We have been on a little bit of a Despicable Me kick around our house! ABSOLUTELY love that show! :) The other day we were playing around with extras on the DVD menu and discovered the recipes for the girl scout cookies the orphans sell in the movie! I was MORE than excited.. and thought I would share. As I make them I will add a picture of the real thing.
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 1/4 cup white chocolate, coarsely chopped and divided
DIRECTIONS:
In a large mixing bowl, beat together butter and sugars. Beat in eggs and vanilla until light and fluffy. In a medium bowl whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture starting at low speed and gradually working up to medium speed until completely combined but do not over-mix.
Stir in chocolate chips and 1 cup of white chocolate. Chill for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Roll out half of the dough between two sheets of parchment paper in to a large rectangle approx 1/4-1/2 inch thick. Cut dough in 1/4 inch strips. Gently roll each strip to round out the edges, then coil the strip into a swirl and place two inches apart on parchment paper lined baking sheets.
Sprinkle with remaining white chocolate flakes. Repeat with remaining dough. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Don't over-bake so the cookie is soft not crispy. Slide parchment paper and cookies onto counter top to cool. ENJOY!
