POT OF GOLD COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until smooth. Add the egg yolk and beat until well combined. Beat in the milk and vanilla.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in the mixer and beat until a thick dough forms.
• Place 1/3 cup sparkling sugar in a shallow bowl. Shape cookie dough into 2 tablespoon sized balls. Roll each ball in the sparkling sugar and place a few inches apart on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Using the bottom of a wooden spoon, make a hole in the center stirring the end of the spoon around very gently to make the hole a bit large than the end of the spoon. The hole should not go all the way through the cookie. Flatten each cookie slightly with the palm of your hand.
• Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes or until they just start to crackle in places. Let rest on cookie sheets for 5 minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about another 8-10 minutes.
• Cut the candy strips into 3-inch pieces. Set out the mini yellow candies and prepare the icing tube with a star attachment.
• When the cookies have cooled, pipe some icing into the hole in the center of a cookie. Pile enough yellow candies over the icing to cover it and make the cookie look like a pot of gold. Pipe two cloud-like stars on opposite sides of the cookie and arrange a candy strip in a rainbow shape sticking each end of the candy strip into the cloud-like icing. Repeat with remaining cookies.

EDIBLE POT 'O GOLD RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the butterscotch pudding: In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and cornstarch until smooth.
• In a medium pot fitted with a candy thermometer, combine the dark brown sugar, water, vanilla, and kosher salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until the mixture reaches 240°F (115°C). While whisking constantly, slowly pour in the milk and cream. Return to a boil.
• Once the cream mixture is steaming (but not boiling), remove the pot from the heat. Gradually pour the cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking between additions, to temper the eggs.
• Strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve back into the pot and cook, whisking frequently, until thickened and beginning to bubble, 5-10 minutes.
• Transfer the pudding to a clean large bowl. Add the cubed butter and flaky sea salt and mix with an immersion blender or electric hand mixer on the lowest speed until smooth, about 2 minutes.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it directly against the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Transfer to the refrigerator to chill while you make the brownies.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• In a large, microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth. Let cool for 5 minutes.
• Whisk the sugar into the chocolate mixture until well combined and starting to dissolve. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, whisking between each addition to incorporate, then whisk in the vanilla.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, and salt.
• Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until well incorporated.
• Grease the cups of a 6-cup jumbo muffin tin with nonstick spray. Grease the bottom of the other muffin tin.
• Pour the brownie batter into the greased muffin cups until halfway full. Place the muffin tin with the greased bottoms over the filled muffin tin, pressing down gently until the batter just reaches the top of each cup.
• Bake the brownie cups for 35-40 minutes, until the edges appear crispy and the centers no longer look gooey (lift the top muffin tin to check). Remove the top tin and let the brownie cups cool completely.
• Make the rainbow arches: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Add each color of candy melts to a separate small, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals until completely melted and stir until smooth.
• Transfer each color to a piping bag or resealable zip-top bag. Snip a small hole at the tip of each piping bag.
• Starting with the red candy melts and continuing with the orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, pipe 6 small rainbow arches onto the prepared baking sheet. Let harden for at least 5 minutes, then use an offset spatula or butter knife to carefully release the rainbow arches from the parchment.
• Make the grass: In a medium bowl, mix together the shredded coconut and green food coloring until evenly colored. Spread the grass on a serving platter.
• Make the toppings: Using a small paintbrush, dust the yellow cookies on both sides with the edible gold dust to create gold coins.
• Using the remaining melted yellow chocolate to fill the tops of the mini caramel-filled chocolates. Top with gold sprinkles to make mini pots of gold.
• Assemble the pots of gold: Transfer the butterscotch pudding to a piping bag fitted with an open star tip.
• Remove the brownie cups from the pan and place atop the coconut grass.
• Pipe the butterscotch pudding into the brownie cups. Pipe whipped cream clouds on one side of the "pot". Top each pot with 1 rainbow arch, 2 gold coins, 3 mini pots of gold, and gold sugar pearls.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 3 baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper. You don't have to do this, but it will make it much easier to clean if some of the caramel leaks through.
• In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla; beat well. Mix in baking soda, salt, cocoa powder and flour until well combined, but do not over mix.
• Shape dough into 1" balls. Flatten slightly in the palm of your hand. Place one Rolo in the middle and roll the dough up around it so that it is completely enclosed. Place on prepared cookies sheets - 8 to a sheet, staggering them, as they will spread quite a bit when baked.
• Bake 9-11 minutes until puffy and the edges are set. They will appear very fluffy but will gradually flatten out slightly as they cool.
• Cool 1-2 minutes on pans and then remove to wire racks and cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
