Cookie Question

[Xstatic1]

It's not something I'd do every time, but man, they are good though. As for the OP, use butter.

holy crap! did u do something similar to this:

^ 1/2 cup bacon fat/grease (chilled) is mixed into the dough!

 

[Skillet49]

In my chocolate chip cookies, the butter to shortening ratio is 1:1. The taste very good and are nice and chewy throughout the week. I'm pretty certain that brown sugar to granulated sugar is also 1:1 ratio.

Soften butter by taking it out of the refrigerator a while before you start mixing. It should be soft and flexible but not too soft.

order of adding: mix butter w/shortening until smooth, add sugars, add eggs and vanilla, add dry ingredients, add chocolate chips (and nuts if using).

^ (bold) most definitely!



recipe, please? pretty please?




i've added instant pudding to cookies before (saw the recipe on Allrecipes). 'twas meh.

Recipe was the one on the back of Nestle toll-house chip bag, as mentioned I just flavored the butter by melting it with the pecans and the addition of the hand cut Dove chunks..

Negative. I didn't make them, but I believe the guy fried up some premium bacon, drained it, then chopped it up and integrated the bits into the cookie dough. We had all kinds of snacks yesterday, but these things flew off the table. Not everyone got one. Some of us had... more than one.... :whiste:

I love the Nestle Toll House cookie recipe. I make these from time to time and they are always a huge hit.

god damnit I hate baking. fucking measuring and mixing and shit, ugh

no way these cookies will be worth the effort. but they still better be damn good. ovens are preheating as we speak

 

[slayer202]

I'm never baking again.

Add a couple of drops of REAL vanilla into the mix to bring out flavor.
there are many different varieties. the best is the ones that you can smell through the sealed cap. We use 1 ltr bottles brought in from Mexico. You have to shop around to find markets that either carry or will order for you.

For the coffee question; a tablespoon of coffee made with filtered water will help out.

you could say that

waste of some valrhona chocolate...

Didn't want to create another cookie thread, but I am curious if anyone knows of a good cookie recipe for soft and fucking amazingly delicious cookies that one could cut into shapes? (I remember going to this place once and having the most mouth orgasming cookies ever... I never got the recipe unfortunately or even the type, but I've been on the search ever since for something like them)

Walnuts are good in chocolate chip cookies.

What went wrong or what tastes weird?

Or is the effort not worth it?

 

[edro]

I have heard you can use honey instead of sugar, 1:1.
I have never risked trying it though.

Baking is a science. Not good at baking? Not good at science.

i started out making Toll House (so they have a special place in my heart), but Mrs Field's recipe is better. i'll post pics and the recipe probably tomorrow.

u could've started with something easy, like a brownie mix. Betty Crocker has an awesome mix! throw in some chocolate morsels and bing, bada, bing.

don't give up on baking just yet!

my fave is nielsen massey, which cost a little bit more than mccormick's. u can find 'em in select grocery stores.
