I have this desire to make double chocolate chip cookies. And I want to make the perfect one. Yesterday I decided to give it all another try. The results are as follows:
Experiment #1:
I decide to make a mix of 200 gram self-raising flour(flour+bakingsoda), 100 gram cacao, 150grams of sugar, 200 grams of butter (margerine), .1 egg and about 100grams of chocolate chips (70%).
Attempt #1: Horriby dry, can’t say why. but not fit for consumption.
Attempt #2: Added 50grams of butter, the mixture got a lot more sticky, results where less dry but nothing specia.
Attempt #3: by now the ammount of dough shrinked considerably but I decided to add another egg. Result: quite eggy cake like chocolate chip cookies. not bad at all. Ofcourse at this point I’ve got no idea what the right ammounts are
Attempt #4: Added more flour as number #3 was really sticky, result: more cookie like cookies. Also not bad, but a bit bitter. And not a clue on how to reproduce. I fail at science.
Experiment #2:
Attempt #1: 200 grams of self-raising flour, 150 grams of granulated sugar, 250 grams of butter, 100 grams of cacao, 2 eggs and 100 grams of chocolate chips (70%). Result: Good structure, but not very tasty, still a bit dry and bitterish.
Attempt #2: Added another 100 grams of sugar. Result: Sweet. :) Structure is quite good although they stay fluid quite long after taking them out of the oven.
