Each January a guy in our ward organizes a stake-wide winter clothing drive for the homeless. Tomorrow is the day the clothing is distributed on the streets and they like to have plenty of food, refreshments, and hot chocolate to share as well. I signed up to bring a treat and was left with a question: where do I find a relatively simple recipe with a high yield that is also delicious? I think the answer is obvious. So I checked to make sure I had the molasses, butter, and shortening on hand. I had a total of four cookie sheets rotating through the convection oven and used the HFN sugar coating method with a Tupperware container. Each time I reached into the bowl to ball up more dough, I was amazed that the dough did not appear to be decreasing. It was as if Elijah had blessed my mixing bowl due to my willingness to share cookies with the homeless. Final yield: over 7 dozen. Minus a dozen that my wife and I will eat by the time we drop them off today.

I'm making a run at these tonight. You're right, there are a lot of instructions. My wife's comment when I read the recipe to her was "sure, I'll give your pretentious cookies a try." I have to admit thought the first batch looks pretty good.Originally posted by falafel View PostComment

Cookies.jpgOriginally posted by falafel View Post
Not the best photo, but there they are. The crazy detailed instructions really did turn out a cookie that was slightly crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. One of the better-textured cookies I've ever made. The first batch ended up very soft in the middle and I don't like my cookies doughy. So on subsequent batches I increased the convection bake period to 8 min and it seemed to do the trick.
The dough in these cookies is very sweet by chocolate chip cookie dough standards. So much that I was limited to 2 instead of my usual 8 or 9 cookies consumed when I bake. Being uncultured Americans, we prefer milk chocolate so we rarely have semi-sweet chips on hand. This is one case where I wished I had them and I think they would make a better and less overwhelmingly sweet cookie. Pretty good cookie overall but not my favorite chocolate chip recipe. If you do give them a shot let me know how they are with the semi-sweet chips.Comment
