It’s the time of year where I need to make a shit ton of cookies. This is pretty much the recipe you’ll find on the back of any chocolate chip bag, but with a few modifications.

Stuff you’ll need:

Flour (2 1/2ish cups)
Sugar(3/4 cups)
Brown sugar(same)
Baking Soda(1 teaspoon)
Salt(1 teaspoon)
Butter (2 sticks)
Eggs (2)
Vanilla (1 teaspoon and a bit)
Chocolate Chips(1 1/2 bags)

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°

Step 2

Mix together flour, baking soda and salt.

Step 3

Mix sugars and butter.

Use a mixer if you have one for the next part.

If you don’t have one(like me) mush with a spoon. Then use your hands and mush more thoroughly until you have a wad of sugar and butter.

Add vanilla. I always go a little heavier than 1 teaspoon. And then maybe pour another spoonful for myself.

Step 4

Things get messy from here on out.

Add your two eggs.

And mix.

Then add flour mixture.

And mix.

Add chips(or whatever else you want to throw in). Never satisfied with one bag cookies, and through various trial and error attempts, I’ve discovered 1 1/2 bags is the optimal amount of chips.

Mix.

You’ll end up with gooey dough like above. Bag instructions will tell you to dispense and bake at this point. If you were to do so you’d end up with flat,crispy cookies.

If you want soft,chewy cookies add more flour.

No determined amount. Just add a little at a time until you get a workable, less sticky doughball.

Step 5

Dispense!

Bake for about 9 minutes.

Times can vary, but they are done when the edges just start to brown.

Centers can appear gooey and that’s okay. Any longer and you get a hockey puck.

Step 6

Let cool and perform flexibility and yumminess test.

Pass

Hockey pucks are love. Hockey pucks are life

I don’t currently have plans for cookies, but I *am* planning to make Old Fashioneds at some point and to mix up large quantities of egg nog and some Klingon war nog. Also, might make a pie.

But hockey pucks are not cookie.

You called your cookies a shit-ton because if you set a chocolate chip on the counter it looks like a poop emoji, right?

Agrajag > ottermann 12/13/2016 at 11:18

Wait.... has that been a chocolate chip the entire time?

“Add vanilla. I always go a little heavier than 1 teaspoon. And then maybe pour another spoonful for myself.”

Rules of Vanilla Club :

1. Never use imitation

2. Never use imitation

3. If someone says “Stop” when you’re pouring, even the recipe, you keep going

No, you feed them to a goalie

If you saw me you’d know I need less cookie and more hockey

The KLI has several archived recipes from experiments (I think off Usenet) for attempts at Bloodwine and War Nog. I may have to try several to find out what works. I sense a lot of bitters and ginger and vodka in my future.

I just hold the spoon out and keep pouring until I feel like stopping.

Your steps are confusing and incomplete. Where’s the “screw all this effort, pull tube of frozen cookie dough out of the freezer and eat it raw” step?

Agrajag > Shane MacGowan's Teeth 12/13/2016 at 12:18

Oh, I totally ate some raw cookie dough. But did not want to promote the eating of raw eggs.

Actually, stirring with a spoon (and not using a beater) is the proper way to make cookies. Over-stirring butter will make your cookies more cake-like.

Thanks! Glad I didn’t spend that money.

We also made chocolate chip cookies this past weekend, along with 5 other varieties.

I ate a sufficient quantity of raw cookie dough to give myself a sour stomach.

GIMME GIMME GIMME GIMME GIMME.

It’s times like these I really miss my last apartment’s counter space. Le sigh.

My favorite cookie. I can go through way too many of these in one sitting and not even be tired of eating them.

One of my favorite things about college, way back when, was my mom would fill a Tupperware container with these when I was on my way back to school. And I wouldn’t tell anyone I had them...

And a happy Trebuchet Christmas to you, too. I do believe I should deliver my presents that way - so much cheaper than UPS.

Not in Hawaii - that’s a gekko turd! Safe baking practices are required!

OK. Good cookie tech, nice writeup tech.

But I noticed some one handed egg opening, yes? Had to open a case or two in your past? Like say at Country French restaurant where they did Hollandaise from scratch?

Thanks!

The one handed technique is just something I picked up from my Dad. He was a cook at one point.
