So, I only got the most incredible compliment today! My BFF told me my cookies were the BEST! She is the best baker I've ever experienced, so hearing from her that the cookies are the bomb means quite a bit of something! (She does tend to exaggerate, but in this case I'll be happy to take even the exaggerated compliment).
Following the trend started yesterday, the one about recipes in mysteries by Diane Mott Davidson, I offer this . . . the (possibly exaggerated) bomb cooking recipe.
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) of brown butter burned so that there is dark brown fond scraped off the bottom of the pan, then cooled to solidify again.
- 1/2 cup of Criso
- Cream the above with 1 and 1/2 cup of light brown sugar and 1/2 cup of white sugar
- Add 1 and 1/2 tsp of vanilla and two eggs beaten
- Sift 2 and 1/2 cup flour with
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp (fresh) baking powder, and
- 1 tsp (fresh) baking soda
- Then, add to the sugar mixture by spoonful.
- Add dark chocolate chips and red and green M&M's, bake at 350 till golden, then take them to work.
The only thing I might try next time is to add an extra egg yolk. I've read that makes them more doughy. I also considered melting chocolate and dipping the bottoms into it (or maybe half of the whole cookie), but I figured that would be too messy to transport. We shall see with the next batch. But, thanks for the inspiration Diane Mott Davidson
