COPYCAT BERGER COOKIES
After a friend who had recently traveled to Baltimore sent me a package of Berger cookies, I was hooked. They disappeared so quickly, I decided to try to re-create them at home. After many tests and tweaks, my husband and I gained 6 pounds between the two of us, but it was worth it-I landed on a reproduction of the famous cookie I'm so proud of. -Marina Castle Kelley, Canyon Country, California

BALTIMORE'S BERGER FINEST COOKIES
Baltimore's storied Berger cookies, a product of that city's DeBaufre Bakeries, are a close relation to New York City's Black and Whites (a.k.a. Half and Halfs). These cake-like, jumbo-sized cookies are piled with thick, rich chocolate icing-the thicker the better, up to ½" of icing atop each ½"-thick cookie. Note that the cookies themselves are rather dry, so the over-the-top amount of icing-rather than being too much-ends up being just right.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F
- Lightly grease (or line with parchment) two baking sheets.
- To make the cookies: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, salt, vanilla, and baking powder.
- Beat in the sugar, then the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Add the flour to the wet ingredients alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour.
- Do this gently; there's no need to beat the batter.
- Using a muffin scoop, or a 1/4-cup measure, drop the dough onto the prepared cookie sheets.
- Flatten each mound of dough to a circle about 3" across; wet your fingers or a knife, or grease the bottom of a drinking glass or measuring cup to do this. Leave 2" to 2 ½" between each cookie, for expansion.
- Bake the cookies for about 11 minutes, or until they're a mottled brown on the bottom (carefully tilt one up to look), but not colored on top.
- You may see the barest hint of browning around the edges, but these cookies are supposed to be soft and cake-like, so don't over-bake them. Cool the cookies on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a rack to cool completely.
- To make the icing: Place the chocolate chips, baking chocolate, corn syrup, butter, and cream into a large microwave-safe bowl, or into a large saucepan.
- Heat the mixture till it's very hot; the cream will start to form bubbles.
- Remove from the heat, and stir until smooth.
- Let cool to room temperature; this will take at least a couple of hours, so plan accordingly.
- When completely cool, beat with an electric mixer for 6 to 7 minutes, until the icing lightens in color just a bit, and thickens just slightly.
- Spread each cookie with a generous 3 tablespoons icing (about 42g, about 1 1/2 ounces), leaving ¼" bare around the outside edge of each cookie.
- A heaped tablespoon cookie scoop works very well here.
- It'll feel like you're piling on a lot of icing; that's precisely the point!
- Allow to set, then store airtight in a single layer.
- Yield: 2 dozen 3 ½" cookies.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease (or line with parchment paper) two baking sheets. To make the cookies: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, salt, vanilla, and baking powder. Beat in the sugar, then the egg. Add the flour to the wet ingredients alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour. Do this gently; there's no need to beat the batter. Using a spoon or a tablespoon cookie scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared cookie sheets. The balls of dough should be about 1 1/4-inch in diameter. Flatten each mound of dough to a circle about 1 1/2-inch across; wet your fingers or a knife, or grease the bottom of a drinking glass or measuring cup to do this. Leave 2-inches; to 2 1/2-inches between each cookie, for expansion. Bake the cookies for about 10 to 11 minutes, or until they?re a mottled brown on the bottom (carefully tilt one up to look), but not colored on top. You may see the barest hint of browning around the edges, but these cookies are supposed to be soft and cake-like, so don't over-bake them. Remove the cookies from the oven, and let them cool right on the pan as you make the frosting. To make the icing: Place the chocolate chips, corn syrup, vanilla, and cream into a large microwave-safe bowl, or into a large saucepan. Heat the mixture until it's very hot; the cream will start to form bubbles. Remove from the heat, and stir until smooth. Beat in the confectioners' sugar. Let cool to warm room temperature while you make the cookies. Dip the top of each cookie into the warm icing; swirl the cookie around to really give it a good coating. Set the cookies back on the baking sheet. Spread the remaining icing evenly atop the cookies. If it's too soft and flows off the cookies, let it set a bit, until it's firmer. It'll feel like you're piling on a lot of icing; that?s precisely the point! Allow it to set, then store the cookies airtight in a single layer. Keep at room temperature for several days; or freeze for longer storage.
