BROOKE'S CINNAMON ROLL COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. In medium bowl, mix Cookie ingredients with fork until soft dough forms. On lightly floured surface, roll out dough with rolling pin until about 1/4-inch thickness.
• In small bowl, stir together Cinnamon-Sugar ingredients. Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar evenly over cookie dough. Roll up dough into tight spiral; cut into 1-inch slices. Place on ungreased cookie sheets.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until set. Remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool while making icing.
• In another small bowl, stir together Icing ingredients until smooth, adding enough milk for piping consistency. Spoon icing into resealable food-storage plastic bag. Seal bag; cut off tiny bottom corner of bag. Pipe icing over top of each cookie. Let icing set until firm before serving or storing.

BROOKE'S BEST BOMBSHELL BROWNIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish.
• Combine the melted butter, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each, until thoroughly blended.
• Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a bowl. Gradually stir flour mixture into the egg mixture until blended. Stir in the chocolate morsels. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in preheated oven until an inserted toothpick comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove, and cool pan on wire rack before cutting.

BROOKE'S ULTIMATE SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• Cream sugar and butter. Mix in egg and flavorings.
• Blend dry ingredients and stir into creamed mixture.
• Refrigerate 2 or 3 hours.
• Heat oven to 375*.
• Divide dough in half and roll out on lightly floured board 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into shapes. Sprinkle with plain or colored sugar -- or use the Royal Icing recipe below. Place on lightly greased baking sheet. Bake 7 to 8 minutes or until golden brown. Makes 5 dozen 2 to 2 1/2 inch cookies.
• ROYAL ICING.
• In a microwave-safe bowl (I use a pyrex measuring cup) stir together until combined:.
• 2 large egg whites.
• 1 1/3 cups powdered sugar.
• Microwave on high 1 1/2 to 2 min until mixture is bubbly or it reaches 160°F
• Then add mixture to another 1 1/3 cups of powdered sugar and beat with an electric mixer at high speed (adding food coloring if desired while still runny) until the icing is cool and stiff peaks form when the beatersa re lifted out of the bowl.
• Keep a damp dishtowel over the bowl as you're working so it doesn't dry out -- and of you feel its getting too stiff, add a little water and stir or beat again -- its super easy to work with (I usually do mine with it the consistency of paint so it dries smooth on top) HAVE FUN!
