Sour Cream Fudge Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Butter an 8 inch square baking dish, and set aside. In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, sour cream, corn syrup and butter. Bring to a boil; cover and cook one minute. Stir until well blended. Remove the lid, and without stirring, heat to between 234 and 240 degrees F (112 to 116 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface.
• Remove from the heat, and add the chocolate and vanilla. Do not stir. Set the pan over a wire rack until the mixture cools to about 175 degrees F (80 degrees C). This should take about 15 minutes.
• Beat the fudge with a wooden spoon until it thickens and loses its gloss. Stir in walnuts, and pour into the buttered dish. Spread evenly, then set aside to cool. Cut into small squares.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Grease 3 (10-inch) cake pans with the 2 teaspoons of the butter. Line each with parchment paper and butter with 1/2 teaspoon butter. Set aside.
• Place the cocoa in a bowl and slowly add the hot coffee, whisking until smooth. Set aside and cool.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the sour cream and vanilla. Whisk in the cooled coffee mixture.
• Sift the flour, baking soda, and baking powder together onto a sheet of waxed paper or into a bowl.
• In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, cream the remaining pound butter and the sugar. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. On low speed, add the flour mixture alternately with the coffee-sour cream mixture. Beat until glossy.
• Divide the batter among the 3 prepared pans. Bake a cake tester comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely in the pans on a wire rack.
• Remove the cakes from the pans and peel off the parchment paper. Using a long serrated knife, trim off the rounded top from each to make a flat surface. Place the first cake layer on a cake plate or stand. Spread about 1 1/2 cups of the chocolate icing across the top, out to the edge of the cake, and sprinkle with about 3/4 cup crushed butter toffee. Repeat with the second layer and another 1 1/2 cups icing and 3/4 cup crushed toffee. Place the third layer upside-down on top. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining icing, and press the remaining crushed toffee onto the sides and top of the cake. Serve.
• Combine the cream, butter, cocoa, and corn syrup in a large saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Remove from the heat.
• Put the chopped chocolate in a large bowl. Add the hot cream mixture and let sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Add the vanilla and almond extracts and whisk to blend. Cover and refrigerate until needed. (The icing will keep refrigerated for up to 3 days.)
• Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
• Combine the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cream in a medium heavy saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves. Continue to cook until the mixture reaches 300 degrees F, or the hard-crack stage (a drop of boiling syrup immersed in cold water crackles).
• Remove from the heat, add the vanilla, and stir. Pour onto the prepared sheet and let cool completely.
• Crack the toffee into large shards with a rolling pin. Place the pieces in a large deep pot and break into smaller pieces with the end of the rolling pin. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 325F.
• 2. Sift togeather the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder into a bowl. Whisk the mixture and set it aside.
• 3. Melt the semisweet and unsweetened chocolate in a double boiler or in a bowl placed over a pot of simmering water. Cool to room temperature and set aside.
• 4. In the bowl of an electric mixer using the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugars togeather on medium speed for 1 to 2 minites, or until the mixture becomes somewhat light.
• 5. On low speed, add the eggs, one at a time, incorporating each one well before adding the next. Stop the machine occasionally and scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• 6. With the machine still on low speed, slowly add the cooled melted chocolate and blend well. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the sour cream and vanilla extract, blending well.
• 7. On low speed, add the flour and cocoa mixture and blend only until combined. Remove the bowl from the electric mixer and, using a rubber spatula, blend in the chocolate chips by hand.
• 8. Using a 1 ounce ice cream or cookie scoop, place scoopfuls of batter onto a sheet pan covered with parchment paper; pace each scoop 3 inches apart. With a moistened hand, flatten each cookie slightly. Bake for about 18 minites. The fudge cookies with be soft, but will firm up when they cool. Allow the cookies to cool on the sheetpan for 5 minutes before removing and placeing them on cooling racks.

• 4. *nuts- my favorite is pistachios, then pecans, my dads favorite is walnuts and my grandma's favorite is black walnuts...so the choice is yours! *I've added dried cherries to this before, add with the nuts. *Also, I've used light sour cream and it's turned out just fine. *Also, when time to beat, I use a hand held electric mixer, my mom has always beat by hand, so either method works just fine, though if using a mixer, it cools much faster, so watch it closely as you want to pour it as soon as it starts to loose it's gloss. If you wait to long it will harden and you won't be able to pour it, let alone spread it in the pan. :)
