Not all of Grandma's recipes are time-consuming--her fast fudge proves it! She stirred up a batch for us grandkids every time we visited. Now, I'm carrying on the tasty tradition for my family whenever we want a quick chocolate treat with a peanut butter twist.

T. O. H. FUDGY BUTTONS [ KID COOK SAFE]



T. O. H. Fudgy Buttons [ Kid Cook Safe] image

All you have to do is melt the butter and let the kid go to town making the buttons. To explain, I have sort of defatted it for our use. However here is the Taste Of Home version. It all started when I wanted some fudge and I can't make fudge worth a hoot. I used Peanut Butter extract instead of the real thing. As good as my version is, I am betting this one is better. Not going to be the most glorious thing you ever made, but I bet the kid will be proud of it. Note I added a drop of vanilla to mine.

Time 3m

Yield 18 buttons, 9 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 teaspoons baking cocoa
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon milk
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave or in a small saucepan on top of the stove. Note the T.O.H recipe insists on only using butter.
  • If using saucepan remove from the heat.
  • Add cocoa and mix well. Stir in sugar. Add milk and stir until smooth. Add peanut butter and mix well.
  • Drop by teaspoonsful onto wax paper.
  • Flatten tops and shape into 1-inch patties.
  • Refrigerate until serving.
  • note mine must be chilled to get the right texture but of course I just may be rushing things along.
  • Also if it starts to get too thick you can add a bit more milk but do so carefully. It will cause problems with it setting up right. I would add by 1/8 teaspoons Stir see if it helps if not then add the next 1/8 [like adding liquid to baking mixtures] It will also help a child understand about adding.

Categories     Dessert

Time 30m

Yield 5 Dozen

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup butter, at room tempurature
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
3 cups powdered sugar
1 egg white
water
food coloring

Steps:

  • Cream together the butter and sugar. Then add the eggs and vanilla, and mix until thoroughly combined.
  • Gradually add in the dry ingredients, putting in the flour a bit at a time, until the dough is all mixed.
  • Divide dough in half, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least an hour.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Roll out dough to 1/4″ thick, and cut into rounds.
  • Using a straw or the tip of an icing bag, punch holes where the buttonholes would be.
  • Bake for around 10 minutes, or until the edges are just turning golden.
  • Remove the cookies from the baking sheet, and allow to cool completely, else the icing will run off.
  • Mix the icing by beating into the powdered sugar the egg white, and just enough water to make a runny, pourable consistency - you may need to experiment a bit with this to get a great, workable batch.
  • Tint to desired colors with food coloring.
  • To ice the cookies, place one or two cookies at a time on a long, flat knife.
  • Hold the cookies over the bowl of icing, and spoon icing over, making sure to get the sides covered.
  • Allow the excess icing to drip off, then transfer the cookies to a rack over paper to catch the drips.
  • Repeat until all the cookies are covered.
  • Let cookies dry for several hours (if you can wait!).
