Ooh, I like the sound of raspberry...I never think to add fruit to chocolate, it's a real blind spot of mine

I'd eat tf outta that. The smitten kitchen has a chocolate caramel cheesecake recipe I've made a few times and it's absolutely phenomenal. You make caramel with your sugar and then melt your chocolate into it along with some sour cream and incorporate it into the cheesecake batter. The flavor is amazing, chocolatey af with a really great caramel flavor throughout. Being cheesecake it's not terribly light, but there is still an odd lightness to it. Almost like a chocolate caramel mousse cake or something.

I'm trying to figure out how to modify the classic Toll House chocolate chip cookie recipe to get flat, spread, rippled cookies. My wife grew up on those and she's quite fond of that style. Oddly enough, I'd get those growing up sometimes from that recipe (and sometimes not) and my mom prefer that style too. However, if I make the cookies from that recipe, I don't get that effect. Okay, there was one time it happened and I had used margarine. Both sides of the family were doing these in the 80s and 90s, so I had a theory we were all paranoid about butter, so I tried margarine. That seemed to work, but only once. When I tried it again, I didn't get the spread. I was thinking of reducing the flour and switching to cake flour next as an experiment. Another change in process has been using a disher for portioning the cookies. Traditionally, we'd just slide the dough off a spoon, and I can imagine starting out with a taller cookie ball just mechanically prevents them from spreading as much.

I made some amonia cookies a while back and those things spread like crazy. Wish I had a recipe for them but it was so much experimentation...

For what it's worth, that's the last thing I intend to try for making them. That was not something none of us ever had to do 25+ years ago.

They are chewy with crispy edges and soft fragile middles when they first come out of the oven, but they do set up when cool. Looking at the toll house recipe, I use less flour (240g) and instead of brown+white sugar, I use all white sugar (300g) and a tablespoon of molasses. I also bake them at 350°F. The rest is the same. The ones shown here are the large oxo disher size (same as using ¼ cup measuring cup) and baked for 12-14 mins on silicone mats. They spread like this straight out of the mixing bowl as well as after aging in the fridge. E: this is a half sheet tray, for scale E2: had wrong sugar weight cocoavalley fucked around with this message at 00:15 on Jan 30, 2024 |

Yeah, if you want a flatter, more spread-out cookie (which will probably also ripple) you want more sugar to less flour, basically.

cookie spread is also pretty readily influenced by dough starting temp. colder dough, less spread and vise versa

Made the King Arthur 2024 recipe of the year chocolate chip cookies. Really peculiar texture, like someone hollowed out a normal chocolate chip cookie and replaced the inside with a moist cake or something. Anyone else made it? My version didn't look much like the pictures (way more domed and higher, less ripple, and tapered edges instead of sloped), so I'm wondering if it's supposed to taste like this or not. e: Now that I'm on my pc, here are a couple of pictures. They were in the oven maybe 30 seconds too long but that really only affected the edges, I think. AnonSpore fucked around with this message at 06:47 on Feb 14, 2024 |

Can anyone here pipe worth a drat? I hate piping, because I'm so bad at it. I want to make a cupcake of this guy: and I'm trying to figure out how to do his head; it's basically a plague doctor mask. Seems if I knew what I was doing, could pipe it with one tip maybe? I'm envisioning piping a large glob, then pulling the tip back to make the beak...that should work, right? But I'm not sure how to make the beak pointed. But then just pipe some black dots for his eyes, and I've got his head. Then wrap around his head with a petal tip to make his hood...then fill out the rest using a leaf tip to simulate feathers God dammit I hate piping (I wish I was better at it )

Hmm, that may work though I question my ability to make it look good. Reminded me I have pallet knives, maybe they could work too...
