Way Chocolate Chip Cookies

How much chocolate can you get into one chocolate chip cookie? Probably more than this, but it was still a lot. :)

Stacey's Way Chocolate Chip Cookie Ingredients:

1c + 2 tbs sugar, organic
1 1/4c brown sugar, organic
2 sticks (1c) butter, halfway melted
2 oz coconut oil, organic
1 tbs vanilla bean paste
2 eggs, organic
2c white flour, unbleached, organic
1.5c whole wheat flour, organic
1/4c cornstarch
1/3c unsweetened Scharffen Berger cocoa powder
1 1/4 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp salt
1c semisweet chocolate chips, Guittard
1c milk chocolate chips, Guittard
1c white chocolate chips, Trader Joe's

First, I preheated the oven to 350F. Then I microwaved the butter and coconut oil until the butter was partially melted.  I added the butter and oil to the sugars and then added the vanilla bean paste in my standing mixer.

I turned the mixer on at medium speed until it was combined.  Then I added the eggs and beat it until it was fluffy.

I put all the dry ingredients in the bowl and then put all the chocolate chips on top. I mixed on the "stir" setting in pulses (if you let it go, flour will fly everywhere).  Once just combined, I made 1 3/4" balls of dough and put them on my favorite cookie sheets (these aren't exactly the ones I have, but they're close and still by Wilton) 1.5-2" apart.

I put them into the oven, usually one sheet at a time, on the rack that's just one notch higher than the middle.  I put them in for 10 minutes, rotating 180 degrees at the halfway point, and then removed them from the oven.  Using my temperature gun, I checked the surface of the cookies to make sure they were around 200F.  Then I let them cool on the cookie sheets for another 10 minutes before removing them with a spatula.  The cookie sheets, surface temperature, and letting the cookies cool on the sheets are the keys to cookies that are soft in the middle.
Yummy, yummy, yummy...

Solid Dark Chocolate Almond Hearts

Decided to do a few Valentine's Day orders this year.  I'll make a few more things to fill out my box assortments, but here's the first recipe. Stacey's Dark Chocolate Almond Hearts Ingredients : 24 oz Guittard 64% dark chocolate couverture 11 oz local farmers' market almonds, toasted and chopped Heart Molds I think this recipe has a few too many almonds - I'd probably scale it back to something like 8 oz for next time.  Usually I eyeball it, but I wanted weights for my blog.  I toasted the almonds first for 15 minutes at 350F since the almonds came straight out of the freezer.  Make sure your almonds are around 90F when you add them to your tempered chocolate. Tempering Chocolate (Seed Method) The counter tops were at 62F.  This is important.  If you are tempering chocolate, make sure that the ambient temperature (as well as working surfaces) are less than 70F.  Otherwise chocolate will not temper.  I learned this the hard way the first ...

White Turnip Cake (Law Bock Go)

Every Chinese New Year, my mom and I do some Chinese cooking together.  What a great opportunity for my new blog, I thought. :)  Most of my friends know that I'm just starting my foray into the savory and it's not second nature to me like baking has become (try to ignore my high-altitude and mis-cake chocolate cake posts for now). Usually my mom makes nine-layer pudding (gow chong go), New Year's muffins (fat tay), and New Year's pudding (neen go), and then we make Su Mai dumplings together.  This year my mom still made the nine-layer pudding and the New Year's pudding, but we didn't have time for the Su Mai or muffins.  We talked about how only she and I like eating the muffins so it would probably be a waste, but she said, "I really only want to make them to see if they burst." I thought that was cute.  Bursting fat tay is supposed to signal good luck for the New Year. My mom went to epicurious.com to find our turnip cake recipe. I found this...

Throwing some shade

Ombre Flowers So I wanted to try that new ombre cake frosting trend.  I used whip cream here on an eggless chocolate cake I made for a potluck at work (for those egg-free individuals on my team).  Everyone was sufficiently impressed.  I was a little disappointed at the messiness of the blue/purple end, and I kinda ran out of cream, but it tasted good. Anyway... Eggless Chocolate Cake 2 c sugar 1 3/4 c flour 3/4 c unsweetened cocoa powder 1.5 tsp baking powder 1.5 tsp baking soda 1/2 c sunflower oil, organic 1 c whole milk, organic 1 c boiling water 1 tsp salt 3 tbs flax seeds Roses 2 c heavy cream 1/4c sour cream 1 tsp vanilla ½ c powdered sugar food coloring (if desired) Pre-heat oven to 350F. Soak flax seeds in milk for an hour or overnight (or use flax meal). Blend (I used a stick blender).  Mix dry ingredients. Mix in wet ingredients, with boiling water being last. Pour into cake pan (9x13).  Bake for 30 min, rotatin...
