I tried my hand at baking tonight, first time EVER, cause im addicted to chocolate chip cookies that are insanely good (and gluten free!)
so here is how its supposed to look
recipe:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 large egg
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/4 cup brown rice flour
pinch of fine sea salt
1/4 teaspon baking powde
1/2 cup 60% dak chocolate chips
1/2 cip peacans or walnuts(optional-i opped out)
1. preheat oven 350 line two large baking sheets with parchment paper
2. using wooden spoon cream te butter until smoth beat in the peanut butter then the egg, add the brown sugar, rice flour, salt and baking powder,and stir to blend.
3. stir in the chocolate chips and nuts. the dough will be soft and sticky, drop by the rouded tablepoon onto baking sheets, 2 inches apart using a secon spoon to shape he doughinto a ball and dislodgeit. bake until golden nd just set, 12 to 15 minutes. let stand on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before trnsferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
ok did all that, and before i could get it on the cookie sheet, i felt wierd about the cookies..this is what they looked like in the bowl..
and here are what they looked likeout of the oven
i'd do things different for the next one..first of all, the recipe called for 60% dark choolate chips..i couldnt find them anywhere so I had to go with semi sweet 45%..but the chocolate chips were just not good, it almost tasted like bakers chocolate. it didnt go good with the dough, it made the cookie very very very strong, almost overpowered the peanut butter taste.. the dough itself was really good, if i can do it again with different chocolate chips it might work out reallyreally well. stephen hasnt taste tested it yet, so i dont know if its a hit or not, but for me its 50/50.
