White Chocolate Cookie Dough Balls Food

RED VELVET COOKIES WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE CHUNKS

Steps:

• Move racks to the center of the oven, and heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the egg and mix until fully incorporated, about 1 minute more. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• Add 1 tablespoon red food coloring (and up to 1 1/2 tablespoons for really red cookies) and vanilla extract and mix on medium speed to combine. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• In a small bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt to combine. Add to the mixer and mix on low speed until fully incorporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the buttermilk (or milk) and mix on low speed to combine, then scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• Add about 3/4 of the white chocolate and mix on low speed to combine. Scoop 2 tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 1 1/2 inches between each piece. Use your palm to flatten the balls slightly.
• Press the remaining white chocolate chunks into the surface of each piece of dough. Bake for 12 minutes, until the cookies appear set on the outside and puffed in the center, rotating the baking sheets halfway through. Cool completely on the baking sheet.

BAKERY STYLE RASPBERRY WHITE CHOCOLATE COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and prepare baking sheets with cooking spray or parchment paper. Set aside, and beging preparing the cookie dough. Add flour, baking soda and baking powder to a large prep bowl and stir to combine. Set aside.
• In a separate prep bowl, add the sugars and softened butter and use a hand or stand mixer to combine for 1-2 minutes. Add in the egg and vanilla extract and continue to beat for an additional minute.
• Once combined stir in the dry ingredients until just combined. Finally, gently stir in the roughly chopped raspberries and white chocolate chips. It is okay if all the raspberries and chocolate chips aren't combined into the dough. You can press them on top of cookie dough balls.
• Scoop the dough into large 1 1/2 inch balls. I like mine on the large side to make them fit a bakery style cookie. Place each rolled cookie dough on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Once all the dough has been rolled, bake the white chocolate cookies on the center rack of you oven 10-15 minutes until cookies are golden.
• Once the cookies are finished baking, remove from the cookie tray and let cool on a cooling rack. Enjoy warm, or store leftover appropriately.

WHITE CHOCOLATE SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• Put the chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until melted, about 2 minutes. Let cool slightly. Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
• Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Beat in the egg until smooth. Beat in the melted white chocolate, then the vanilla. Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour mixture in three additions until just combined. Divide the dough between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pat into disks; wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll out the dough on a floured surface until 1/4 inch thick. Cut out cookies using a 3- to 3 1/2-inch cookie cutter. Arrange 1 1/2 inches apart on the prepared pans. Freeze until firm, about 10 minutes. Gather the scraps and refrigerate until firm, then reroll once, cut out more cookies and freeze.
• Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are firm and the edges are light brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the pans, then transfer to racks to cool completely.
• Decorate the cookies with royal icing. Sprinkle with nonpareils. Let set, about 1 hour.

WHITE CHOCOLATE COOKIE DOUGH BALLS

Steps:

• Form 1 inch balls with the cookie dough. Refrigerate or put in the freezer to keep them very cold.
• Melt white chocolate chips in a double boiler.
• Coat cold cookie dough balls in melted chocolate and place on wax paper to harden. ( take only a few dough balls out of the fridge at a time so they will stay cold).
• After chocolate has hardened they can be stored in any sealed container including ziploc bags.

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH BALLS

Steps:

• For the cookie dough balls: In an electric mixer, beat the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, applesauce and vanilla together until smooth. Sift the flour, baking soda and salt together, and with the mixer running, slowly add to the butter mixture. Mix in the chocolate chips. Scoop out the batter using a mini ice cream scoop and roll it into balls. Place the dough balls about an inch apart on a baking sheet lined with wax paper and transfer them to the freezer for 30 minutes to let the dough set up.
• For the dipping chocolate: While the dough is chilling, melt the chocolate wafers and chocolate-almond bark together in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly. Remove the chilled dough balls from the freezer. Using two spoons, dip the balls one at a time in the melted chocolate, rolling them to coat fully. Returned the dough balls to the wax paper-lined baking sheet and refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
