]]> This original recipe for peanut butter cookies is one of the eight cookie recipes included in my cookbook Desserts: Small Batch Recipes for HOTLOGIC® Mini. I know the User Guide for the HOTLOGIC® clearly states it cannot bake cookies. However, I have discovered the ingredients that will work. Any place you can plug in a HOTLOGIC® Mini, you can bake peanut butter cookies. No kitchen required.

Almond cookies and peanut butter cookies baked in the purple HOTLOGIC® Mini surround it along with the chocolate mousse made with chocolate melted in the HOTLOGIC®.

A HOTLOGIC® Mini will bake one to six cookies at a time. Imagine putting a disk of frozen dough in your HOTLOGIC® at work and 3 1/2 hours later enjoying a soft warm cookie during your afternoon break. Try this recipe yourself to see that you, too, can bake cookies in your HOTLOGIC®.

Peanut Butter Cookies

Course Dessert
Cuisine American
Cook Time 3 hours 30 minutes
Servings 18 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup GreatValueTM Gluten Free All Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup raw sugar
  • 1/3 cup raw brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons butter, unsalted, softened
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter

Instructions

  • In small bowl mix flours and baking soda. Set aside.
  • In another small bowl, add egg, sugars, and salt. Whisk with fork until well blended. Set aside.
  • In medium bowl cream butter and peanut butter with a hand mixer.
  • Add egg mixture and bend well. Beat on Low with hand mixer until well incorporated.
  • Add flour mixture 1/3 at a time, blending well between additions.
  • Cover the HOTLOGIC® heating plate, first with aluminum foil, then with a piece of parchment paper.
  • Scoop out six 1-inch balls of dough placing them on the parchment paper. Use a fork to make a crosshatch pattern while pressing the cookie dough flat, 1/4” to 1/3” thick. It will not change shape very much when baking.
  • Plug in the HOTLOGIC® and zip shut. Bake 3 1/2 to 4 hours depending on how soft you want your cookie. The longer time will produce a harder cookie after it cools.
  • Store the remaining dough in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • Alternatively, shape dough into cookies, freeze and store frozen up to three months until ready to bake. They can be frozen on a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper.

The post Original Cheesecake appeared first on HLCooking.

]]> You can make a lovely cheesecake in your HOTLOGIC®. The moisture level is perfect. No water bath required. If you leave them baking for 10+ hours, cracking may occur around the edges. You will need to place parchment paper over the dishes to keep the water from dripping onto the cheesecakes. The recipe below serves four.

When I first developed this recipe, I used half pint canning jars. Later I was given two 4-inch springform pans and found they work beautifully with this recipe. This recipe fills two pans. The pans fit well inside a HOTLOGIC® Mini. These links take you to Amazon, but Hobby Lobby sells them for $1.99, much cheaper than what I could find on Amazon.

Two 4-inch spring form pans with crusts for the original cheesecake recipe heating up in a HOTLOGIC® Mini.

When using the springform pan, use parchment paper to cover the bottom. This will give you something to grip when removing the cheesecake from the pan. The flat side is down, so you will need to press the paper into the bottom section before locking the ring to the bottom section. In this picture the crust is heating while the filling is being made.

Alternative Baking Dishes

Besides using two springform pans; you can use four half-pint canning jars or, if freezing the dessert before serving, two 3”-4” round silicon molds. Unless the cheesecakes are frozen, they cannot be easily removed from the silicon molds.

For four small round cheesecakes, bake in half-pint canning jars. After chilling in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours, freeze the cheesecakes. Once frozen, carefully run glass under cold water. Use a narrow icing spatula around the edge to twist out each cheesecake. After removing, let thaw for 15 minutes before serving.

Crust

For the crust, I used Biscoff® cookies, but you can also use vanilla wafers or graham crackers with a bit of sugar. Feel free to experiment with the type of cookie you like best.

The crust can be assembled and pre-heat for a short time in the HOTLOGIC® while the filling is being made. However, if you have time to bake the crust for 8 hours or overnight, the crust will be drier and have, in my opinion, a better texture. Either way, the flavor will still be delicious.

This is one of the eight cheesecake recipes included in my cookbook Desserts: Small Batch Recipes for HOTLOGIC® Mini.

Original Cheesecake

Course Dessert
Cuisine American
Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 8 hours
Chill 2 hours
Servings 4

Equipment

  • 4 half pint canning jars or two 4-inch springform pans
  • 8-cup measuring cup
  • electric hand mixer

Ingredients

  • 7 ea Biscoff cookies (@60g) (Use 8 cookies if using spring form pans.)
  • 1 T butter, unsalted, melted
  • 1 lg egg
  • 1/4 c raw sugar
  • 1 t vanilla extract
  • 1/2 t lemon juice
  • 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1/4 c sour cream, room temperature

Instructions

Crust

  • Plug in HOTLOGIC®. Place butter in heat safe container in the HOTLOGIC® to soften/melt.
  • Put cookies in 1 quart bag and smash with hands, tumbler, or rolling pin to make small crumbs.
  • Pour crumb in small bowl. Add butter and stir to coat.
  • If you are using the springform pan, the flat side goes down so that it will have contact with the HOTLOGIC®. Cover the bottom with a piece of parchment paper, pressing into the bottom and around the edge. Then attach the ring in place. with the excess paper on the outside. The excess can be used to lift the cheesecake out of the bottom when ready to eat.
  • Spoon crumbs into half pint jars or springform pans, distributing evenly. Press to pack crust tightly.
  • Place containers in the HOTLOGIC®.

