Great American Cookies® White Chunk Macadamia
Great American Cookies® White Chunk Macadamia
When Arthur Karp shared his grandmother's favorite chocolate
chip cookie recipe with Michael Coles, the business partners knew they had a hit on their hands. They opened their first
Great American Cookies store in 1977 in The Perimeter Mall
in Atlanta, Georgia. Now with more than 350 stores in the chain,
these cookies have quickly become a favorite, just begging to
be cloned. The chain bakes the cookies in convection ovens at
the low temperature of 280 degrees for around 16 to 17 minutes.
But since most of us don't have convection ovens and may have
a hard time getting the oven temperature to this odd setting,
we have made some adjustments. Just be sure, when you remove
the cookies from the oven, that they appear undercooked and
only slightly browned around the edges. This will give the
cookies the perfect chewy texture when they cool.
1/2 cup butter (1 stick), softened
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup coconut flakes, finely minced
1 egg
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 ounces solid white chocolate, cut into chunks
1 cup macadamia nuts, chopped
1. Cream together the butter and sugar in a large bowl with
a mixer on high speed.
2. Add the coconut, egg, milk, and vanilla and mix well.
3. In another bowl combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder,
and salt.
4. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and mix until dough
forms. Mix in the white chocolate and macadamia nuts.
5. Preheat oven to 300 degrees while you let the dough rest for
30 to 60 minutes in the refrigerator.
6. Measure out about 2 1/2 tablespoons of the dough and form a
ball. Drop each ball of dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet
about 3 inches apart and bake for 12 to 14 minutes. Do not overbake!
Cookies should come out of the oven appearing slightly browned,
yet undercooked. When cooled the cookies will be soft and chewy
like the original.
Makes 16 to 18 cookies.

GrandMa's® Peanut Butter Big Cookies
When these cookies are cool, be sure to seal them up
real super duper tight in something like Tupperware or
a Ziploc bag. That's the way to keep these puppies moist
and chewy like the original GrandMa's Big Cookies. In fact,
the real product claims to be the only national cookie brand
that guarantees the freshness of the product or double your
money back. That's very big of the current manufacturer,
Frito-Lay, which purchased the GrandMa's Cookies brand from
General Mills back in 1980.
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1/2 cup Peter Pan peanut butter
1 1/4 cups packed dark brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
2. Beat shortening, peanut butter, brown sugar, egg, vanilla,
and salt together in large bowl until smooth.
3. In a separate bowl combine the flour and baking soda. Slowly
add the dry mixture to the wet mixture while beating.
4. Roll 3 tablespoon-size portions of the dough into a ball in
your hands and press to 1/2-inch flat on an ungreased baking
sheet. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes. Be careful not to overcook,
or the cookies will not be chewy and you may negatively impact
the full enjoyment potential of the product.

Good Seasons® Italian Salad Dressing Mix
Here's a clone for the instant dressing mix you buy in the
little .7-ounce packets. When added to vinegar, water, and
oil, you get one of the best-tasting instant salad dressings
around. But what if you can't find the stuff, or it is no
longer sold in your area, as I've heard from so many? Or maybe
you want to save some money and make a bunch of your own?
Just use the recipe below to make as much dry mix as you want,
and save it for when you need instant salad satisfaction.
I've used McCormick lemon pepper in the recipe here because
it contains lemon juice solids that help duplicate the taste
of the sodium citrate and citric acid in the real thing.
The dry pectin, which can be found near the canning supplies
in your supermarket, is used as a thickener, much like the
xanthan gum in the original product.
1 teaspoon carrot, grated and finely chopped
1 teaspoon red bell pepper, finely minced
3/4 teaspoon McCormick lemon pepper
1/8 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
2 teaspoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons dry pectin
pinch ground oregano
1. Place the carrot and bell pepper on a baking pan in an oven
set on 250 degrees for 45 to 60 minutes, or until all of the
small pieces are completely dry, but not browned.
2. Combine the dried carrot and bell pepper with the other
ingredients in a small bowl. Mix can be stored in a sealed
container indefinitely until needed.
3. When ready to use, pour 1/4 cup of vinegar into a cruet or
jar. Add 3 tablespoons of water, then the dressing mix. Seal
and shake vigorously. Add 1/2 cup of oil and shake until well
blended.
Serves 8 to10.

