FROZEN CHOCOLATE MUDSLIDE

Steps:

• Combine the milk, vodka, coffee liqueur, cream liqueur and ice cream in a blender. Add the ice and blend until smooth. Serve in tall glasses.

MUDSLIDE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line baking sheets with Silpats or parchment paper; set aside. In a small bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
• In a heatproof bowl, or in the top of a double boiler, set over a pot of simmering water, melt together unsweetened and semisweet chocolates and butter; set aside to cool.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat eggs, sugar, and vanilla on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add cooled, melted chocolate mixture, and combine on low speed. Add flour mixture, and continue to beat on low speed until almost combined, about 1 minute. Remove bowl from mixer; stir in milk chocolate by hand.
• Using a 1/2-ounce ice-cream scoop, drop dough onto prepared baking sheets about 3 inches apart. Bake until set, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cookies cool completely on baking sheets.

CHOCOLATE MUDSLIDE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Spread the nuts in a single layer on the sheet; bake for 5 minutes, then remove from the oven and drizzle with the 2 tablespoons of melted butter; set aside to cool while you make the cookie dough.
• Melt the unsweetened chocolate with half of the chopped dark chocolate in a microwave oven or in a bowl over hot water on the stove. Use 15 second bursts on the microwave & stir well between pulses. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Combine the remaining 6 tablespoons of butter and the sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer; beat on medium speed until well incorporated.
• Add the eggs one at a time, then stop to add the flour, baking powder and salt; beat until well combined. Remove the bowl from the mixer.
• Coarsely chop the cooled and buttered nuts, then add them to the mixing bowl along with the melted chocolate and the remaining chopped dark chocolate; stir by hand to combine. The dough will be quite stiff.
• Place a new sheet of parchment paper on the baking sheet. Spoon small mounds (a generous 1 1/2 tablespoons) of the dough onto the sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 16 to 18 minutes; the cookie tops will crack; that's okay. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.

CHOCOLATE MUDSLIDES (COOKIES)

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees.
• Melt the unsweetened chocolate and 4 cups of the bittersweet chocolate over a double-boiler (a simple double boiler can be set up by putting a metal bowl over a simmering pot), stirring periodically.
• Cream the butter and sugar in a mixer until light and fluffy and add the eggs one at a time, blending until mixed.
• Add the flour, baking powder and salt to the butter mixture and mix just until combined.
• Add the melted chocolate and mix until combined and stir in the nuts and remaining chocolate pieces.
• Pour the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray.
• Put the mixture into a refrigerator for 5 to 10 minutes until slightly, but not completely, hardened.
• Reverse the sheet or tray onto another piece of parchment paper on a hard surface.
• Use a knife to divide the mixture into 20 squares.
• With your hands, roll each of the squares into a ball and evenly space them on one or two parchment-lined baking sheets (leave room for them to spread).
• Bake the cookies for 15 to 25 minutes, until crusty on the outside (they should still be gooey on the inside).
• Allow to cool for at least 20 minutes before eating.
• Yield: 20 large cookies.