Filling

  • In small bowl add egg and sugar. Beat on Low until smooth.
  • Add vanilla and lemon juice. Beat on Low until well blended. Set aside.
  • In an 8-cup measuring bowl add cream cheese. Cream on Low with hand mixer. (Do not need to clean off egg mixture.)
  • Add sour cream. Blend on Low until smooth
  • Add egg mixture. Blend on Low until smooth.
  • Remove containers from the HOTLOGIC®. (The metal pan may be hot.) Pour the filling in even amounts in the dishes. Gently shake and pound the dish to even out the filling and remove any air bubbles.
  • Place dishes in the HOTLOGIC®. Cover with parchment paper. Zip shut. Cook for 8 hours.
  • After 8 hours, unplug the HOTLOGIC®, unzip and carefully remove the parchment paper without letting the water drip on the cheescake. Let set for 30 minutes before putting in the refrigerator to chill for 2 hours before eating.
  • If you used the half pint jars, add your favorite topping and eat from the jar.
  • If you used the springform pans, cut between the cheesecake and the ring before releasing the latch. You can lift the cheesecake out of the bottom by the excess paper. Peel off the paper and gently set on a plate. Add your favorite topping and enjoy.

Notes

  1. A quick way to get cream cheese or sour cream to room temperature, is to place them in a bowl of water. Cream cheese in a sealed, foil wrapper can be placed directly in the water. The sour cream can be placed in a small bowl and then set in water.
  2. To have a drier crust, bake the crust overnight before making the filling. Place the springform pans on a paper towel to absorb the melted butter. Don’t use the paper towel once the filling is poured over the crust and place back in the HOTLOGIC® to bake the cheesecake.

]]> When my No. 1 Taste Tester’s Mimi had family and friends over for a gathering, her neighbor brought butterscotch haystacks. No one had seen them before, but they all enjoyed them. Everyone was surprised when they learned how simple they are to make.

My No. 1 Taste Tester remembers making butterscotch haystacks many times after that. She even thinks she submitted them as an entry for a baking contest. She comes from a small town that has a yearly festival event with a parade, contests and the like. When I was trying to think of desserts that can be made with a HOTLOGIC®, she remembered this recipe.

I like this recipe because I consider it to be a kid-friendly recipe. The HOTLOGIC® gives kids a safe way to melt the butterscotch chips. They just need to be taught that the bowl may be hot and use hot pads to remove the bowl from the HOTLOGIC®.

Other kid-friendly recipes:

If you read the Chocolate Haystacks recipe, you saw that some of the choolate chips need to be reserved and added to the melted chocolate later. This will temper the chocolate so that it hardens at room temperature. The butterscotch chips do not need this. In fact, even with peanut butter added to the melted butterscotch chips, it still hardens at room temperature. This recipe is simple to make with no special steps required.

The post Chocolate Haystacks appeared first on HLCooking.

]]> When I was in junior high, my sister came home from high school with this Chow Mein Noodle cookies recipe. Some people call them chocolate haystacks. Whatever you call them; they are an easy to make, delicious treat.

I used a microwave to melt the chocolate when I first made them. Now I prefer to use my HOTLOGIC® to melt the chocolate chips. I find it easy to put the chips in a heat-safe bowl, place in HOTLOGIC®, plug it in and zip it. I wait 2 hours. The chips are complete melted when stirred, and they don’t burn. I reserve a quarter of the chips to add to the melted chips. This will enable the melted chocolate chips to harden again at room temperature.

I consider this to be a kid-friendly recipe. HOTLOGIC® is a simple heating/cooking device. I believe that it would be easy to teach children how to safely use a HOTLOGIC® to prepare food.

Other kid-friendly recipes:

You may want to try some variations for this recipe. Instead of using chow mein noodles, you may want to use pretzel sticks or potato sticks if you like the salty-sweet combination.

Chocolate Haystacks

Course Dessert
Cuisine American
Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour
Hardening Time 4 hours

Ingredients

  • 1 c semisweet chocolate chips, divided
  • 1 c cocktail peanuts
  • 1 c chow mein noodles

Instructions

  • Put 2/3 c chips in heat-safe dish.
  • Place dish in the HOTLOGIC®. Plug in the HOTLOGIC® and zip shut. Heat for 1 hour.
  • Remove chips from heat, Add 1/3 c chips. Stir until smooth.
  • In medium bowl add noodles and peanuts. Pour in melted chocolate and stir until evenly coated.
  • Put wax paper on a cookie sheet. Spoon mixture on to wax paper making 1½" piles.
  • Set aside to harden, 4-6 hours.

Notes

It is important to reserve some of the chips to add to the melted chips. The solid chips will temper the chocolate so that it will harden. If all the chips are melted at the same time, the Haystacks will need to be put in the refrigerator or freezer to harden and store.

The post ROLO® Pretzel Delights appeared first on HLCooking.

]]> When I was trying to think of desserts that can be made in a HOTLOGIC®, my No. 1 Taste Tester remembered making ROLO® Pretzel Delights. This was a treat her family regularly made at Christmas time. They turned out to be a super easy treat to make.

This got me thinking. HOTLOGIC® is a simple heating/cooking device. It seems to me that it would be easy to teach children how to safely use it to prepare food. Most of the dishes take hours to cook, but this one only takes 10 minutes of heat time. This would be a fun treat for kids to make and not test their patience.

Other kid-friendly recipes:

When melting the ROLOs®, you want the candy to be soft enough to press gentle with a pecan or pretzel and have it smoosh. But you don’t want the candy to be so warm that it starts melting and spreads by itself. If it is too melted, it won’t harden up again.
