Twice Baked Cookies Recipes

TWICE BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Gently scrub potatoes, but do not peel. Pierce potatoes several times with a fork to allow steam to escape while potatoes bake.
• Bake 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender when pierced in center with a fork.
• When potatoes are cool enough to handle, cut lengthwise in half; scoop out inside, leaving a thin shell. In medium bowl, mash potatoes with potato masher or electric mixer on low speed until no lumps remain. Add milk in small amounts, beating after each addition with potato masher or electric mixer on low speed (amount of milk needed to make potatoes smooth and fluffy depends on kind of potatoes used).
• Add butter, salt and pepper; beat vigorously until potatoes are light and fluffy. Stir in cheese and chives. Fill potato shells with mashed potato mixture. Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
• Increase oven temperature to 400°F. Bake about 20 minutes or until hot.

ULTIMATE TWICE BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake potatoes in preheated oven for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
• When potatoes are done allow them to cool for 10 minutes. Slice potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop the flesh into a large bowl; save skins. To the potato flesh add sour cream, milk, butter, salt, pepper, 1/2 cup cheese and 1/2 the green onions. Mix with a hand mixer until well blended and creamy. Spoon the mixture into the potato skins. Top each with remaining cheese, green onions and bacon.

TWICE BAKED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Use a fork to pierce the potato skins.
• Bake the potatoes unwrapped for about 1 hour, or until soft, in the preheated oven.
• Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Drain, crumble and set aside.
• Over medium-low heat melt the butter in a large saucepan. Combine onion, mushrooms, red pepper, garlic powder, pepper, chives and salt. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally until the onions are soft.
• Slice open the baked potatoes and, keeping the skins intact, scoop the insides into a medium bowl. Transfer the onion mixture to the bowl. Mix in the sour cream. Pour in 1/2 of the cheese and continue mixing until all ingredients are well blended.
• Using a large spoon, fill the potato skins with the mixture. Top with bread crumbs, the remaining cheese and bacon.
• Return the potatoes to the preheated oven and continue baking for about 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the filling is slightly brown.

TWICE BAKED OLIVE COOKIE WITH LEMON CUSTARD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• To make cookie combine 8 ounces butter and sugar in mixer and cream until smooth. Add flour and almond powder to butter and sugar mixture. The dough should not be smooth, but a sandy texture. Remove batter from bowl and roll out to 1/8-inch thick. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Let the sandy cookie completely cool. Place back in mixing bowl, and add remaining butter and olives until a paste is formed. Roll out dough, place on cookie sheet, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• When dough is firm remove, and cut into desired shape. Place cookies on pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool and set aside.
• Place lemon juice and zest in a pot. Add the cornstarch and sugar to lemon juice while still cold. Mix together and cook on stove.
• While lemon mixture in cooking, whisk eggs in separate bowl. When lemon mixture has come to a boil temper with the eggs slowly, continuously whisking. This will prevent eggs from curdling. The mixture will thicken quickly. Once it is thick, remove from heat to avoid overcooking. Add remaining butter to lemon custard. Remove custard from pot into plastic container. Cover with plastic wrap to prevent a skin to form, and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• To assemble: Take a cookie and place in center of plate. Heat spoon with hot water, and scoop custard onto cookie. To garnish add lemon zest and finely chopped olives.

