If you cannot find extra-dark cocoa powder (though Hershey's Extra Dark cocoa powder is usually available at most well stocked grocers in the U.S.) you can substitute dutch processed, though the color and flavor will not be quite as rich.Ms. Humblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06960224421093634330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434548298509198554.post-719792985229853142010-07-15T13:43:20.501-07:002010-07-15T13:43:20.501-07:00Pardon the ignorance, but is extra-dark cocoa powd...Pardon the ignorance, but is extra-dark cocoa powder the same thing as Dutch-processed?

They were definitely best right out of the oven though. Don't have a mixer and they still came out beautifully (although my arms are still a little sore). I also added a little sea salt to the tops for a little extra sweet/salty punch.

The heat from the simmering water and steam below will warm the chocolate enough to melt. <br /><br />Chocolate and direct heat don't always play nice, it can scorch easily and turn into a grainy mess. So, gap between the top pan (or bowl) and the water acts as an insulator to keep the temperature favorable for melting chocolate.Ms. Humblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06960224421093634330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434548298509198554.post-89371942700278938022010-07-08T13:51:20.404-07:002010-07-08T13:51:20.404-07:00if you are taking these cookies to the car dealer ...if you are taking these cookies to the car dealer to soften up the sales people, I think it just might work...good luck.

My grandmothe...Interesting the question about eggs. My grandmother made the most wonderful ginger molasses cookies, and of course over the years never had to look at the recipe or measure anything. I called her once when I was a young bride and asked for the recipe; she recited it immediately, and I made them...and they were all wrong. I got her cookbook...and it didn't work. Obviously the recipe had varied a little bit as she scooped and tossed in ingredients, and I wasn't able to go cross-country to watch her actually make them...and then she died. I despaired that our family would never taste those wonderful cookies again. <br />Fast-foward more than a decade, and my eight-year-old is making cookies from a recipe. (I started letting her "cook" as soon as she could stand up at her little table and push a potato around in a pan with a spatula.) I scooped up a finger-full of dough and stopped dead in my tracks. "You made G'anny's ginger snaps!" I cried. "How did you do that?" <br />"I made this recipe, but I forgot to put in the eggs," she said. Well, she baked them up and they were perfect G'anny's ginger snaps. And now I have an actual recipe for them...without the eggs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2434548298509198554.post-87628276947560049102010-07-07T06:04:33.544-07:002010-07-07T06:04:33.544-07:00As we say here around the office, "CHOKKIT!!&...As we say here around the office, "CHOKKIT!!"<br /><br />Mmm, yummy.

As you probably know the Soccer world Cup is taking place in our country at the moment and I was thinking as you are such an artistic person it would be absolutely fantastic if you could honour us with a recepe that commerates this great event.

This cookie batter is fairly soft and easily workable by hand.<br /><br />cfexrun, <br /><br />This recipe really relies on the eggs as both a binder and a leavening agent. <br /><br />As for substitutions, this is an area I really don't have much experience in. I know there are egg-less egg substitutes on the market for vegans... I suppose if those work in your average chocolate chip cookie recipe, they would do the job here as well. <br /><br />ChocoMilk,<br /><br />Yup, you can certainly customize the cacao levels to your own taste. Use dark chocolate chunks instead of white, etc. <br /><br />linda,<br /><br />We've had those trays around here for years. I can't remember exactly where we found them.