GrandMa's Cookie Company was founded back in 1914 by Foster
Wheeler, but it wasn't until 1977 that the company introduced
the popular Big Cookie. This large, soft cookie comes two to
a pack and is offered in several varieties, including oatmeal
raisin. Now you can bake up a couple batches all your own with
this spiffy kitchen clone. Just be sure not to overdo it in the
oven. You want these cookies soft and chewy when cool - just
like a happy grandma would make 'em -- so take them out when
they are just beginning to turn light brown around the edges.
1/2 cup raisins
1/3 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1 egg
1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups oats (not instant)
2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup raisins
1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
2. Combine 1/2 cup raisins with water in a food processor and
blend on high speed for about 1 minute or until very smooth.
3. Combine this raisin puree with the vegetable shortening, egg,
brown sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl. Mix well with electric
mixer until smooth.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour with the oats, baking
soda, cinnamon, and salt. Pour this dry mixture into the wet
mixture and mix well until ingredients are incorporated. Mix in
1/2 cup raisins.
5. Roll 3 tablespoon-size portions of the dough into a ball in
your hands and press to 1/2-inch flat on an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake for 18 to 20 minutes. Be careful not to overcook, or the
cookies will not be chewy. Store in a sealed container.
Makes 16 to 18 cookies.

Hershey® PayDay® Candy Bar
Hershey® PayDay® Candy Bar
In December of 1996, Hershey Foods snagged the U.S. operations
of Leaf Brands for a pretty penny. This added several well
known candies to Hershey's already impressive roster, including
Good & Plenty, Jolly Rancher, Milk Duds, Whoppers, Heath, and
this delicious peanut roll, which we can finally clone at home.
The center is sort of a white fudge that we can make by combining
a few ingredients on the stove, then getting the mixture up to
just the right temperature using a candy thermometer (you've got
one, right?). Once cool, this candy center is coated with a thin
layer of caramel, then quickly pressed onto roasted peanuts.
Looks just like the real thing! This recipe will make eight
candy bars. But it's up to you to make the dental appointment.
Centers
1/4 cup whole milk
5 unwrapped caramels
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1 teaspoon peanut butter
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
20 unwrapped caramels
1 1/2 teaspoons water
2 cups dry roasted peanuts
1. Combine all ingredients for the centers, except the powdered
sugar, in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir often as the
caramel slowly melts. When the mixture is smooth, add 3/4 cup of
powdered sugar. Stir. Save the remaining 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
for later.
2. Use a candy thermometer to bring the mixture to exactly 230
degrees, stirring often, then turn off the heat.
3. When the temperature of the candy begins to drop, add the
remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar to the pan, then use a hand mixer
on high speed to combine. Keep mixing until the candy cools and
thickens and can no longer be mixed. That should take a minute or
two.
4. Let the candy cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes, or until it
can be touched. Don't let it sit too long - you want the candy to
still be warm and pliable when you shape it. Take a tablespoon-size
portion and roll it between your palms or on a countertop until it
forms a roll the width of your index finger, and measuring about
4 1/2 inches long. Repeat with the remaining center candy mixture
and place the rolls on wax paper. You should have 8 rolls. Let the
center rolls sit out for an hour or two to firm up.
5. Combine the 20 caramels with the 1 1/2 teaspoons of water in a
small saucepan over low heat. Stir often until the caramels melt
completely, then turn off the heat. If you work fast this caramel
will stay warm while you make the candy bars.
6. Pour the peanuts onto a baking sheet or other flat surface.
Using a basting brush and working quickly, "paint" a coating of
caramel onto one side of a center roll. Quickly turn the center
over, caramel-side-down, onto the peanuts and press gently so that
the peanuts stick to the surface of the candy. Paint more caramel
onto the other side of the roll and press it down onto the peanuts.
The candy should have a solid layer of peanuts covering all sides.
If needed, brush additional caramel onto the roll, then turn it
onto the peanuts to coat the roll completely. Place the candy bar
onto wax paper, and repeat with the remaining ingredients. Eat
when completely cool.
Makes 8 candy bars.

