Current Events > When's the last time you had a cookie and what kind was it?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I have no cookies so I want you all to eat a cookie tonight for my sake.

Oatmeal raisin Friday at work, free from craft services

Awwww. My sympathies to you. I was just thinking about those really big cookies they used to sell in the school cafeteria here. Did anyone else have them? They were kinda like this:

mmm, looks scrumdiddlyumptious!

I participated in a volunteer event last Thursday. They provided us lunch which included a chocolate chip cookie.

It might have been Tate's.

I've had some Little Debbies since then. They consider some of them to be cookies per the packaging, but they're wrong.

An Oreo earlier today.

All of you cookie eaters make me very proud.

made snickerdoodles just a couple hours ago
had one with tea

I had an Aldi Oreo-style cookie recently

chocolate chip cookie like 9 days ago.

Raspberry tart cookie thing, last week

About 2 months ago I think, white chocolate macadamia cookie iirc.

Last week. It was from this pack of frozen chocolate chip cookies I got from Amazon Fresh. Best grocery store cookies I've ever had. Still not better than from a bakery, but damn good.

A couple of weeks ago i think. It was a bag of mini-chocolate chip cookies.

Okay. I'm a big fan of cinnamon, but I've always thought snickerdoodles were a little bland. But I hadn't had one in a long time and they're pretty easy, so I figured why not.

I made peanut butter cookies a couple of days ago. The ones where you put the fork mark in them. So I've been eating on them.

Chocolate chip cookie from Marianos yesterday. They arent the best but not a bad deal.

Chocolate espresso cookie from my gf's bakery.

Theres a cookie speciality store near me that makes mind blowing snickerdoodles, and you should know Im NOT a snickerdoodle fan, at all. But these cookies literally shocked me with how good they were. Ima def get em again someday.

anyway the point is, snickerdoodles can be good but it comes down to the right recipe I think.

Apple cinnamon snaps.

They went great with tea. They were so good I had like 10. >.>

A while ago. Hence why I'm making cookies (I have to wait for them to set):

They are dark chocolate and toffee cookies.

I had a box of dollar store thin mint like cookies. Not at once, I mean. They were the last cookies I had though.

Had some mini chocolate chip cookies about 15 minutes ago.

Thanks! (b ' ')b

I've made it before (I can see if I can dig up a photo of the baked cookies if you want) and it is by far the best cookie I've ever had. That said they are super rich and having something to drink is practically mandatory.

Yeah I wouldnt mind seeing if you can find a photo. Haha. Are they hard to make or is it a standard recipe?

I was able to find an old one for you. Luckily I still had one from back when I was showing them to some family members (hence the higher resolution): https://i.imgur.com/b9vjtIE.jpg

And they are pretty easy to make, but I wouldn't call them a standard recipe. They are more a mash-up of several different cookies that go for the "richest outcome" with the decisions. The cookie "base" is an extremely rich dark brown sugar + browned butter cookie that has a very molasses-y taste that is then mixed with dark chocolate and and a rather rich butter toffee. The entire thing can basically be boiled down into "make toffee -> brown butter -> mix everything" but if you aren't used to any step I guess it could be tricky. Browning butter is what I would argue is probably the "hardest" bit, but that is more that you absolutely must be paying attention rather than being hard as butter goes from "browned" to "burnt" lightning fast (though if you haven't browned butter for baked goods before I strongly recommend it as it adds an excellent rich, buttery taste to anything you are using it for).

Last cookie I had...was a face cookie. I forget what they're called in other areas, but they're like a soft vanilla (non-crumbly) cookie with a thick layer of frosting on it, plus maybe some sprinkles. The "face" part comes from the decoration part, I guess.

Lately I have been keeping flour, sugar, butter and eggs on hand. Cookies are really easy if

you set the better and eggs out to warm first

you just get the flour inside the dough without really mixing it in

you use parchment paper on the cookie sheet

you set a timer and take cookies out when it goes off.

*** Cookies just need to collapse a bit when removed from the oven.

I baked some chocolate chip cookies just this afternoon

Cadbury Breakaway (technically a biscuit but close enough)

Thursday of last week. I baked snickerdoodles for a potluck at work.

Last Friday. A regular customer brought us homemade chocolate chip cookies. Apparently she bakes for us at least once a month. Really solid cookies.

Chocolate chip prob a few days ago

Eat it for breakfast sometimes

Lol, I'm fine with giving you mine. It's not like it's a secret recipe or anything. :V

For the toffee you'll need 1 stick of unsalted butter, 1 cup of light brown sugar, and 1 tsp of salt (kosher or iodized doesn't really matter). Throw all of it into a pan and put it on medium heat until it reaches 300F. Then pour it on a tray (use parchment paper to make sure it doesn't stick) and throw it in the freezer to harden. Smash it into pieces once it has done so (which should happen about the time that it's called for in the recipe).

Next make the browned butter with 2 sticks. This is something that you kind of just need to know what you are looking at so if you haven't made it before it up on Youtube or something as there really isn't much to go by besides looks and smell (it has a divine nutty aroma). Once browned throw two ice cubes in it to cool it down (plus hydrate, though that is something that matters for the batter latter).

Finally make the dough with 1/2 cup sugar, 1 1/2 cup dark brown sugar, 2 tsp espresso powder (a good secret ingredient to have for any baked good that involves chocolate, btw), 2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp baking soda. Once the dry ingredients are mixed add the brown butter, 2/3 eggs (it depends on size), and 2 tsp vanilla extract. Once those are mixed add 2 1/2 cup flour (all purpose), ~1 cup of dark chocolate chunks (it's more a "play it by ear" thing and you kind of just add as much as you think you can get away with ;P), and the toffee chunks. Once all of the bits have been folded into the dough scoop it into little balls and throw them into the fridge to set for 1-2 days (2 days is the best, but it's really just that you want to let it set for a period).

Once the dough has set throw it into the oven at 300F for 18-20 minutes (the outside should be just browning, for your visual timer). Once out of the oven shape it a bit with a spatula and sprinkle some sea salt. Let it cool until firm, and then it's good to go.

Let me know if you need more info, this is just me transcribing my recipe.

I got one for free at Whataburger with their reward program, I have a shit load of points there. It was a chocolate chip one.

It crossed my mind, but I think it's some other kind.

i knocked back an entire family sized bag of chips ahoy cookies in one sitting a few days ago

I finished the last of my dark chocolate chip oatmeal cookies several hours ago :(

I just had an oatmeal cookie/ice cream hybrid thing.

Half dipped in dark chocolate shortbread macadamia nut cookies.

I love cookies but that many would give me a gut ache.

Last week, something the chef at work made. I forget what kind.
