RECIPE: looking for: cookie sheet sized brownie recipe

16 years ago

Good Morning,

I am visiting from other forums on Garden Web, with a question...of course :^) We attended a church dinner last Saturday and had a brownie type desert that was made in cookie sheets. It was a bit thinner than a traditional brownie, but the same dense texture. It had a fudgy type frosting with chopped nuts thinly spread over the top.

The church was not the one that I attend, and the people I asked did not know what the recipe might be.

Does this description ring any bells with anyone??

I will sincerely appreciate any help with a possible recipe.

Many thanks,

Jaybird

I love TX sheet cake but I don't find it dense. If that's not it, any brownie recipe made in a bigger pan & with the baking temperature adjusted for the thinner batter should work.

I got this one years ago off the side of a Betty Crocker Supreme Brownie mix. It's really good and I make it regularly. OATMEAL BROWNIES 2-1/2 cups oatmeal, uncooked 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar 1/2 tsp. baking soda 3/4 cup butter, melted 1 pkg. brownie mix + ingredients needed on box 1/2 cup chopped nuts Heat oven to 350Â° F. Grease bottom only of 13- x 9- x 2-inch baking pan. Mix oats, flour, brown sugar, and baking soda; stir in margarine. Reserve 1 cup of the oat mixture. Press remaining oat mixture in prepared pan. Bake 10 minutes; cool 5 minutes. Prepare brownies as directed on package; stir in nuts. Spread over baked oat layer; sprinkle with reserved oat mixture. Bake 35-40 minutes; cool. Cut into bars. Yield: 48 brownies.

ere are two recipes that I like. Hope you have success with them! Chocolate Cut Out Cookies Cookie type: cut outs This is another recipe from www.cookierecipe.com. The recipe was submitted by Robin J. The cookies will puff up slightly. The recipe makes about 6 dozen cookies depending on the cookie cutter. Ingredients 1 cup butter or margarine 2 cups white sugar 3 eggs 2 teas vanilla 3 cups flour 1 teas baking powder 10 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder Directions Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy; add eggs, beating well. Mix in vanilla. Combine flour cocoa powder and baking powder, add to cream mixture. Mix well. Cover and chill for 2 hours. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Divide dough in half. Roll out each half to Â¼ inch thick. Cut with cookie cutters. Place on lightly greased cookie sheets. Decorate. Bake 10 to 12 minutes. Decorate. Cut-Out Chocolate Cookies Cookie Type: Cut-out This is another recipe out of HersheyÂs Best-Loved recipes. Good texture and taste. It makes about 3 dozen cookies depending on the size of your cookie cutters. Ingredients Â½ cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, softened Â¾ cup sugar 1 egg 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 Â½ cups flour 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa Â½ teaspoon baking powder Â½ teaspoon baking soda Â¼ teaspoon salt Directions: Beat butter, sugar, egg and vanilla in a large bowl until and fluffy. Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to butter mixture, blending well. Chill dough about 1 hour or until firm enough to roll. Heat oven to 325 degrees F. On a lightly floured board or between 2 pieces of wax paper roll a small portion of the dough at a time to Â¼ inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters; place on an ungreased sheet. Bake 5 to 7 minutes or until no indentations remain when touched lightly. Cool slightly and remove from cookie sheet onto wire racks. Coo completely, decorate as desired. Hints, Tips, Tricks and How to Cheat: I found that the dough cracked when I tried to roll it out after chilling. The dough needs to be at room temperature. The cookies also needed a longer baking period 8-9 minutes. Also, I found that if you roll the dough on a silicone mat that is floured, then cut out the cookies, it makes it easier to get the cookies onto the baking sheet.

