I am baking a lot of cookies and one of my latest cookie categories are my “Coffee House Cookies” – large and delicious cookies you probably all know from coffee shops like Starbucks. Today I will introduce a new cookie category with even larger cookies: my XXL Monster Cookies! ;) First entry for the category is the Caramel Stuffed Monster Cookie with Marshmallows, Chocolate, and Snickers on top! ;)
These cookies are massive. Not only in size but also when it comes to sugar and fat and calories in general – so be warned! Do not eat them all at once. These are the perfect cookies to share! Not only giving friends a cookie but to actually share one cookie. You will still have enough cookie if you share a cookie with 1-2 of your friends ;)
Why are you making such cookies, if they are not “good for your health with all that sugar and fat?” – well… I think cookies were not invented to be a healthy snack ;) They are sweets and with all kinds of sweets, you have to keep in mind that you should not eat too much of it. Same for these giant cookies. They are definitely made to share. And sharing is caring, right? ;)
I am kidding – I hope you know that. The cookies are really delicious and fun to make but do not eat them all alone. Share! That’s all ;) If you want to eat them all by yourself, make sure to get out with your dog and run some extra miles…
Did I mention you should share your cookies with friends and family?! ;))
INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN
For the dough:
1 cup (230g) butter
1 cup (200g) sugar
1 cup (200g) brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tbsp. yogurt
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
2 1/2 cups (320g) all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 cup (120g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup (80g) white chocolate chips
For the stuffing/topping:
10-12 tsp. dulce de leche or caramel
8-9 mini snickers, chopped
some mini marshmallows
some chocolate, chopped
Für den Teig:
230g Butter
200g Zucker
200g brauner Zucker
1 1/2 TL Vanille Extrakt
1 EL Joghurt
1 Ei (L)
1 Eigelb (L)
320g Mehl (Type 405)
1/2 TL Backpulver
1/4 TL Salz
120g Zartbitter Schokoladendrops
80g weiße Schokoladendrops
Für die Füllung/Topping:
10-12 TL Dulce de leche oder Karamell
8-9 Mini Snickers, gehackt
ein paar Mini-Marshmallows
etwas Schokolade, gehackt
DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG
2. When the melted butter has cooled, add the sugars to the bowl and mix until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract, yogurt, egg, and egg yolk and mix until light well combined. Mix the flour with baking powder, and salt – add to the bowl and mix in until just combined. Add the chocolate chips and fold in. Place the dough in the fridge for about 2 hours.
3. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and set aside. Take about 2 1/2-3 tablespoons of dough per cookie, make a ball and flatten it in your hands. Place a teaspoon of the dulce de leche/caramel in the center of that dough round, then fold the edges over the filling and seal it in completely. Form a ball again and place it on the baking sheet. Do not put more than 4 dough balls on one baking sheet – the cookies spread a lot! Press snickers pieces, marshmallows and chopped chocolate into the cookies and bake for 12-14 minutes until the cookies are spread out and the edges have browned a bit. Take out of the oven and let cool down on the baking sheet until you can remove them, then let cool down completely on a wire rack. Repeat with the remaining dough.
2. Sobald die Butter nur noch handwarm ist, die beiden Zuckersorten dazugeben und alles hell und luftig aufschlagen. Vanille Extrakt, Joghurt, Ei und Eigelb dazugeben und gut unterrühren. Das Mehl mit Backpulver und Salz vermischen und dann zur Schüssel dazugeben und nur kurz unterrühren. Die Schokoladendrops dazugeben und unterheben. Den Teig dann für etwa 2 Stunden in den Kühlschrank stellen.
3. Den Ofen auf 180°C (350°F) vorheizen. Ein Backblech mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen. Für einen Cookie etwa 2 1/2-3 Esslöffel Teig nehmen und in der Hand zu einer flachen Scheibe formen. In die Mitte einen Teelöffel des Dulce de Leche/Karamell geben und dann mit dem Teig umschließen, so daß nichts herauskommen kann. Die Teigkugel auf das Blech setzen und dann noch drei weitere Cookies füllen und mit Abstand auf das Blech setzen. Mehr als vier Cookies pro Blech sind nicht zu empfehlen, weil sie sehr auseinander laufen. In die Teigkugeln Snickers Stücke, Marshmallows und gehackte Schokolade drücken und dann für 12-14 Minuten backen. Die Ränder der Cookies sollten etwas Farbe bekommen haben. Aus dem Ofen nehmen und auf dem Blech so lange abkühlen lassen, bis die Cookies bewegt werden können und dann auf einem Kuchengitter komplett auskühlen lassen. Mit dem restlichen Teig wiederholen bis alles aufgebraucht ist.
