Finding the Ultimate while experimenting with Chocolate Chip Cookies

July 25, 2024

Over the past few weeks I’ve experimented with cookies made with walnuts and semisweet chocolate. Two versions were for a friend who’s a diabetic, so I used brown sugar substitute erythritol by Swerve and whole wheat flour which gives less glycemic load than all-purpose flour. The first of those used some almond flour with the … More Finding the Ultimate while experimenting with Chocolate Chip Cookies

July 16, 2019

Munchies were featured in a recent episode of Martha and Snoop’s cooking show and Martha made a kitchen-sink cookie that included potato chips.

An experiment in gooeyness is all this is. A low-fat, chewy chocolate chip cookie with a marshmallow baked onto the top of it.

October 18, 2016

A lovely neighbor gifted me with two bars of Seattle’s own Theo Chocolate, a pure and dark variety, which, in this house, means “Bake something with it.” Some people have suggested a deficit in the planned cookie menu for MsChef in Seattle upcoming shops, namely, a chocolate chip cookie. I’ve resisted because that cookie is … More Whoop-tee-doo Chocolate Shard Cookie, V.1, Seattle’s Theo Chocolate
