Cooking Instructions
- 1
Heat oven to 325 degrees. Line a 9-x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing 2 inches of paper to hang over the sides.
- 2
Make the shortbread: In a food processor, pulse together flour, sugar, cocoa powder and salt.
- 3
Add butter and process until a smooth dough forms.
- 4
Press dough evenly into the bottom of prepared baking pan. Bake until firm to the touch, and sides of the crust are beginning to pull away from the pan, about 25 minutes. Cool completely.
- 5
Make the filling: In a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine confectioners' sugar, butter, cream and peppermint extract. Beat until mixture forms a thick, smooth paste.
- 6
Press filling evenly over shortbread. With wet fingers, smooth surface with quick, circular movements. Wrap in plastic and chill to set the filling for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
- 7
Use parchment paper overhang to lift the shortbread and peppermint out of the baking pan and onto a cutting board. Cut into 1½-inch squares or as desired. Place squares on a rack placed over a parchment-lined sheet tray, and let them come to room temperature for about 15 minutes.
- 8
In the top of a double boiler or in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, melt 135 grams chocolate, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Remove from heat, add remaining 65 grams chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes. Stir the chocolate until smooth.
- 9
Spoon 1 teaspoon chocolate on top of a cut peppermint square, using the back of the spoon to spread chocolate to the edges. Be sure to fully cover the top of the square with chocolate. (Leave the sides exposed, though it's O.K. if some of the chocolate drips down.) Repeat with remaining squares.
- 10
Let squares sit at room temperature until chocolate is set, at least 1 hour. They keep well in the freezer.

These are a Holiday staple in our house. They are rich, but refreshing with the peppermint cream. They freeze great, cut into bars and individually wrap and store in a freezer bag. They are then ready when you need them. Less to do during the busy Holiday season!

Raspberry Almond Squares Raspberry Almond Squares
Combine the rich nuttiness of a buttery almond croissant with the fruity tartness of a raspberry jam bar, and you have these raspberry almond squares. The squares are a textural dream: a chewy, brown sugar base that's crowned with gooey almond frangipane and swirled with vibrant raspberry jam. A sprinkle of toasty sliced almonds and a dust of confectioners sugar add crunch, contrast, and a touch of elegance.

Raisin Cream Cheese Chocolate Squares Raisin Cream Cheese Chocolate Squares
I was thinking of a Valentine's Day recipe that uses cream cheese when I stumbled upon a raisin cream filling recipe. It was really delicious and had a flavor that'd go well with other ingredients. So I thought I'd make a sandwiched cake using it! (The honey is my own spin).For the baking pan, I used the one that comes with our oven toaster. If it's a standard-sized oven toaster I think you can use it in the same way. For Steps 4-6, you don't have to extend the ingredients to cover the corners. Recipe by caramel-cookie

Double Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars Double Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
We are all always hunting for that elusive beast, "the perfect chocolate chip cookie". I'm not going to tell you this recipe is perfect by any means, and as it's written it's "cookie bars", not straight up cookies - although I do have a note at the end for the option of making cookies. I make bars because as a busy mom spreading my dough out in a cake pan and throwing it into the oven is faster than making batch after batch of individual cookies, waiting for my cookie sheets to cool between each batch, and lugging the dough in and out of the fridge to ensure the cookies don't spread ridiculously.What I WILL tell you is that this recipe is my own compilation of my favorite aspects of a variety of cookie recipes I've tried over the years, and we think it's delicious. And be prepared for open gooey yummyness, cause that's ehat you're gonna get with these!
