Salted Caramel Dark Chocolate Cookies

I found this recipe through Pinterest and found Sally's Baking Addiction website.  Sally's Baking Addiction  It looked so mouth-wateringly delicious I had to try it.  Plus, I'm a sucker for salted caramel.  That combo between sweet and savory is so amazing, my mouth is actually watering as I'm typing this!  I have made 2 batches now, and although they were a little work the first time around, the second time went much smoother/easier and they're so worth it.  Brought them to work to keep myself and Reid from eating alllll of them and my boss asked what the special occasion was.  They were gone in a hot minute.

Salted Caramel Dark Chocolate Cookies
Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup dark brown sugar 
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup + 2 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 Tablespoons milk
  • 1 and 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or morsels, ~60% bittersweet
  • 18 chocolate coated caramel candies (IE Rolos)
  • course sea salt

    • Directions
    1. Cream together butter and sugars with a handheld mixer on medium.  Slowly add in vanilla and egg.
    2. Sift flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together in a separate large bowl.  Add the wet ingredients slowly, mixing between additions.  Stir in milk and fold in dark chocolate chips.  This makes a very thick and sticky dough.
    3. Chill in refrigerator for 1-2 hours. 
    4. Scoop out 2 one tbs sized balls of dough.  Sandwhich a caramel candy between these balls to form one ball.  Make sure the edges of the caramel candies are completely sealed.
    5. Sprinkle about 1/2 tsp sea salt on each cookie
    6. Bake in preheated oven at 350* degrees for 10-13 minutes.  Cookies will be soft, allow to cool for 2-3 minutes before transfering to wire rack.
    7. Pour a glass of milk and enjoy! These guys are rich!

    Copy Cat Kerbey Queso

    Image
    You cannot be a proper Tex-Mex lover without eating at least 1 quart of queso per year.  I'm pretty sure I started the year off in the right direction by making this copy-cat Kerbey Queso for NYE.   Kerbey Lane Queso is my favorite in Austin.  So creamy, so cheesy, and so good.  White queso with pico and a scoop of guacemole in it that you kind-of have to dig around in, which makes it soooo good.  Have I said how good it is? That being said, I've tried so many queso recipes.  I've made beschemels, I've used expensive, good cheeses.  No queso seems to hold that creamy consistency very well.  So when one of my friends, Rachel, was back home in Austin from her now home-town in Seattle she asked one of the servers what's in it.  She just had to know.  The server leaned in close to her and whispered, "it's white processed cheese."  OMG, my mind was blown.  No wonder it's so flippin' good.  I think the HEB brand white queso is...

    Mom's Bun Bo Hue Chay (Vietnamese vegetarian spicy "beef" noodle soup)

    Image
    After many requests from my sister and cousin, I finally documented my mom's vegetarian bun bo chay !  Get ready, this recipe is kind of intense and usually takes 2 days to make.  My mom makes a giant pot of it and the whole family eats it in the span of a day or two.  She freezes the broth for later use (if there is any left over!).  The flavor does enhance each time the broth is reheated, so it's usually better the second day and each subsequent time.  It's so good, I often prefer it to regular bun bo (Spicy Vietnamese Beef Noodle Soup). Bun bo Hue  is a specialty of the central region of Vietnam, where my dad's side is from.  You won't find it as commonly as pho  or bun  (vermicelli bowls) in most Vietnamese restaurants.  This is a soup that is a labor of love and family and spicy-tolerance.  My ong noi  (paternal grandfather) used to make the best bun bo hue !  Now my Aunt Angelique/ Co Be  makes a cleaner, tast...
