What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Front-Runner Favs: Zero Candy Bar Cookies! White chocolate fudge has been popular since it was introduced in a candy bar a hundred years ago. At that time it was called the Double Zero Bar due to its “chilling” snowy white color, reminding the public of an ice cube. To this day it is sold in a trademark cool silver wrapper. Imitation is the highest form of flattery, they say. Today’s cookies are nothing short of heavenly.
ZERO CANDY BAR COOKIES
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 sea salt
1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups peanuts, chopped
3.4 ounce Zero Candy Bar, chopped
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375°. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, sugar, and brown sugar until creamy. Add vanilla and almond extracts. Beat well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until well mixed. In another bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and sea salt. Gradually add to the butter mixture. Stir until blended. Fold in white chocolate chips, mini chocolate chips, peanuts, and Zero Candy Bar pieces. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick oil. Drop cookie dough, using a melon ball scoop, onto the baking sheet. Bake 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Let cool for 2 minutes before transferring cookies to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining dough. Yield: 6 dozen.

Why do we live cookies so much? Personally, I think it’s about portion-control. Very satisfying. 🍪🍃😍

I wish I could say they had zero calories…but then I’d be speaking from “La-La Land”, a place where there are none. 😜🍃🍪

Moderation is the key. So I’ll only take a half dozen at a time . . . 😉

This may be before your time, but when Mrs. Field’s Cookies we’re popular, I’d actually pay $24 for a dozen white chocolate cookies. Oh my, the memory makes me drool. 💦
