Cookie conversion
-
Does anyone know how to convert chewy chocolate chip cookies into crisp, hard ones? My arsenal includes an oven, a toaster oven and a microwave, but sadly, no culinary skills. A prompt (and correct) answer would greatly improve this weekend's coding output. Many thanks. /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | Freeware | Music ravib@ravib.com

Am I missing something here? Why are you killing perfectly good cookies. The horror!
This demographic will quite happily click on shiny things however:laugh:
Found on Bash.org [erno] hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is.

I've always felt chocolate chip (and peanut butter - albeit a poor substitute) cookies should be hard and crunchy, while oatmeal raisin ones should be soft and chewy. But then, I've also been known to extol the virtues of Wonder Bread. (Don't listen to the naysayers who claim Wonder Bread isn't inedible. 'Tis a magical substance, with both texture and taste that can only be described as "heavenly".) /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | Freeware | Music ravib@ravib.com

First I agree with Steve! Steve McLenithan wrote: Why are you killing perfectly good cookies. The horror! So on principle I refuse to tell you how to destroy chewy chocolate chip cookies (natures greatest gift) IMO. Now feel free to make the imitation raisin things cripy. Not knowning softness/size it is a little of a gamble. Try bake at 300 for 5 minutes. You can adjust after that. I do not mind getting old. It beats all the other options that can think of.

This link[^] is the transcript from the cookie episode of my favorite cooking show Good Eats, on Food Network with Alton Brown. In it he talks about what changes to the ingredients and techniques do what to cookies. He highlights three: The Thin, The Puffy, and The Chewy. Good Eats is a wonderful show especially for geek types. AB spends a lot of time going over the why as with the how. Showing techniques so that one may take the basic concept and extend to other dishes. Kinda "teach a man how to fish...". I highly recommend it to anyone.

Duke Leto AtreidesGood Eats is one of my favorite shows. Equal parts cooking show and Mr. Wizards World. If it weren't for AB and Cook's Illustrated I'd be lost in the kitchen.

Duke Leto AtreidesGreat show; lots of fun and practical information. I especially enjoy how he concentrates on making everyday food better. Since I watched an episode where he made pancakes, my daughter wants me to make pancakes for breakfast on Saturday and Sunday, every weekend :cool:.

Yep :) I posted the link some two days back on the soapbox. I thought maybe you were one of the cp-ians who saw it there. Looks like you've been there a long time before though. Its great to kill some time.

Put them in an oven on very low heat (well below 200F, until they are acceptable to you.

delete this;Yeah, that's a great pancake recipe, way better then any of the commercial mixes and just as easy once you make it in bulk. I have a large container full of that stuff and keep buttermilk in the fridge at all times. Its amazing how much of a difference not overmixing makes as well. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
