my personal cookie baking hack: fold the parchment paper in half the long way and in half again. Then fold that in half and in half again.... When you open up the paper you have lines for where the cookies dough balls should be without having to think about proper spacing. And thanks for another great recipe.

The way my parchment comes out it tends to roll, so this is necessary anyway just to get it lying flat. Nice suggestion, to space things that way.

Made these today to surprise my husband for Christmas, and they turned out delicious! Very rich and chocolaty. And it made so many cookies. I used a tablespoon to scoop, so each dough ball was just a bit smaller than the ones in the video, and we ended up with 50 cookies! Definitely adding this to my recipe book. Thanks for such a great video!

@flamingoLake 5 месяцев назад

my only gripe is the use of baking soda. Because the dutch cocoa is processed to be alkaline, there isn't the typical acid you get with cocoa powder to react to the baking soda and actually make the dough rise. So the baking soda is having little to no effect, which is also probably why they are "fudgy" on the inside. I would either omit it or swap it to baking powder, but haven't tested that recipe.

@Mufire1991 5 месяцев назад

That... is actually correct. I'm surprised Frank didn't realize

@motorbikesandhacks 5 месяцев назад

Maybe the acidity of the eggs and sugars are enough?

@shaman5433 5 месяцев назад

That was also the first thing I recognized, that the acidity is missing to activate the soda.

@ceralor 5 месяцев назад

The sugar may be acidic enough. It's pure white sugar which is definitely acidic.

Tip: Let the cookie dough rest after you mixed all the ingredients. Let it rest in the freezer for 1 night (or at least 3 hours) and you will get better results. Bake it in preheated oven straight out of the freezer. And I prefer baking powder

@KorriTimigan 5 месяцев назад

Why though? He specifically said you didn't have to do that in this video, can I ask what resting it does? I can cook really well but I cannot bake to save my life, and I don't understand the written and unwritten rules.

@nadus7775 5 месяцев назад

@@KorriTimigan You'll get a better texture if you let the cookie dough rest. Frank talked about crispy outside and doughy in the middle, if you froze the dough you'll get that result. If you froze, the temperature of the inner part of your cookie dough is lower than the outside, so they'll have different texture when bake (contrast)

@doge99-ri4tl 5 месяцев назад

What's gonna happen if you used baking powder instead?

@nadus7775 5 месяцев назад

@@doge99-ri4tl Your cookie won't rise much, because baking soda needs an acid to activate. Baking soda won't do much without acid, and if you add too much it can change the taste. Meanwhile Baking powder is baking soda + tartar (acid). Your cookie will rise more, and it's activated while baking. You only need less baking baking powder compared to baking soda.

@wonderlandriri6490 5 месяцев назад

@@nadus7775 Interesting. I've just lately been learning to cook, and is contemplating to learn baking as well, but I don't have the tools cuz my fam is small, so we usually just buy everything, including food. Do you mind explaining what's the example of this acid to activate baking soda in baking? Because I use baking soda to put my veggies in the water before washing them, cuz I've heard baking soda and salt will help eliminate any dirt and little pests.

I made these last night and while they taste great, they are pancake flat. Would love for them to be a bit puffier/thicker. Any ideas how to adjust recipe to make for a thicker/fluffier cookie?

@jaybrown5399 4 месяца назад

For fluffier cake like cookies, you have to add a little bit less sugar, a little bit less butter, a little bit more flour, and a little bit more than leavener, in this case baking soda. This works with all cookie recipes. Bonus points if you chill or freeze the dough before hand….it solidifies the butter so the cookie flattens less. Enjoy.

@ryanwilhite 5 месяцев назад

My holiday cookies are no-bake fudge cookies. You literally just mix natural maple syrup with a high quality cocoa powder and separate into cookie shapes. That's it! They're SUPER fudgy and delicious. Just make sure you have milk on hand because, like I said, it will be fudgy!
