Another baking lab report

[susandennis]

Today was banana chocolate chip cookies from Serious Eats. It's a nice little small batch recipe.

I added the cinnamon. A typo keeps the amount of chocolate chips kind of a mystery and I didn't want too many anyway so I just punted. Probably ended up tossing in a little more than half a cup.

The result is cookies that are actually perfectly delicious!!! In spite of their appearance, they could have used more bake time but, they were delicious even underbaked. I can't taste a bit of banana but the texture of the cookie is surprisingly delightful and I'm guess the banana played a role there.



I scooped out these two when the batter was all mixed to see. I expected them to spread way more than they did.

The rest of the batter is resting in the fridge.



I think next time I might use bakers ammonia instead of baking powder. The internets suggest this might give me crispier cookies. Amazon is bringing me some to try.

Also I mean to toss in some walnuts and totally forgot. Like ljtourist says 'planning "next time" is half the fun!'

And I washed all the dirty laundry in the house and it's all now put away. I am taking the rest of the day off.

Oh, do please post about how you like the baking ammonia? Some of my Nordic recipes call for that, and I've been on the fence about trying it.
