Mudslide Cupcakes

Same recipe I used for the other mixed drink cupcakes. Except I used the TGiFriday's Mudslide mix and added about 8oz of the mix in place of the fruit concentrate

Chocolate Chip Cookies

I so did not have enough chocolate chips for I threw in some butterscotch chips and pecans to make up the difference.

I got the recipe from A Passion for Baking by Marcy Goldman

Tender, Buttery Chocolate Chunk Cookies

yield: 3-4 dozen

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar

1/2 cup white sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

2 large eggs

2 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoons salt

3 cups chocolate chips (or any other "garnish")

Preheat oven to 350F

In a mixer bowl, cream butter and both sugars until very smooth, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add vanilla and eggs blend well. Fold in flour, baking soda, and salt and mix well about 2 to 3 minutes. Fold in the chocolate chips

Bake for 10-13 minutes for smaller cookies and 14-18 minutes for larger cookies.

I like using ice cream scoops, I have a I think a 3 Tablespoon one I love it!

Donuts

Its from Betty Crocker....

vegetable oil (for frying)

3 1/2 c flour

1 c sugar

3/4 c milk

2 T shortening (I used butter)

3 t baking powder

1/2 t salt

1/2 t cinnamon

1/4 t nutmeg

2 ea. eggs

Heat oil (2 to 3 inches) in deep fryer or Dutch oven to 375F Beat 1.5 cups of the flour and the remaining ingredients in 1.5-quart bowl on low speed, scraping bowl constantly, 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally, 2 minutes. Stir in remaining flour. Turn the dough onto generously floured cloth-covered board; roll around lightly to coat with flour. Gently roll 3/8 inch thick Cut with floured doughnut cutter. Slide doughnuts into hot oil with wide spatula. Turn doughnuts as they rise to surface. Fry until golden brown, 1 to 1.5 minutes on each side. Remove carefully from oil (do not prick surfaces); drain. Serve plain or shake one at a time in a bag with powdered sugar.

For the chocolate frosted one I metaled some chocolate and butter and spread it on the donuts and then dipped them into chocolate sprinkles.
