Recently, we participated in a great benefit fundraiser for two local families, including my sweet friend Misty McElhannon, and in addition to helping out in the kitchen, I contributed two "baskets" for the silent auction portion of the evening. One basket was a "Bake Sale" basket full of goodies you might find at a bake sale and the second basket was a "Chocolate Lovers" basket full of chocolate goodies. I promised some of my long-distance friends (and a few locals who didn't win the baskets!) that I'd post the recipes from those baskets in case anyone wanted to recreate something from them. Here are the recipes, along with my notes in some cases. Some of the recipes are my own creations and some are from other sources which I hope I've appropriately noted. I'll list the basket contents first, then post the recipes... Enjoy!
1 dozen sugar cookies on a stick
1 dozen Peanut butter cookie Candy Bars
1 bag caramel corn
2 mini banana bread loaves
1 dozen Pecan Pie brownies
1 dozen oatmeal raisin cookies
Chocolate Lover's Basket:

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 sticks unsalted butter -- softened
1 cup confectioner's sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract -- or 2 drops "Princess" flavoring
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
Cream butter and sugar in mixer for 2 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add egg and blend well. Add extract/flavoring and blend. Mix flour and salt together in a separate bowl and gradually add to creamed mixture. Put dough into a gallon size Ziploc bag and chill for about 2 hours. Working with about 1/3 of the dough at a time, briefly knead and roll about 1/8-1/4" thick. Cut out shapes. Bake cut out cookies on parchment lined baking trays at 375 for 12-14 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before removing to cooling rack to completely cool.
Note: You can also freeze this dough. After mixing, put dough in a gallon size Freezer ziploc bag and freeze. Thaw overnight or for at least a few hours in the refrigerator in the ziploc bag. If too chilled to handle, let sit at room temperature for 30 min-1 hour until workable. Chilled is good so don't let it get too mushy before rolling. If dough is sticky, put back in fridge until re-chilled before trying to roll again.

12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons Tia Maria
1/2 cup powdered sugar -- or cocoa powder, ground nuts, sprinkles, etc for topping
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate, butter and heavy cream. Heat until chocolate is melted, stirring every 30 seconds (about 2 minutes total). Stir until you have a smooth mixture.
Whisk in vanilla and Tia Maria. Pour into a shallow glass pie dish or shallow casserole and cool to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 2 hours or until firm enough to roll. If refrigerating longer than two hours, the mixture will be hard to work with, so allow the mixture to sit at room temperature until pliable enough to work with.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small scoop (2 teaspoons) or a melon baller, scoop out chocolate mixture, roll into one inch balls, and place on prepared baking sheet. Plastic or latex gloves work well for this. Continue with remaining chocolate mixture. Roll balls in your desired coating. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup all purpose flour

1 cup confectioner’s sugar
For the Chocolate Ganache Glaze:

Preheat oven to 350F. Butter the bottom and sides of a 8 inch metal baking pan. Put a long piece of parchment paper in the bottom of the pan, letting the parchment extend up two sides of the pan and overhang slightly on both ends.

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar and vanilla extract. Add chocolate mixture and stir until smooth. Add flour and baking soda and stir until just combined and no streaks of dry ingredients remain.
Spread into prepared baking pan. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
For the filling, in a small bowl combine cream and coffee granules. Stir until the coffee is dissolved.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and confectioners sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in coffee mixture. Spread over brownies.
For the chocolate ganache, in a small saucepan over low heat combine chocolate and heavy cream. Cook and stir until chocolate is melted and mixture is thickened. Cool slightly. Carefully spread over filling. Let chocolate gancahe set up completely before cutting.

NOTES : A lot of people have had problems with this recipe, but here's what worked for me... First of all, use "generic" cookies or Hydrox brand as they have more "fat" than traditional Oreos. Next, make sure to grind the cookies to a very fine crumb, almost a powder, before adding the pecans, then add the nuts and make sure to grind again to a fine crumb before adding remaining ingredients. When forming balls, make sure to SQUEEZE the mixture into balls as this will cause the fat in the cookies and nuts to release, making the mixture moist enough to stick together.

Chocolate Chubbies
Recipe By :Caroline Russock
Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Chocolate cookies

holiday sweets
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
8 tablespoons unsalted butter -- (1 stick) cut into 1/2-inch cubes
9 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate -- (no more than 62 percent cacao) finely chopped
3 ounces unsweetened chocolate -- finely chopped
1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
3 large eggs -- at room temperature
1 1/4 cups superfine sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips -- (12 ounces)
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped pecans -- (5 1/2 ounces)
1 1/4 cups coarsely chopped walnuts -- (4 1/2 ounces)
Position racks in the center and top third of the oven and preheat to 350°F. Line two half-sheet pans with parchment paper.
Bring 1 inch of water to a simmer in a medium saucepan over low heat. Put the butter in a wide, heatproof bowl, and melt the butter over the hot water in the saucepan. Add the semisweet and unsweetened chocolate, stirring often, until melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove the bowl from the heat and let stand, stirring occasionally, until cooled slightly but still warm, about 5 minutes.
Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together into a medium bowl. Whip the eggs in the bowl of a heavy-duty stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on medium-high speed until the eggs are foamy and lightly thickened, about 30 seconds. Increase the speed to high and gradually add the sugar, then the vanilla. Whip until the eggs are very thick and pale yellow, about 3 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to medium and beat in the tepid chocolate, making sure it is completely incorporated. Change to the paddle attachment and reduce the mixer speed to low. Gradually add the flour mixture. Remove the bowl from the mixer. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the chocolate chips, pecans, and walnuts, making sure the chunky ingredients are evenly distributed at the bottom of the bowl. The dough will be somewhat soft.
Using a 2-inch ice-cream scoop, portion the batter onto the prepared pans, placing the cookies about 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake the cookies immediately—if you wait, they won’t be shiny after baking. Bake, switching the position of the pans from top to bottom and front to back about halfway through baking, until the cookies are set around the edges (if you lift a cookie from the pan, the edges should release easily, even if the center of the cookie seems underdone), 17 to 20 minutes. Do not overbake. Cool completely on the baking pans.
Note: The cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature, with the layers separated by parchment paper, for up to 3 days.)
