Misa-Misa's Quintuple-Chocolate Friendship Cookies
(for sharing, because friends share)
Hello~ And welcome everyone to Misa-Misa's Happy "Make Your Enemies Fat" Cooking show! Today Misa-Misa's going to show you a recipe inspired by her bestest friends in the whooooole world, because even if they pretend that they're strong (tsuyoiii~) and really smart, every boy has a weakness and it's almost always chocolate~!
Especially these boys. They become total smooshyheads when there's chocolate involved! They even forget they hate each other!
Ingredients time! (piyo piyo~)
1 cup butter (no faking it, gotta be the real stuff!)
1 3/4 cups white sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
3/4 cup EXTRA DARK cocoa powder (again again again, the real stuff!)
just a little cinnamon
just a little salt
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 1/2 cups flour
1 bag of chocolate-caramel candies (like Rolos!)
3 bars ghiradelli chocolate (1 white for Ryuuzaki, 1 bittersweet for Light~, and a semi -sweet for Misa-Misa!) all broken up into bitty pieces
Make sure to set all the chocolate aside and in the fridge or even the freezer for an hour before you bake these!
Cookie time! (piyo piyo~)
Preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius (that's 375 Farenheit for all you Americans watching on the Internet~)! Grease a bunch of cookie-sheets with extra butter and set them aside. These cookies are sticky! (kichikichi~)
Start by creaming the butter and sugar together, then once it's all fluffy beat in the vanilla and eggs too. Then the cocoa, then the spices and the baking powder together, and then the flour goes last. Once you're sure it's holding together all right, mix in all the chocolate bits at the same time--carefully! It's all gonna melt, but try and make sure to get all the different kinds of chocolate mixed up so it packs a punch (ka-DON~!) when the cookies are finally done.
(Ryuuzaki likes to lick the bowl. Light pretends he doesn't, but if you give him a spoon he'll lick it anyway. Misa-Misa just uses her fingers, 'cause it's better that way, and sometimes that gets Light to forget about the spoon.)
When you put them on the sheets, remember, these are cookies for sharing, so you can't make them too small. Smallest-cookies are actually medium-sized, like once you roll them up it should be like a ping-pong ball! If you want to make them bigger, you can, up to the size of a POOL ball!
Ping-pong-balls bake for twelve minutes.
Pool-balls bake for eighteen!
Picture time! (ba-ba-ba-PING~!)
Careful when you take them out--the caramel gets reeeeeeally sticky! So sometimes they break and sometimes they stick to the cookie sheet. But that makes it more fun to scrape the spatula with your teeth! (Ryuuzaki does that too.) They're best when they're warm and the caramel's still all melted.
Ryuuzaki puts extra sugar on his. Light needs a big glass of milk to eat just one! (He dunks. It's so cute~!) But Misa-Misa thinks they're juuuuust right, and they make everything just right, because friends share. Everything. Especially cookies.
