Ingredients
WHOOPIE PIE
  • nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
  • 4 ½ cups all purpose flour (560 g)
  • 1 cup cocoa powder (120 g)
  • 1 teaspoon espresso powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon baking soda
  • 2 cups brown sugar (440 g)
  • 2 cups water (480 mL)
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup vegetable oil (240 mL)
MARSHMALLOW FILLING
  • 16 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 13 oz marshmallow fluff (370 g)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar (240 g)
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Grease and line 2 10-inch (25 cm) round cake pans with parchment paper.
  2. Make the whoopie pie: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, salt, baking soda, and brown sugar, making sure there are no lumps.
  3. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then pour in the water, vinegar, vanilla and oil to the well. Whisk to combine, working slowly to avoid clumps.
  4. Scoop 2½ cups (600 g) of batter into the center of each cake pan. Use an offset spatula or a knife to spread the edges of the batter just to the edges of the pans. Do not level the top of the cake, to help create a domed shape.
  5. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Make the filling: In a large bowl, combine the butter and marshmallow fluff and cream with an electric hand mixer for 2–3 minutes, until fully combined. Sift in the powdered sugar, then beat for another 2–3 minutes, until light and fluffy. Transfer the filling to a piping bag or zip-top bag. Cut a 2-inch (5 cm) wide opening on a corner.
  7. Invert a cake onto a serving platter so the domed side is facing down. Pipe a thick spiral of filling onto the cake, leaving a ¼-inch (½ cm) border around the edge, and smooth with an offset spatula. Place the remaining cake on top of the filling, domed side up, and push down slightly to attach.
  8. Slice and serve.
  9. Enjoy!

Grilled Glazed Ham

Grilled Glazed Ham
This method of grilling and glazing ham can be used with any glaze. Just make sure to heat your ham up over medium indirect heat before brushing it on. (Grill times will be affected by the temperature outside and the wind.)
Author:
Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Dessert
Ingredients
  • One 8- to 10-pound bone-in spiral-cut smoked ham
  • One 20-ounce can pineapple rings, rings and juice separated
  • 1 packed cup dark brown sugar
  • Kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 10 maraschino cherries, stems removed
Instructions
Special equipment: heavy-duty foil; a small disposable aluminum roaster
  1. Prepare a grill for medium indirect heat. For gas grills (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes turn off one of the middle burners and turn the remaining burners down to medium. For charcoal grills, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. Set up a drip pan on the other side to avoid flare-ups. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results.)
  2. Cut three 12-inch pieces of heavy-duty foil. Working one piece at a time, fold in half lengthwise. Fold in half again and fold in half one more time; you should have a long strip of foil about 1½ inches wide. Twist the two ends of the strip in opposite directions making a twisted rope of foil. Repeat with the remaining two pieces of foil. Set all three ropes in the center of a small disposable aluminum roaster about 1 inch apart and place the ham on top. (The ropes will prevent the bottom of the ham from burning.) Cover tightly with foil and place over indirect heat (if your grill has a thermometer, it should be at around 325 degrees F). Cover the grill and cook until just warmed through, 35 to 45 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, boil the pineapple juice, brown sugar and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until the glaze is very thick and has the consistency of honey, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and remove from the heat.
  4. Carefully remove the foil cover from the ham and discard; baste with the glaze, making sure to get in between each slice. Increase the heat to medium-high and move the ham over direct heat. Cover the grill and cook until the glaze begins to bubble, about 5 minutes. Baste again with the remaining glaze, then cover and cook until the glaze bubbles, 5 minutes more. Continue basting and cooking until the ham is shiny and the glaze begins to brown, about 10 more minutes. Remove from the grill and let sit 10 minutes, uncovered, before serving.
  5. Meanwhile, grill the pineapple rings over direct heat until charred on one side, 4 to 5 minutes. Let cool. Arrange the pineapple rings on the uncut portion of the ham, grill marks facing up, and use toothpicks to secure them in place. Place a cherry in the center of each ring and secure with a toothpick.
  6. Serve the ham with any accumulated juices, remaining pineapple rings and cherries on the side.

Santa’s Christmas Cookies

Santa's Christmas Cookies recipe.
Author:
Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Main dish
Ingredients
  • 3½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1½ sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1½ cups granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Gel-paste food coloring, optional
  • Royal Icing, recipe follows
  • Edible decorations, such as sprinkles or candy balls, optional
Royal Icing:
  • ¼ cup meringue powder
  • 8 cups sifted confectioner's sugar
Instructions
Special equipment: a squeeze bottle for easy decorating
  1. In a large bowl, use a whisk to combine the flour, salt and baking powder. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and beat until completely combined.
  2. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the flour mixture slowly, about ½ cup at a time until finished, mixing until just combined. Form the dough into 2 disks and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate until slightly firm, about 1 hour, or up to overnight.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper, or spray with cooking spray.
  4. Roll the dough out onto a floured work surface and use cookie cutters to cut out shapes, then transfer to the prepared baking sheets, leaving about a 2-inch space between each cookie.
  5. Chill the cut-out cookies on the baking sheets for about 15 minutes before baking for a more precise shape. Bake until just starting to become crisp and golden around the edges, about 15 minutes. Remove the cookies to a rack and let cool completely.
  6. Use food coloring to tint Royal Icing into different colors. To decorate, cover the cookies with the Royal Icing, then sprinkle on decorations while the icing is still wet. Let the icing set completely.
Royal Icing:
  1. Yield: 4 cups icing
  2. Add the meringue powder to ½ cup water in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and whip for about 30 seconds. Slowly add the confectioner's sugar, and continue to beat until medium peaks form. If the icing is too stiff, add water a tablespoon at a time. Keep covered until ready to use. Transfer to a squeeze bottle for easier decorating.

Author:
Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Main dish
Ingredients
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 3 cups sugar
  • ⅔ cup water
  • ½ cup light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
  1. Place egg whites in the bowl of a stand mixer; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, line three 15x10x1-in. pans with waxed paper.
  2. In a large heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, water and corn syrup; bring to a boil, stirring constantly to dissolve sugar. Cook, without stirring, over medium heat until a candy thermometer reads 252° (hard-ball stage). Just before the temperature is reached, beat egg whites on medium speed until stiff peaks form.
  3. Slowly add hot sugar mixture in a thin stream over egg whites, beating constantly and scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Add vanilla. Beat until candy holds its shape, 5-6 minutes. (Do not overmix or candy will get stiff and crumbly.) Immediately fold in pecans.
  4. Quickly drop by heaping teaspoonfuls onto prepared pans. Let stand at room temperature until dry to the touch. Store between waxed paper in an airtight container at room temperature.
