Game Day Entertaining
Sweet Thing
The Devil In Disguise
Football officials. The love-hate relationship fanatics have for these distinctive gentlemen through an entire 60 minute game of gridiron action is real. Deafening cheers & affirmations after one play can quickly turn sour particularly when a players knee may have hit the ground before the ball breaks the plane but you best believe the expletives flying through the air make it across the goal line indeed. Referee Cookies pay homage to the brave souls who immediately jog to their motorcade as soon as the play clock hits zero. Filled with a fine selection of quality bittersweet & white chocolate morsels, these irresistible bakery-style cookies offer peanut butter & crunchy bits of granola for good, wholesome balance. Bake the cookies the day before your tailgating social & slip into festive Touchdown Treat Sacks to score additional style points.

The Basic Fundamentals
Soften butter on the countertop for at least 20 minutes before blending dough to ensure it’s airated properly with the sugars.
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup creamy peanut butter
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
2 3/4 cups ap flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp kosher salt
2 1/2 cups granola cereal
1 cup white chocolate morsels
1 cup bittersweet chocolate morsels
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Cream the butter & the sugars with an electric stand mixer on Medium speed. Stop to scrape the sides of the bowl often with a rubber spatula. Add the peanut butter & vanilla. Blend just until combined. Add the eggs & blend just until combined. Whisk together the flour, the soda & the salt. Add to the butter mixture & mix on Low speed. Add the granola & the white & bittersweet chocolate morsels blending just until combined. Drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto lightly greased, foil-lined baking sheets. Lightly press the mounds of dough with your fingertips to slightly flatten. Bake one pan at a time for 9 to 11 minutes or until puffed & set.
The Extra Point
Substitute chopped toffee candy bars in place of the bittersweet morsels for a delicious variation.

How To Measure Brown Sugar
Sugar is a spreading agent in baked goods.
It’s important to know how to measure it properly to have success.
Follow my tips for this simple task.
The Technique
When preparing baking recipes that call for brown sugar, it’s important to get an accurate measurement. Be certain to pack it tightly in the measuring cup & level with a knife, if necessary. Once you have the proper amount, add it as is to the recipes or crumble through your fingers to break it up to ensure the proper blending takes place.
