    Handle the Heat - Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies

    Boston Girl Bakes - Chocolate Crinkle Cookie

This week we are making the chocolate crinkle cookies.  Today is Tuesday and we are making the dough today.  We are following the recipe exactly.


I was ready with my apron.


I had everything laid out.


Mixing


Sealed.  The dough will refrigerate over night.

I think I like making cookies this way.  The dough is made and chilling, the dishwasher is going, all ingredients are put away.  I tend to get tired of baking cookies and start making the cookies bigger and bigger.  Tomorrow we bake! 

It's Wednesday and we are baking!


I started out so motived.

 

I first discovered - don't put so much powder sugar on.
Second, I learned I wasn't baking them long enough.
Then I figured out why!
The recipe called for a 1 inch cookie scoop and I was using 1 1/2 inch scoop. 


I figured out my new time and baked the cookies.
They are wonderful.

I doubled this recipe because it said it made 16 cookies.  So now I have about 50 cookies.  I should not have doubled the recipe.  
 
It was also was my first time using a cookie scoop.  I will be buying different scoops before we bake next week.  Usually I just use spoons but we are trying follow the recipe exactly.

The cookies are great.  I wish I could share!
