A few days ago I ran across a blog entry that compared a chocolate chip cookie recipe from Smitten Kitchen with Alton Brown's The Chewy. According to blog entry, Smitten Kitchen's recipe is better. I've made The Chewy...it's amazing, chocolate chip cookie perfection. I had to try the Smitten Kitchen version.
Last night the craving hit. Ellie and I agreed that we needed to bake some cookies. We got out the KitchenAid and pre-heated the oven. In went the sugars, butter, eggs and more. So far, so good. Then we got to the part of the recipe that reads "Refrigerate for 36-48 hours."
WHAT?
I don't know about you, but when I get a craving, it's generally NOT two days in advance.
I see another flaw in this recipe. Who on this green earth can leave a bowl of chocolate cookie dough in the fridge for two days without grabbing a bite here and there throughout the day? When I finally get to bake these little suckers, there may only be four or five tablespoons of dough left.
Anyway, I'll let you know how they turn out...on Thursday.
I am with you, a craving means NOW! Can't wait to see what you girls determine, Smitten versus Alton.
ReplyDeleteI go with Alton, the guy knows how to cook and really make treats and food taste out of this world.
ReplyDeleteI think at this point th eonly thin gyou cna do is to make the other cooke and bring both to Book club so we can do a blind taste test. This is very "Help" inspired and something this non-baker would enjoy very much. I am just saying . . . that is really the only solution I can think of!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. Look at all the typos in my last post. That is because I was so excited at the though of choc. chip cookies.
ReplyDeleteI'm craving chocolate chip cookies now. I think I'm going to try the chewy...can't wait for the others to ripen in the fridge:) Let us know how they turn out!
ReplyDeleteI made the chewy yesterday and they were awesome! I agree Nancy, we should have a taste test on Friday.
ReplyDeleteI'm all for choc chip cookies!! But I'm waiting on the Breakfast Cookie I challenged you with...?
