Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Dessert
Ingredients
Cookie:
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for flouring
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) salted butter, softened
  • ¼ cup shortening, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Seeds from ½ vanilla bean
  • ¾ cup sour cream
Frosting:
  • 8 tablespoons (1 stick) salted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • Pinch of kosher salt
  • 2 to 4 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 18 drops green gel paste
  • 72 cinnamon imperials, for topping
Instructions
  1. Special equipment: a 2½-inch round cutter
  2. For the cookie: Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl.
  3. In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream together the granulated sugar, butter and shortening. Add the eggs 1 at a time, mixing well between additions. Add the vanilla extract and vanilla seeds and mix well. Add the sour cream and mix until just combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat on low until just mixed through; the dough will be sticky. Shape into a rectangle and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for a couple of hours or overnight.
  4. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment or silicone baking mats.
  5. Roll out the dough on a floured surface about ¼ inch thick and cut into 2½-inch rounds. Place the rounds on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until the cookies are puffed and cooked through but have not taken on any color, 13 to 15 minutes. Remove the cookies to a wire rack to cool.
  6. For the frosting: When ready to decorate, make the frosting. In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and vanilla until smooth. Slowly add the powdered sugar and salt and beat on medium until smooth and fluffy. Add the heavy cream 1 tablespoon at a time until the frosting is fairly thick. Add the gel paste and stir to evenly combine.
  7. Use a butter knife to spread the frosting on the cookies, then decorate with 3 cinnamon imperials in the center of each cookie. Leave overnight to set.

For a right-sized beef wellington, try these quarter pound tenderloins wrapped with prosciutto and mushroom duxelles in a perfectly puffed pastry.
Author:
Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Main dish
Ingredients
Beef:
  • 1 pound beef tenderloin (filet mignon)
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
Mushrooms:
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, finely minced
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons dry sherry
To assemble:
  • 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed and cut into 7-inch squares
  • 4 slices prosciutto
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, or to taste
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Coarse salt
Instructions
  1. For the beef: Season the beef with oil, salt and pepper. Heat oil in a cast-iron pan over high heat. Sear all sides of the beef. Remove from pan.
  2. For the mushrooms: In the same pan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the chopped shallot and minced garlic cloves; cook until fragrant. Add mushrooms, fresh thyme, salt and pepper; cook until all the moisture has evaporated. Add the dry sherry and continue to cook until the sherry has evaporated. Remove from heat and set aside to cool to room temperature.

  5. Cut off excess puff pastry. Fold one edge of the pastry up and over the beef, press down, brush with egg wash, then fold the next side up and over. Repeat until all the sides are pressed together like a package. Repeat with the remaining pieces of beef.
  6. Place the Wellingtons seam side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with egg wash. Using the back of a knife, score a pattern onto the puff pastry, and sprinkle with some coarse salt.

Author:
Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Main dish
Ingredients
  • 1 lb bacon
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 lb ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • oil, for greasing pan
  • 2 cups grated cheddar cheese, divieded
  • 2 cups grated monterey jack cheese, divided
  • 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped, divided
  • lettuce, to serve
  • tomato, sliced, to serve
  • 8 rolls, to serve
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
  2. On a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, lay 5 of the bacon strips down back to back. Lifting up every other strip, fold about 1-inch (2 cm) the bacon back on itself. Lay another slice of bacon perpendicular to the strips and fold the flaps back over the horizontal strip of bacon. Repeat with the rest of the bacon until a tight weave has formed.
  3. Bake for 30 minutes, or until desired crispiness has been reached.
  4. In a 10-inch (25 cm) cast iron skillet heat the butter over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook until a deep gold color, about 45 minutes. Remove from heat.
  5. In a bowl, mix together the beef, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Divide the beef mixture in half.
  6. On a piece of parchment paper spread half of the meat into a large circle about 10 inches (25 cm) long and 1 inch (2 cm) thick. Repeat with the other half of meat on a separate piece of parchment paper.
  7. Sprinkle half of the cheddar and half of the Monterey Jack over one disk of ground beef, along with half of the parsley. Place the bacon lattice on top.
  8. Sprinkle the rest of the cheddar and Monterey on top of the bacon lattice, along with the rest of the parsley.
  9. Top with the caramelized onions. Place the other circle of meat on directly on top. Begin pinching together the meat patties making sure the fillings are not coming out, until a giant burger is formed.
  10. Heat a greased 10 inch (25 cm) cast iron skillet over medium heat. Place the giant burger in the skillet carefully while peeling away the bottom piece of parchment. Cook for 5 minutes, until it is a deep brown color.
  11. Using a large plate, place it over the skillet. While holding the plate in place flip the skillet so the burger falls onto to plate. Place the skillet back on the heat and slide the burger back into the pan so the cooked side is facing up now. Cook for another 5 minutes.
  12. Remove from heat and place skillet in the oven to finish cooking for 5 minutes
  13. Remove from pan using spatulas and place on a cutting board for serving.
  14. Cut into 8 or more pieces. Serve on a roll with lettuce and tomato.
