For the "Stones" (Sponge Cake):
Although blarney stones are supposed to resemble the actual Blarney Stone of Blarney Castle, Ireland, the origin of this dessert is unclear. There are many similar cookies that are also called "blarney stones", but this particular recipe is modified with permission from Cookin' with the Clergy, a collection of traditional Midwestern recipes in honor of George L. Bishop and Barbara Denning Bishop [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], compiled by Dolores L. Markey in 2001.
For the Icing:
4 eggs2 cups white granulated sugar1 cup of boiling water2 cups all-purpose flour1 teaspoon double-acting baking powder1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 2/3 cup confectioners sugar6 tablespoons heavy cream1 cup unsalted butter1/2 teaspoon vinegar1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract1 cup finely chopped peanutsHow to Make Blarney Stone CookiesPreheat the oven to 350 degrees (Fahrenheit).Sift the flour together with the baking powder and cream of tartar in a mixing bowl. Be sure that the leavening agents are evenly mixed throughout the flour.In a separate bowl [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], use a whisk to beat the eggs until they are foamy. Add the granulated sugar and beat for approximately 20 minutes.Add the boiling water to the beaten eggs and sugar, while continuing to beat the mixture.Add the flour mixture a little at a time to the water, egg, and sugar mixture, stirring to combine.Add the 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and stir to combine.Spread the sponge cake dough evenly in an ungreased jelly roll pan (10 x 15 inches).Bake for approximately 20 minutes at 350 degrees (Fahrenheit). When the sponge cake is yellow or lightly golden brown on the edges, remove from the oven. Allow to cool before cutting.When the cake is cool, cut it into small squares or rectangles.Place the squares on a cool cookie sheet and freeze for at least two hours (the "stones" are much easier to handle when they are frozen).While the "stones" are chilling, prepare the icing by combining the unsalted butter (melted), powdered sugar [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], cream, vinegar, and vanilla. Spread the crushed peanuts on a plate.When the cake squares ("stones") are completely cold, remove them from the freezer. Carefully frost all sides of the squares (except for the bottom) and roll each square in the crushed peanuts.Place the finished blarney stones on a cookie sheet to set.The finished blarney stones may be eaten immediately, or they can be re-frozen.Enjoy!
Blarney stones, which take their name from an Irish relic reputed to bestow glib speech and good luck ("History of the Blarney Stone", viewed on November 9, 2009), are delicious sponge cake squares that are frosted and rolled in crushed peanuts. These confections are not quite cakes and not quite cookies, but are all delicious and well worth the preparation time they require.