Harley Davidson Cafe® Harley Hog Sandwich®
Harley Davidson Cafe® Harley Hog Sandwich® In late September 1997, the Harley Davidson Cafe celebrated its
grand opening in Las Vegas. This is the second Harley Davidson
Cafe, with the first one located in New York City, just a short
walk from the first Planet Hollywood. Both locations serve up
some delicious "road food" amongst the awesome collection of
vintage Harley's and Harley Davidson paraphernalia. I think this
sandwich is one of their best, and this recipe comes right from
the source. The Pork Producers Council got the recipe from the
cafe's chef, and featured it in a promotional pull-out that ran
in a restaurant trade magazine in 1995. Now the secret can be
shared with you.
6 to 8 lb. boneless pork butt, tied
Rub
1 cup Kosher salt
1 cup course ground black pepper
1 cup paprika (sweet Hungarian is best)
2 cups hickory wood chips
1 cup apple wood chips
Hog Sauce
2 large onions, chopped
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
5 1/4 cups (42 ounces) canned tomatoes, with juice
3 cups cider vinegar
1 3/4 cups ketchup
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup brown mustard
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon coarse black pepper
12 large round rolls
1. Combine all of the rub ingredients. Coat the pork butt evenly
with mixture, shaking off any excess.
2. Soak wood chips in water 30 minutes. Place pork butt in a
smoker on rack at 220 degrees for 8 hours, with smoke going for
2 hours. Let it cool slightly. Break the meat apart with your hands.
3. Sauté' onions in oil in heavy saucepan until translucent. Add
the remaining ingredients and cook until mixture is thick and coats
the back of a spoon. Puree the sauce and let it cool. (Sauce can be
made 2 to 3 days in advance and refrigerated.)
4. Combine the pork and the sauce (to taste) in a heavy saucepan.
Cook until it is heated through.
5. To serve: Pile the pork on the rolls. Serve with french fries
and cole slaw if desired.
Yields 12 servings.
Todd's Tidbits
You can also smoke your pork in a charcoal barbecue, such as a
round Weber Grill. Just arrange the charcoal around the edge of
the inside of the grill. When the coals are hot, place the soaked
wood chips on them, and then place the pork on the center of the
rack above the coals. Cover. Cook the meat for 2-4 hours or until
the internal temperature comes to 150°-165°.

Heinz 57® Steak Sauce
In the late 1800s Henry John Heinz established the slogan
"57 Varieties," which you can still find printed on Heinz
products even though the company now boasts over 5700 varieties
in 200 countries. Today Heinz is the world's largest tomato
producer, but interestingly the first product for the company
that was launched in 1869 had nothing to do with tomatoes; it
was grated horseradish. It wasn't until 1876 that ketchup was
added to the growing company's product line.
Tomato is also an important ingredient in this tangy steak
sauce. But you'll find some interesting ingredients in there as
well, such as raisin puree, malt vinegar, apple juice concentrate,
and mustard. And don't worry if your version doesn't come out as
brown as the original. Heinz uses a little caramel coloring in its
product to give it that distinctive tint. It's just for looks,
though, so I've left that ingredient out of this clone recipe.
Besides, I've found that the turmeric and yellow mustard will help
get this version close to the color of the real deal.
Raisin Puree
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup water
1 1/3 cup white vinegar
1 cup tomato paste
2/3 cup malt vinegar
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon yellow prepared mustard
2 teaspoons apple juice concentrate
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon turmeric
1. Make the raisin puree by combining the raisins with the water
in a food processor or blender. Blend on high speed for 1 minute
or until the puree is smooth. Measure 1/4 cup of this puree into
a medium saucepan.
2. Add the remaining ingredients and whisk until smooth.
3. Turn heat up to medium high and bring mixture to a thorough boil.
Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 1/2 hour or until
thick. Let sauce cool and then refrigerate it in a covered container
for at least 24 hours.
Makes 3 cups.