I have one, my mother bought it for me. I use my regular "gingerbread man" cookie dough, and I've used it for sugar cookies too, using my own recipe. It works pretty well, although when I frost the cookie I lose the "features" that are so nicely imprinted on them. Annie

Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing after each addition. Add flour, chocolate syrup, vanilla & nuts. Pour into a greased & floured jellyroll pan & bake in a preheated 350Â° oven for 15-20 minutes. (Watch closely) To prepare frosting, place sugar, butter & milk in a medium saucepan. Bring to a slow boil; boil 30 seconds. Add chocolate morsels & stir until chocolate melts. Remove from heat & pour immediately over brownies. (Frosting will seem watery but will set.)~~Food for Thought SNOW WHITE CHOCOLATE ROLL 6 TBL cake flour (not self-rising) 6 TBL unsweetened cocoa powder 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp salt 3/4 cup granulated sugar 4 egg whites, stiffly beaten 4 egg yolks, beaten until thick 1 tsp vanilla Sifted confectioners' sugar Filling: 1 cup heavy cream, whipped 3 1/2 oz can coconut flakes (not necessary if you don't like) 1/2 tsp almond extract Preheat oven to 400Â°.

After baking, immediately turn the cake out onto a cloth covered with sifted confectioners' sugar. Peel off the paper & quickly remove the crisp edges of the cake with a sharp knife. Let cake cool a short time then spread with the filling & roll immediately, beginning at a narrow side. Wrap in cloth & place in the refrigerator until serving time.~~Cotton Country Cooking

I've been making this recipe since I was young (many moons ago). It's very moist and the icing sounds like it may be what you had. It's delicious!!! Company's coming so I'm making this to serve Friday with ice cream.

CHOCOLATE SHEET CAKE

1 c. sugar
1/2 c. butter (1 stick)
4 eggs
1/8 tsp. salt
1 c + 1 Tbsp. flour
1 - 16 oz. can Hershey's chocolate syrup

Cream sugar and butter until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time beating until smooth. Add salt, flour and syrup. Pour into a greased 10-1/2 x 15-1/2" cookie sheet with sides. Bake 25 minutes at 350 degrees.

Frosting:

1-1/2 c. sugar
6 Tbsp. milk
6 Tbsp. butter
1 c. chopped nuts (I use pecans)
1/2 c. chocolate chips

Bring sugar, butter and milk to a boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and add chips and nuts. Stir until chips melt. Spread on Warm ake. Work fast--it hardens quickly. Add a little milk, if needed.

Here's a variation of the Texas & Chocolate sheet cakes: the cinnamon makes it "Mexican". I found this in the Houston Chronicle in the early '80s & have made it since, & always get raves for it (though some people think it is brownies because it's so thin.) Great for a crowd potluck.

This recipe is so easy - I can make & frost it in 50 minutes. I don't even clean the saucepan from the cake melting - just leave it for the frosting. I have always used the unsweetened chocolate -haven't tried the cocoa. Notice that the cake ingredients don't need to be sifted. It's even better the second day - the flavors have time to mellow.

MEXICAN CHOCOLATE CAKE

1 stick (1/2 c.) butter
1/2 c. vegetable oil
2 squares unsweetened chocolate OR 4 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa
1 c. water
2 c. unsifted all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 3/4 c. sugar
1/2 c. sour milk (place 1/2 tsp. vinegar in 1/2 c. milk)
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine butter, oil, chocolate and water in a saucepan and heat until chocolate is melted.
Combine flour, baking soda, sugar, milk, eggs, cinnamon and vanilla in large bowl; then combine with first mixture.
Pour into a greased 12x18-inch cake pan (I use a 12x15-inch cushionaire-type jelly roll pan). Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until cake tests done. Bake on middle rack.

Five minutes before cake is done, prepare:

MEXICAN CHOCOLATE ICING:

1 stick butter
2 squares unsweetened chocolate
6 Tbsp. milk
1 (1 lb.) pkg. confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 c. chopped pecans

Combine butter, chocolate and milk in a saucepan and heat until bubbles form around the edge. Remove from heat, add confectioners' sugar, vanilla and pecans; beat. Ice cake while still warm. Frosting is not stiff.
