Spiced Brown Butter Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookies. I am having a hard time finding my words today. I am not sure why, but lately I find myself fighting writers block. It happens to everyone. I know I am not alone, but as I sit here struggling to be compelling I find myself feeling kind of isolated. Cone of Shame comes to mind. Now, before you think I am crying, “Oh, poor pitiful me,” realize that I could have just as easily not posted anything today and saved you all from my whining. If I am being honest, and I endeavor to always be honest, I did not post this recipe last week because of this very issue.

Occasionally, I crave a paper thin cookie – the only kind my dad really likes – when I’m aching for dessert with a raging sweet tooth that just won’t quit.

Other days, when I’m reaching for comfort and sometimes feel like eating my emotions, I look for the perfectly thick, chewy cookie, still gooey from the oven, plucked from it’s baking sheet in pieces because I lack patience. And on a rare occurrence, I want to find my cookie inside of things: ice cream, cinnamon rolls, brownies, and bars… to which I will inevitably pick out each piece of cookie so precisely that it appears they were surgically removed by a world class surgeon. A dessert surgeon, that is. This temperamental relationship I share with cookies proves just what a lunatic I am when it comes to food. Bizarre? Now you know. So… I made cookies.

Chocolate chip cookie comparison. Everyone is always talking about what the best chocolate chip cookie recipe is. Last year, it seemed like everyone was making the Best Big Fat Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie. A few months ago, Cooks Illustrated’s Thick and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookie was all the rage. These days, people are testing out the New York Times recommendation to chill the dough for 36 hours before baking. Until recently, I stayed out of this discussion. I knew that my favorite was unpopular among food bloggers – good ol’ Tollhouse, with just a bit more flour. But eventually, curiosity got the best of me. Because, let’s face it, just about all chocolate chip cookies are good (and certainly the ones I was making would be), Dave and I decided we would need to do side-by-side comparisons to discern differences between the recipes.

I wanted to publish this entry with conclusive results. But I just don’t think it’s going to happen. My favorite was Alton Brown’s The Chewy. The Chewy (from Alton Brown) Heat oven to 375F.

Banana Cream Cookies. This house needs an intervention. We (Mr & Mrs Dessert For Two) are addicted to work. We lack the ability to sit still, relax and take it easy. We work hard Monday through Friday at our day jobs, and then on the weekends we tackle to-do lists that are often the length of a Southern poet’s musings on forbidden fruit and the opposite sex. If I told you everything we did this past weekend, you would faint. We did watch a football game or two, but we were up during the commercial breaks working on something. It has got to stop.

Luckily, this weekend we’re headed to Chicago for a little getaway. I made these cookies last weekend because I had a craving for a banana cream pie and banana pudding.

Enjoy! © 2012, Evil Shenanigans – Baking & Cooking Blog. Apricot Cookies. Cookie Recipes. Chocolate Chip Cookie Day: Celebrate with 5 recipes! Happy National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day! Whether you're more of a crisp and crumbly kind of fan, or you prefer yours soft and chewy, this all-inclusive celebration requires only one thing: a sweet tooth. Oh, and plenty of chocolate. Ever wonder how the chocolate chip cookie came to be? The cookie was created in the 1930s by Ruth Wakefield at the Toll House Inn in Whitman, Mass. According to Nestle , Wakefield added bits of chopped chocolate to a batch of butter cookie dough, expecting the chocolate to melt into the cookies as they baked.

So what makes a cookie crisp or chewy? Eggs are also important, whole eggs helping to puff up the cookie and soften texture. Type of sugar can affect texture -- brown sugar in a recipe will often help cookies spread and stay moist after baking. Leaveners: In addition to providing lift to the cookie, leaveners (baking powder and soda) are often added to neutralize the acidity of the dough, helping to brown the cookies as they bake.

But enough science! Homemade Oreos. Fact #1: I made Oreos. I didn’t think it was possible, either. Fact #2: They tasted just like the real ones.. on crack. So much better. So. Much. Fact #3: They are extraordinarily better for your body than those blue plastic wrapped gems. (Goodbye gross high-fructose-I-don’t-even-know-this-looks-like-my-chemistry-homework ingredients.) Fact #4: You will become 700 times more popular if you bring a batch of these to school/work/anywhere else where humans congregate. Sorry about all the paparazzi.
