Four Flavor Sheet Pan Cobbler Food

FOUR-FLAVOR SHEET PAN HOLIDAY COOKIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a 13-by-18-inch sheet pan with cooking spray. Line with a piece of parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on each of the short sides.
• Make the chocolate-peanut butter cookie: Mix 1 tube of the sugar cookie dough with the powdered peanut butter and 2 tablespoons of the cocoa powder in a medium bowl until completely combined. Fold in 1 cup of the chocolate-peanut butter candies, reserving the rest for topping.
• Arrange the sheet pan with a long side facing you. Visualize the pan divided into 4 equal vertical strips. Press the chocolate-peanut butter cookie dough down the far left stripe. Sprinkle with the sanding sugar.
• Make the snickerdoodle cookie: Mix the remaining tube of sugar cookie dough with 1/4 teaspoon of the cinnamon in a medium bowl until completely combined.
• Press the snickerdoodle cookie dough in a stripe down the section next to the chocolate-peanut butter cookie dough. Mix the granulated sugar with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and sprinkle it over the snickerdoodle cookie dough.
• Make the chocolate-chocolate chip cookie: Mix 1 tube of the chocolate chip cookie dough with the remaining 2 tablespoons cocoa powder in a medium bowl until well combined. Fold in 1/4 cup of the candy-coated chocolates.
• Press the chocolate-chocolate chip cookie dough in a stripe down the section next to the snickerdoodle cookie dough. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup candy-coated chocolates.
• Make the chocolate chip cookie: Press the remaining tube of chocolate chip cookie dough down the remaining quarter of the sheet pan. Press the milk chocolate toffee and cookie crunch squares into the dough, making 5 rows of 2.
• Bake the cookie until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of each type of cookie comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool on a rack for 5 minutes.
• While the cookie is still warm, top the chocolate-peanut butter cookie with the remaining chopped chocolate-peanut butter candies. Press the snickerdoodle white chocolate truffle halves all over the snickerdoodle cookie. Top the chocolate-chocolate chip cookie with the marshmallows and sprinkle the chocolate chip cookie with the snowflake sprinkles. Allow to cool completely in the pan, about 1 hour.
• Use the parchment overhangs to lift the cookie from the pan, then cut into squares.

SHEET PAN PETIT FOURS

Steps:

• For the cake: Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat an 18-by-13-inch sheet pan with nonstick baking spray. Line the bottom with parchment. Set aside.
• Beat the eggs, sugar, baking powder and salt in a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment on high speed until the mixture is pale and very thick (enough to hold a wake from the whisk), about 10 minutes (see Cook's Note). Reduce the speed to medium-high and drizzle in the butter and vanilla until just combined, about 10 seconds. Reduce the speed to low and add the sifted flour all at once. Beat until just combined, about 5 seconds. Gently fold the batter once or twice using a rubber spatula, then scrape it into the prepared sheet pan. Spread it evenly using the spatula, using broad, gentle strokes to keep the batter airy.
• Bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until the top is lightly golden, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool in the sheet pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack and cool completely.
• Punch out about 80 mini cakes using a 1 1/2-inch-diameter round cookie cutter. (Store the scraps in an airtight container and enjoy as a snack.)
• For the ganache: Bring the cream to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Place the white chocolate in the bowl of a stand mixer and pour the hot cream over it. Stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth using a heatproof rubber spatula. Mix in enough food coloring until the desired color is achieved. Place the bowl in the refrigerator until cooled, about 20 minutes. Return to the stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment and whip on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
• Put the ganache in a pastry bag fitted with a medium round tip. Pipe 1 heaping teaspoon of ganache onto half the cake rounds. Top each with the remaining cake rounds. Pipe the top of each cake with 1 heaping teaspoon of ganache, then top with a pinch of sprinkles.
• Serve immediately or store in an airtight container up to 1 day.