Hard Rock Cafe® Tupelo Style Chicken
The world's most famous theme restaurant pays tribute to the
birthplace of Elvis Presley with this chicken finger appetizer
dish, and two tasty dipping sauces. It's probably best they
chose to name the dish after a city, rather than after the King
himself. "Elvis Style Chicken" sounds like a concoction that
should include bananas, peanut butter and bacon grease.
4 to 6 cups vegetable oil
Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 teaspoons prepared mustard
2 teaspoons honey
pinch paprika
Apricot Dipping Sauce
2 tablespoons Grey Poupon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon apricot preserves
2 tablespoons honey
1 cup corn flake crumbs
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
1 1/4 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
dash garlic
1 egg
1 cup milk
1 cup flour
1 pound chicken breast fillets
1. Preheat oil in a deep fryer to 350 degrees.
2. Make the honey mustard dipping sauce by combining the
ingredients in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate. Make the
apricot dipping sauce by combing those ingredients in a medium
bowl. Cover and refrigerate this sauce as well, until your chicken
is ready.
3. Prepare the breading by combining the corn flake crumbs, crushed
red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, cumin, salt, paprika, onion
powder, and garlic in a medium bowl.
4. Beat the egg in a medium bowl, add the 1 cup of milk and stir.
5. Pour the flour into another medium bowl.
6. Slice each chicken breast lengthwise into strips approximately
1/2-inch wide.
7. When the oil is hot, bread your chicken by first coating each
strip with flour. Dip the chicken into the egg/milk mixture and
then back into the flour. Dip each chicken strip back in the egg/milk
mixture and then in the corn flake crumb mixture. Be sure to coat
each chicken piece thoroughly with the corn flake crumbs.
8. Fry 6 to 8 coated chicken strips at a time in the oil for 4 to 5
minutes or until the chicken is golden brown. Drain and serve
chicken with the dipping sauces on the side.

Hard Rock Cafe® Pig Sandwich
Take a big honkin' bite out of one of these and you'll soon know
why it's the Hard Rock Cafe's most popular sandwich. According
to the menu the pork is hickory smoked for 10 hours. But since
we're impatient hungry people here, we'll cut that cooking time
down to under 4 hours using a covered grill and carefully
arranged charcoal. Just sprinkle wet hickory chips over the hot
charcoal arranged around the inside edge of a grill (such as a
round Weber), and let the smoking begin. You can certainly use
an actual smoker if you've got one, and go the full 10 hours with
this puppy. But while you're still waiting for your sandwiches,
the rest of us will have already dragged our full, round bellies
over to the couch for a nap.
By the way, make your marinated cabbage a day ahead of time,
if you have the foresight.
Marinated Cabbage
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
4 cups thinly-sliced cabbage
4 cups hickory smoking chips
Spice Rub
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons cracked black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon ground sage
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 boneless pork loin roast (3 to 4 pounds)
vegetable oil
Sauce
2 15-ounce cans tomato puree
1 cup white vinegar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke (hickory)
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
8 Kaiser rolls
1. Make the marinated cabbage at least one day prior to building
your sandwiches. Like cole slaw, this garnish needs some time to
develop in the fridge. Combine the vinegar and sugar in a medium
bowl. Add the cabbage, stir, cover the bowl and store it in the
refrigerator until you are ready to make the sandwiches.
2. Put the wood chips in a bowl and cover with water. Let the wood
soak for at least 1 hour. Light the charcoal after it has been
arranged around the inside edge of your grill. You don't want coals
directly under your pork. When the coals are hot, drain the water
from the wood chips and sprinkle the chips over the top of the coals.
You should now have smoke.
3. Combine the spices for the rub in a small bowl and mix well.
4. Rub some vegetable oil over the surface of the pork roast.
Sprinkle the spices over the entire surface of the roast.
5. Place the roast in the center of your grill and put the lid on.
Let the pork cook for 3 to 4 hours or until the internal temperature
of the roast reaches 175 to 180 degrees.
6. As the pork cooks, make the sauce by combining the ingredients in
a medium saucepan over medium/low heat. Let the sauce simmer for 15
to 20 minutes, then cover and remove from heat. Set this aside until
your pork is ready.
7. When the pork is done, remove it from the grill and let it sit to
cool for 15 to 20 minutes or until you can handle it. Now you want
to tear the meat along the grain, making bite-size strips of shredded
pork.
8. Put the shredded pork into a large saucepan over medium heat. Add
2 cups of the sauce to the pan and stir. Keep the rest of the sauce
for later to serve on the side. Cook the pork for 15 minutes or until
it is heated through.
9. Grill the faces of the rolls and stack about 1 cup of pork onto
the bottom half of each roll. Add a rounded tablespoon of marinated
cabbage on top of the pork, add a tablespoon or so of extra sauce
on top of that, then cap off each sandwich with the top half of the
roll. Serve with clones for the Hard Rock's cole slaw and baked beans
on the side, if desired.
Makes 8 sandwiches.
why it's the Hard Rock Cafe's most popular sandwich. According
to the menu the pork is hickory smoked for 10 hours. But since
we're impatient hungry people here, we'll cut that cooking time
down to under 4 hours using a covered grill and carefully
arranged charcoal. Just sprinkle wet hickory chips over the hot
charcoal arranged around the inside edge of a grill (such as a
round Weber), and let the smoking begin. You can certainly use
an actual smoker if you've got one, and go the full 10 hours with
this puppy. But while you're still waiting for your sandwiches,
the rest of us will have already dragged our full, round bellies
over to the couch for a nap.
By the way, make your marinated cabbage a day ahead of time,
if you have the foresight.

