And here they are! Once again, the dough was not super thick. But as the recipe didn't mention anywhere that it shouldn't be, I didn't worry too much. I baked the cookies for 11 minutes as requested, and they were indeed a golden colour when I removed them. They were also very soft when I took them out. This tends to happen, then I tend to pop them back in for short amounts of time and hope I don't accidentally over do it leading to the crispy cookies syndrome. Not that crispy cookies aren't great in their own right, but sometimes you want chewy. This time I decided to go with the recipe, and so took them out. They remained very soft and melt in your mouth evenwhen cooled. And were definitely handle with care cookies. I prefer my chocolate chip cookies a bit crisp on the outside but chewy on the inside, so next time I will definitely bake for a few minutes more.
But yummy! The Sunday crew at work also really enjoyed them today as well.

I might try Dreena's recipe too, as I made the PPK ones this weekend and I found them to be SUPER oily. I must have the chocchippings.
ReplyDeleteIt happens with so many of the cookies I make that the dough ends up quite runny compared to what the recipe says it should be. When I made the chocolate chip cookies from The Joy Of Vegan Baking they just ran into each other to form a massive baking sheet shaped cookie.
ReplyDeleteThese ones didn't spread heaps in the oven, so they kept their shape and behaved quite well.
Interesting! I hope you weren't too disappointed with them >:o(
ReplyDeleteI've made these three times now (In a week! OMG!).
1st time~ dough too stiff, had to add more oil and maple syrup. But the cookies were crisp outside, chewy inside. Perfect.
2nd time~ I added extra oil and maple syrup from the get go and my cookies ended up soft (but yummy).
3rd time~ practically know the recipe off by heart now, used the wrong flour though, cookies still came out perfect.
I think my results have been variable because I'm not a very precise measurer! Oh, and I whisked the oil and maple syrup together with a fork (which makes it combine and go thicker)before adding it to the flour~ it doesn't say to, I just like the way it mixes!
And I have never timed anything properly in my life! My eyes and nose are my kitchen timers >;op
(todays word verification is 'torcat'!)
Your cookies look perfect! I made these a couple of days ago and I also cooked them for a couple of extra minutes.