FOUR-FLAVOR SHEET PAN PIE

Steps:

• For the crusts: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Unroll 3 of the pie crusts on a lightly floured work surface. Stack them on top of each other. Roll out the thick, layered dough to a 15-by-21-inch rectangle. Press into a rimmed baking sheet so that the crust comes up the sides and hangs over slightly. This will be the bottom crust. Chill until ready to use, at least 30 minutes.
• Use the remaining crust for the top of the pie. Unroll it on a lightly floured work surface and roll it to a 14-by-18-inch rectangle. Cut the dough in half so you have two 7-by-9-inch pieces. One half will be the top crust for the apple portion of the pie. Cut the other half into 1-inch diagonal strips to use for the lattice on the cherry pie. Place the rectangle and strips on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill until ready to use.
• For the apple pie: Toss the apples in a medium bowl with the sugar and lemon juice. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the apples and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the flour, cinnamon and a pinch of salt and cook until thickened, about 1 minute more. Cool completely.
• For the sour cherry pie: Place the cherries in a medium bowl. Whisk 1/4 cup cherry juice with the cornstarch in a small saucepan until completely smooth. Add the remaining cherry juice and sugar and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook, whisking constantly, until thick and glossy, about 30 seconds. Pour the sauce over the cherries and gently fold to combine. Cool completely.
• For the pumpkin pie: Whisk together the pumpkin, evaporated milk, sugar, pumpkin pie spice and the egg and in a medium bowl until smooth. Set aside.
• For the pecan pie: Whisk together the brown sugar, corn syrup, butter, vanilla, eggs and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl until smooth. Fold in the pecans and set aside.
• Once all fillings are made, begin assembling the pie. Remove both baking sheets with dough from the refrigerator.
• Visualize the sheet pan is divided in half lengthwise and then crosswise so you have 4 equal quadrants. Each quadrant will hold a different pie filling. Prick the bottom crust all over with a fork.
• Add the pie fillings in this order: Add the apple pie filling to the upper left quadrant of the crust; spread it to cover a 7-by-9-inch rectangle. Moving counter clockwise, pour the pumpkin filling right under the apple pie filling and spread it the same size as the apple filling. Spread out the cherry filling next to the pumpkin filling. Fill the top right empty space with the pecan filling.
• Cover the apple pie quadrant with the reserved rectangle of dough. Lay the pie strips out diagonally over the cherry pie quadrant. Press any remaining strips of dough around the edge of the pie to thicken the rim. Crimp the edge of the pie, making sure to incorporate and crimp together the dough from the apple quadrant. Brush the edges and the dough on top of the pie with egg and sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Cut decorative slits in the apple pie crust.
• Bake until all pies are set and the crust on the apple pie and cherry pie is golden brown and crisp, 55 minutes to 1 hour 5 minutes.

RED, WHITE AND BLUE SHEET PAN COBBLER

Steps:

• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the filling: Combine the blueberries, sugar, lemon zest and juice, vanilla, cornstarch and salt in a large bowl and toss to coat. Transfer the mixture to a 9-by-13-inch rimmed sheet pan and set aside.
• For the biscuit topping: Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and 1 tablespoon of the sesame seeds in a large bowl. Add the butter and toss together, breaking up the pieces of butter into the flour with your fingertips or two knives scissor-fashion until the mixture is sandy and the butter chunks are no larger than peas. (Alternatively you can cut the butter in with a pastry cutter.) Drizzle in the buttermilk and mix until just combined; the dough should be shaggy.
• Scoop the dough into 6 equal mounds over the berries. Flatten the dough to cover as much surface area as possible (you can dip your hands in buttermilk to flatten it if you like). Brush the dough with buttermilk and sprinkle with the remaining sesame seeds and some more sugar. Bake in the middle of the oven until the tops of the biscuits are golden brown and the fruit is bubbly, 30 to 35 minutes, rotating the pan about halfway through the baking time. Set aside for 5 to 7 minutes to cool before serving.
• For the strawberry whipped cream: Beat the cream, vanilla and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer on a high speed until it just begins to increase in volume. Sprinkle in the sugar and continue to beat until medium-stiff peaks form, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Warm the preserves in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer, removing any seeds and fruit chunks. Add the strained mixture to the whipped cream and fold gently a couple of times to create a swirled effect.
• To serve, scoop the cobbler into bowls, top with the swirled strawberry cream and enjoy!
