I learned to bake and cook from my mother. I grew up in a family of 12 and we all had chores to do - mine was to help prepare the meals. The more I cooked, the more I enjoyed it. Now it's my favorite hobby. Ingredients:
3/4 cup water |
1/2 cup butter |
1-1/2 ounces unsweetened chocolate |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 eggs |
1/2 cup sour cream |
cream cheese mixture: |
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened |
1/3 cup sugar |
1 egg, beaten |
1 tablespoon vanilla extract |
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips |
Directions:
1. In a small saucepan, combine the water, butter and chocolate; cook and stir over low heat until smooth. Cool. 2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, baking soda and salt. Add eggs and sour cream; beat on low speed just until combined. Stir in chocolate mixture until smooth. 3. In another bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, egg and vanilla; set aside. Spread chocolate batter into a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Drop cream cheese mixture by tablespoonfuls over batter; cut through the batter with a knife to swirl. Sprinkle with chocolate chips. 4. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars. Yield: about 6 dozen. |
