I was able to kick off the
cookie baking a little earlier today and I hit my first hurdle – it took us 18
days for me to burn our first batch of cookies.
You’d think after 18 days you wouldn’t make this mistake but it
happens. The recipe calls for a 400
degree oven and I think I may have started out that high, that seems high for a
cookie recipe. So we lost about 8
cookies that would have otherwise been delicious. I took the oven down to 380 and reduced the
cook time to 8 minutes.
I said it before but there
are a lot of cookies coming through this kitchen so if I can cut the recipe in
half (eggs, etc. work out) then I usually do.
I cut this recipe in half and had I not lost the 8 cookies we would have
still had about 32 cookies. The only
change I made to the ingredients was I used Hot Mexican Style Chili Powder
instead of regular Chili Powder.
These cookies do give you
the taste of a good mug of hot chocolate with a finish of the chili
powder. I do believe in good quality
Cocoa – so I used Ghirardelli brand Unsweetened Cocoa. These cookies are not spicy, in my
opinion. I would definitely make these
again.
The Slomkas finally joined
the Cookie Joy experience and responded with a one word e-mail, Wow!
