the cookies stay chewy.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature for a short period of time. This will help the cookies get crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and flavor.

Conclusion:

Earthquake cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their chewy texture and crispy edges, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet snack, give earthquake cookies a try!
