Saturday, August 31, 2013 – In the last 4.5 years, I’ve made a lot of chocolate chip cookies. But this is the first time I’ve made double chocolate cookies. (Or hell, the first time I’ve made chocolate cookies.)<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So why double chocolate and why now? Well, I originally made honey cookies for the PAX Cookie Brigade. But PAXers have very simple tastes. Honey cookies weren’t very popular, but chocolate chip cookies are super popular. But I didn’t want to make regular plain old chocolate chip cookies. So I decided to learn how to make double chocolate cookies.<\/p>\n

And by learn, I mean improvise. I took my standard chocolate chip cookie recipe (or the latest iteration anyway) and added 40g cocoa powder.<\/p>\n

As it turns out, cocoa powder makes the dough much thicker and inhibits spreading, almost like a flour substitute. I’m not sure if cocoa powder can be substituted for flour one for one though. For the next batch, I kept 40g cocoa powder, but reduced the flour by 20g. Still seems like a normal cookie.<\/p>\n

I could try one for one substitution, but I’m out of days in PAX. Gonna have to postpone this for more cookie experiments.<\/p>\n

Also, the double chocolate cookie dough tastes kind of gingery. Baked goods are weird. (Most of the taste still comes from the chocolate chips though.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
