Ymm, Cookies

[devildeac]

Because amusedcupcake's other, not better, half treated her to chocolate chip cookies on Valentine's Day, this thread's for her.

What's your favorite to put in the cookie jar?

Ok, I'll go first:

My wife's homemade oatmeal chocolate chip with pecan/pee-can/pee-cahn delicacies.

Nuts have no place in cookies. Prove me wrong.

I think he just did.

Oh. Well nevermind then.

Half dozen or dozen of my wife's above-mentioned cookies for a 4 bagger or 6er of the Ghost in the Machine IPA you mentioned earlier this week. No bets, don't wanna get the cookie thread locked. Your move.

Game's off of course if there is a nut allergy involved. I'm in this for health, fun and enjoyment, unless there's a Defenestrator involved.

I need this recipe! Unless it's a secret or something...

What he said! (Along with the cake recipe - I'm going to owe Mrs. DD a lot of wine at this rate.)

She hasn't found the multi-layer sour cream coconut cake recipe yet but I'll remind her this weekend. The cookie recipe should be pretty easy. Stay tuned. Mayber one glass of wine will suffice along with a Tefnut for the middle man. (yes, shameless )

I love chocolate chip cookies. Good ones, bad ones, whatever. Of course I love the good ones more. I try not to buy them because when I do, they don't last (and since I've been labelled pre-diabetic by my doctor for a couple of years now, I'm trying to cut down on sugar intake). I could literally eat them every day.

Well said, ClemmonsDevil, same goes for brownies. I rarely like nuts in my sweets (plus I really don't like Pecans at all and Almonds and cashews don't exactly do it for me either). Basically if I'm eating nuts as a snack it'll be peanuts (and I eat peanut butter every day).

If your cookies don't have any chocolate in them, you're a communist.
If you put raisins in your cookies, you should be in prison.

Fight me.

A few years ago, someone posted the Duke Chocolate Cookie Recipe. There was a step in there I wasn't familiar with - dissolving the baking soda in hot water. I never mentions how much water. Any thoughts?

Not being much of a cookie maker/baker, my WAG would be a tablespoon or two, just enough to make it non-powdery and non-cakey, but not enough to make it watery.

Agree except that one of my favorite cookies is a good Snickerdoodle.

I'm ok with nuts in some cookies - Chocolate Bittersweets, Pecan Tassies, Wedding Cake cookies, etc. Sometimes in brownings. But never in fudge!

Pecans get along well in almost any other environment, even beer (just not in chunks/pieces, of course ).

I'm a fan of speculaas (Dutch almond cookies) myself, although almost never make them at home and just buy them, instead. Crisp, spiced, and delicious, and no almond pieces, so the "nut in cookies" argument does not truly apply. Besides, are almonds even really nuts at all?

No chocolate, though, so I guess I'm a commie. That's OK. I've been called worse.

So my specialty, I have been told, are my Oatmeal Raisin Craisin cookies. I use gourmet thick-cut oatmeal. Cup of raisins, cup of craisins. They have lots of fiber. My dad called them Colon-Blow cookies. I always bake them to take on vacation. Keep us regular. And they're delicious, which makes them dangerous b/c you want to keep eating them.

Oh, yes, I have considered it. I can't post here what our slogan was going to be.
