The other day I really wanted a chocolate cookie. Like…REALLY wanted. So I made some.
I found this recipe from the meaning of pie and gave it a try. I believe the original recipe was from Cook’s Illustrated. As an aside, if I can ever find a way where I can work at America’s Test Kitchen…I think I would gladly quit my job with THEM and work there instead.
The results were just what I was looking for. Very chocolatey. Very dense. Very chewy. It’s a bit like a brownie in cookie form. The only alteration I made to the recipe was to add in about 1.5tsp of cinnamon to the dry ingredients, because I really like chocolate and cinnamon pairings. I definitely recommend the cinnamon. I might even add more cinnamon next time. (Yes, I was using the Saigon cinnamon.)
I got about 30 cookies out of the batch because I was using a size 24 scoop. The next smallest one I have is a size 50 and that was too small. I like my cookies on the larger size.
The cookies themselves look really nice. They’re nice and craggy and crackly on top and have a nice even chocolatey brown to them.
You should definitely give this recipe a try.
Random moosages as I see fit.
