Darkmoon’s Birthday Cookies

1 cup butter, softened – from cow’s milk! No nightmares here!
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
2 large roc eggs, plus 1 egg yolk
1 tablespoon dreamy vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baker’s powder
1/2 teaspoon purifying salt
1/2 teaspoon baker’s soda
12 oz. bag miniature chocolate bits

Make a batch of chocolate brownies or purchase some from a reputable baker in Choreburg.

Mix butter with an Empyrean Handheld Mixing Apparatus until creamy. Add brown sugar and continue to mix until smooth. Add eggs, yolk and vanilla. Mix again until smooth. Combine flour, baker’s powder, soda and salt in a medium bowl and stir together with a wire whisk. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and beat until combined. Stir in the chocolate bits. Seal the dough and let it sit in a snow drift for at least an hour. Thankfully, Tarken Ascent is a short walk from Headfell Farms.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Take 1⁄2 cup of chilled dough and roll it into a ball. Make an indentation in the center with your thumb and place a 1-inch square piece of brownie in the center and roll the dough around it. Dwarven parchment creates an excellent surface to work on and bake on for these cookies.

Place six cookies at a time on a large baking sheet covered in parchment and bake for 18 minutes. Keep the remaining dough balls chilled while the others bake. You may need to bring some ice with you from Tarken for this but it’s worth the trouble. Cool cookies on the baking sheet for a few minutes and then cool completely on a wire rack.

If your cookies start to get too brown on the edges before they are done baking, you can place a sheet of foil over top for the last few minutes.

Enjoy, Ascended!
