STEP 2 KITCHEN RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 4 baking sheets with parchment paper. Beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar with a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium speed until creamy, about 3 minutes. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add vanilla, beating until blended, about 10 seconds.
• Whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and kosher salt in a bowl; gradually add to butter mixture, beating on low speed, until just blended. Fold in chocolate, almonds, corn chips, and oats by hand.
• Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop and drop cookies 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle evenly with flaky sea salt.
• Bake cookies in preheated oven in batches, 1 baking sheet at a time, until cookies are golden brown, about 12 minutes per batch. Let cookies cool on baking sheets 2 minutes; transfer to wire racks. Let cool slightly, 10 to 15 minutes, and serve

Steps:

• In small microwave safe bowl melt 4 ounces of unsweetened baking chocolate until stirrable (about 45 seconds on high). Set aside to cool.In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat 1 cup (2 sticks) of regular (salted) butter and 1 ½ cups of white sugar until fluffy (about 1 to 2 minutes). When melted chocolate is cooled, drizzle it over the butter/sugar mixture. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat the mixture thoroughly until combined (on a Kitchen Aid mixer, you will be using the whisk attachment).Turn your mixer to a medium speed and over a period of 15 to 20 minutes add in the four eggs, one at a time, leaving about 5 minutes between each egg addition. Once the pie filling is well mixed, pour it into the baked pie shell, scraping every last speck of it out of the bowl. Smooth out the pie filling and place pie in the refrigerator to chill for at least two hours (preferably longer).Plop a heap of whipped cream and garnish with a few chocolate curls if you’re feeling sassy.
