recipe\\\baking contest

i had a class so i missed the judging of the contest but  i heard that the contest didn't really happen because the baked goods had been finished off far too quickly; i guess it was a draw then ;)  i made

a) something with only chocolate chips - chocolate chip cookies using a recipe

b) something without chocolate - soft & thick snickerdoodles (i stole a recipe)

c) something with fruit - gooey chocolate-chip sandwich bars

d) free choice - peanut butter and oreo brownie

it was funny because that night while i was baking i got ghosted.  in our neighborhood, ghosting runs a bit differently (but only with friends/people that we know well).  so the doorbell rung around 9 and i was in the middle of baking.  my brother runs out to get the candy and as soon as he stepped outside splash he got shot with water guns.  suddenly, i hear the click of a loading airsoft gun.  he sprints back inside with the bag of candy and he notifies me.  i take off my apron and look around for weapons...sadly we don't own airsoft or water guns.  i desperately look around and the carton of eggs sitting on the counter catch my eye.  i quietly hand one to my brother and i take one.  lacing together my sneakers i slip quietly out the side door while my brother creates a diversion.

'on three' he hissed to me.  we sprint around the corner and there was our attackers.  he smashed his egg into the sweater of one kid and i threw and i heard the muffled crack of my egg hitting something.  i had thought i missed and had only hit the wall.  it was not until the next time i talked to the poor kid before he told me that i nailed him. oops :)

anyways, what i wanted to say was that i got back inside after cleaning egg shells and drippings alike for a solid 30 minutes. it was about 23:15 when i came back in to do more baking.  i finished making the snickerdoodles and chocolate chip cookies around 2. i don' what idiocy hit me when i decided that it would be a good idea to try out a new snickerdoodle recipe they turned out decent because i got them off of Sally's Baking Addiction who is, like, the best baker, ever :P  check out her recipes, she has so many wonderful ones.

my go-to chocolate chunk cookie recipe is from her website with a bit of tweaking and making it over and over again.  my go-to chocolate chip cookie recipe used to be nestle's but recently i've been making sally's more.

two down.  i couldn't decide what to make next so i decided to go with everyone's favorite.  peanut butter covered oreos baked into brownies.  mine turned out a little dry because i hadn't made them recently and i didn't really know the baking time.  broken down it is basically oreos lathered in peanut butter baked into brownies.  to make them it is fairly simple.  it was fairly late, i apologize for not taking pictures.

~peanut butter & oreo brownies~

+brownie batter (i used my super moist brownie recipe)

+12 oreos

+peanut butter

+muffin tin and paper if you want

preheat the oven to 350 deg.

prepare your brownie batter and split into two parts.  then fill a dozen muffin tins about 1/3 and bake for approximately 3 minutes.

while the batter is baking lather each oreo with about 1 T. of peanut butter.

after three minutes take out the tins and place each oreo into a container.  cover with remaining brownie batter.

finally bake slightly less then brownie recipe time because mine came out dry when i baked full time.  insert a toothpick and if it comes out clean, it is done.

I'll post the rest of my recipes later.... :)

here's a sneak peak ^_^
