BROWNIE COOKIES

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Combine 6 ounces chopped chocolate and the butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 45-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted, about 2 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Meanwhile, combine the eggs and sugar in a large bowl and beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until very thick and pale, about 5 minutes. Stir the espresso powder and vanilla in a small bowl, then beat into the egg mixture.
• Beat the warm chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour mixture until combined. Beat in the remaining 2 ounces chopped chocolate; finish mixing with a rubber spatula (the dough will be soft).
• Drop mounds of dough (1 1/2 tablespoons each) about 2 inches apart on the prepared pans. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are just set around the edges and the tops are puffed and cracked, 10 to 14 minutes. Let cool completely on the pans.

LEMON-WHITE CHOCOLATE BROWNIES

Steps:

• Make the brownie layer: Preheat the oven to 350˚. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the two short sides; lightly butter the foil. Melt the butter and white chocolate in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring often, until smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in the granulated sugar, eggs and vanilla. Stir in the flour, salt and baking powder until smooth. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
• Bake until the brownies are lightly browned on top and softly set in the middle, about 25 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the lemon layer: Whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, lemon juice and flour in a large bowl until smooth. Pour over the hot brownies. Return to the oven and bake until the lemon layer is set, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely in the pan.
• Lift the brownies out of the pan using the foil overhang. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Cut into pieces, then decorate with yellow candies.

BONNIE'S AMARETTI COOKIES

Steps:

• Line three baking sheets with Silpat baking mats.
• Grind almonds with granulated sugar in the bowl of a food processor until fine. Transfer to a medium bowl. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Add almond extract. Gently stir egg-white mixture into almond mixture to form a thick paste.
• Drop dough in rounded teaspoons onto prepared baking sheets about 1 1/2 inches apart. Dust with confectioners' sugar, and let stand at room temperature to dry for 2 hours.
• Place rack in center of oven, and preheat oven to 300 degrees. Transfer sheets to oven, and bake amaretti until edges are golden and cookies are firm, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Repeat with remaining cookie dough.

BONNIE'S BEST SUGAR COOKIES

Roll rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into balls, and place onto ungreased cookie sheets. My photo shows cookies scooped with a #40 food scoop. larger cookies need to have you squish them with a glass or cup so they are about halfway flattened.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden. Let stand on cookie sheet two minutes before removing to cool on wire racks.
