Uncategorized Leave a comment

For game five against the Bruins tomorrow, I asked Rob what to make and he suggested chocolate chip cookies.  So these use a combo of browned butter and regular room temp butter, and a tsp of active yeast.  

We are one win away from our first playoff series win in 19 years!  Very exciting!

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbs vanilla
  • 2 tbs water
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Directions – after you have browned 1/2 cup butter, pour into bowl and set aside.  In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda and yeast.  Using a pasty cutter or fork, cut in 1/4 cup butter.   Set aside.  To brown butter bowl, add sugar and brown sugar, then egg, water, and vanilla.   Combine with flour bowl.   Mix in chips.  Scoop out 1/4 cups dough and chill a few hours.  Preheat oven to 375.   Line a cookie sheet with nonstick liners or parchment paper.  Stagger cookies on sheet.

I wanted to bake to celebrate the US men’s hockey team gold medal game victory, but there is also a super winter storm coming and I am staying at the Doubletree hotel near work tonight, and time is of the essence.  Rob asked for doubletree cookies.  I found the recipe put out by doubletree and tweaked it.   Another higher level treat will be made at a later date for our US hockey  men.  Hoping we don’t lose power so the treat can be made later this week!!!

The game was stressful.  So much play was in our end.  When Jack’s game winner went in, I couldn’t believe it!  And it was so wonderful to see the late Johnny Gaudreau honored and that 2 of his kids were on the ice for the team picture.

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into your measuring cup so you get the right amount.  Chill the scooped out dough a few hours.  And, preheat your oven  before baking. 

These bake at 300 degrees, per doubletree.

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup plus 1  tbs brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup bread flour
  • 1 1/4 cups flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbs cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup oats (either quick or rolled)
  • 2 cups chocolate chips

Directions – in a food processor, place oats, flour, baking soda, salt and cornstarch.    Process 1 minute.  Set aside.  in a bowl, cream butter, sugar and brown sugar.  Add eggs and vanilla.  Blend in oats mixture.  Fold in chips.   Scoop out 1/4 cups dough.  Chill an hour or 2.  When ready to bake, preheat oven to 300.  Line a cookie sheet with nonstick baking liners or parchment paper.  Stagger cookies on sheet.  Bake 20 to 23 minutes.  Cool completely.  Store in covered container.