In-N-Out® Double-Double®
This is a recipe for making what I believe is the best
hamburger in the world. The secret to duplicating this
and other fast-food burgers is getting the beef patties
real thin...about 1/4 inch-thick. If you like, you can
press the beef thin onto wax paper and freeze the patties
ahead of time. This makes them easier to work with on the
hot pan.
1 plain hamburger bun
1/3 pound ground beef
Dash salt
1 tablespoon Kraft Thousand Island dressing
1 large tomato slice (or 2 small slices)
1 large lettuce leaf
4 slices American cheese (Singles)
-or- 2 slices real American cheese
1 whole onion slice (sliced thin)
1. Preheat a frying pan over medium heat.
2. Lightly toast the both halves of the hamburger bun,
face down in the pan. Set aside.
3. Separate the beef into two even portions, and form each
half into a thin patty slightly larger than the bun.
4. Lightly salt each patty and cook for 2-3 minutes on the
first side.
5. Flip the patties over and immediately place two slices of
cheese on each one. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
6. Assemble the burger in the following stacking order from
the bottom up:
bottom bun
dressing
tomato
lettuce
beef patty with cheese
onion slice
beef patty with cheese
top bun.

Houlihan's® Houli Fruit Fizz®
Houlihan's® Houli Fruit Fizz®
Restaurateurs Joseph Gilbert and John Robinson needed a name
for the new restaurant they planned to open in the Country Club Plaza of Kansas City, Missouri. To make the job easy,
they kept the name of the location's previous tenant -- a
clothing store called Houlihan's Men's Wear -- and opened
Houlihan's Old Place in 1972. This was at the time when
T.G.I. Friday's was popularizing casual dining, so the concept
was an instant hit. That early success led to more Houlihan's
opening in other states, and another multi-million dollar chain
was born. The Houli Fruit Fizz is a simple blend of fruit juices
and Sprite that can be served with a meal or enjoyed on its own.
This drink is one of Houlihan's own classic, signature recipes.
1 12-ounce can cold Sprite
1/2 cup cold pineapple juice
1/4 cup cold orange juice
1 cup cold cranberry juice
1. Combine all of the ingredients in a pitcher and pour into two
glasses over ice. Be sure all of the ingredients are cold when
combined.