DOUBLE-SIDED SUGAR COOKIES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Add the butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla to a large bowl. Beat with an electric hand mixer on low speed until smooth and creamy.
• Add the eggs 1 at a time and beat on medium speed to incorporate, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a spatula halfway through.
• Add the salt and incorporate the flour in 3 additions, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until a dough forms.
• Turn the dough out onto a clean, floured surface and form into a ball. Cut the ball of dough in half. Cut one of the halves in half, and the other half into thirds, so you have 5 pieces total. Take one of the larger pieces and cover the rest with plastic wrap so they don't dry out.
• Wearing gloves, add the yellow food coloring and knead into the dough until fully incorporated. Cover and set aside each piece of dough after working the color in. Dye the other large piece with red food coloring. Set aside one of the smaller pieces to remain plain. Remove a 1-tablespoon chunk from 1 of the 2 remaining pieces and dye with black food coloring. Dye the rest of that piece blue. Dye the remaining piece of dough green.
• Roll out 1 tablespoon of the the plain dough into a 6-inch-long (15-cm) rope. Roll the rest into a 6-inch-long (15-cm) log and cut crosswise into thirds. Shape the logs into 6-inch-long (15-cm) triangle wedges.
• Roll a third of the red dough into a 6-inch-long (15-cm) triangle wedge.
• Roll the blue piece into a 6-inch-long (15-cm) triangle wedge. Roll half of the green dough into a 6-inch-long (15-cm) triangle wedge.
• Form a beach ball shape by placing the plain rope in the middle and alternating the plain dough triangle wedges with the colored triangle wedges. Roll together to fuse, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes while you assemble the other shape.
• Roll the remaining red dough into a 6-inch-long (15-cm) log, then shape into a triangle wedge.
• Roll the remaining green dough into a 6-inch-long (15-cm) log, then flatten.
• Place the red triangle on top and trim the edges with a bench scraper or knife.
• Cut the yellow dough in half. Set aside one half, then cut the other half in half again and roll into 2 6-inch-long (15-cm) logs and flatten slightly. Place the yellow pieces over each exposed side of the red dough, then pinch the yellow and green dough together to completely cover the red. Roll together to fuse, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Use a ruler and a knife to score ¼-inch (6 mm) marks across both chilled logs. Cut into slices with a sharp knife, cleaning the knife after each slice, if necessary.
• Roll out the rest of the yellow dough to make a 6-inch (15-cm) by 12-inch (30-cm) rectangle.
• Build a single dough log by stacking alternating strawberry slices and beach ball slices over the center of the yellow dough. Wrap the yellow dough around the log, roll together to fuse, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 300˚F (150˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Use a ruler and a knife to score ¼-inch (6 mm) marks across the chilled dough. Cut into slices with a sharp knife, cleaning the knife after each slice, if necessary. Each slice should have a beach ball side and a strawberry side.
• Set the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, strawberry-side up. Break off tiny pieces of the black dough, roll into seeds, and press onto the strawberries.
• Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or just until they begin to start turning golden brown. Cool on a wire rack for 5-10 minutes before serving.
• Enjoy!

TWICE BAKED COOKIES

Steps:

• preheat oven to 180C. Snap Chocolate into a bowl over a pan of simmering water. Melt chocolate, do not stir. Once melted turn the heat off
• In a mixing bowl cream the butter and sugar until smooth. Break the eggs into a another bowl and break up using a fork. Add vanilla extract to the eggs and combine. Then add egg mixture to the butter cream stirring gently.
• Add the melted chocolate to the mixture and continue to mix. Now fold in half of the flour measurement gradually until well combined. You should get a very thick mixture. If still quite smooth and runny and more flour. The mixture has to be thick enough to pick up with your hands but not doughy.
• Line a tray with baking paper. Place large spoonfuls of the mixture onto the tray. Don't be tempted to flatten the mixture as they will do so in the oven.
• Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until they start to harden on top but still gooey in the middle. Take out, and leave to cool slightly, around 5 minutes. It is important to keep an eye on your cookies at this stage. They need to be still gooey in the middle so you can re-mould them in the next stage.
• Once slightly cooled, with your hands re-mould the cookies into patties. This part is quite messy but cookies will form new tidy patties!
• Place the cookies back into the oven, and bake for another 5-10 minutes. Until the cookies start to split on top, but still soft in the middle.
• Leave to cool for 5-10 minutes or so. Remove from the tray and place on a wire rack. Serve and enjoy with a nice cup of tea :)
