Either. Half the dough before you put in the chai and try both. Baking is a series of attempts and failures.

look at a snickerdoodle recipe, which is a sugar cookie with cinnamon, and look at spice quantities split your batch into, say, two or three and add different amounts of spices to each minibatch try rolling in sugar + spices, try just putting the spices in the dough, try both Scudworth posted:Baking is a series of attempts and failures.

Hey baking goons I want to get back into baking things like cookies and brownies, but in terms of ingredients I dont want to use butter/margerine/lard, i want to use only brown sugar or honey and not as much as is called for, and whole wheat pastry flour. Yes I want to make less tasty but healthier versions of recipes for me cause I dont eat white bread or butter or refined sugars anymore. I tried this recipe http://overtimecook.com/2015/01/28/oatmeal-peanut-butter-chocolate-chip-cookies-without-butter-margarine/ and white it tasted okay they were more like muffin tops than cookies. Reading this thread showed me that I mixed the dough too thoroughly and I didnt chill it. Any tips for baking with these sucky conditions would be lovely like what is a good substitute for butter.

Well, what sort of fats are you comfortable using? Lard is very healthy, so I'm not really sure what the upgrade from there would be.

Palm oil is right out, if only for environmental reasons. Avocado could work. Not avocado oil, the avocado flesh itself.

Macksy posted:Any tips for baking with these sucky conditions would be lovely like what is a good substitute for butter. I've made several batches of chocolate chip cookies subbing whole wheat flour entirely and no one could see or taste any difference. I've also reduced the sugar in said cookies by up to ⅓ without issue (These were not side by side comparisons though, so there is probably a difference, just not big enough to notice). Butter substitutes though... Probably obvious, but anything that relies on butter as a main flavor component will come out tasting like the substitution. Structurally though, I've used coconut oil or vegetable shortening with decent success in recipes. I was once told that using mashed avocado in place of butter worked great in recipes, so not knowing any better at the time, I tried it in chocolate chip cookies. They came out very moist and cakey (also green) so I chalked it up to an interesting experiment and haven't tried it in any other recipes. (Thinking about it now though, it probably works out pretty well in quick breads or muffins, maybe even some cakes.)

RandomPauI posted:So make chocolate cookies to mask the green? Sorry, you must've posted the avocado suggestion while I was writing mine so I missed it. The main issue I had with replacing the butter in cookies with mashed avocado is that it changed the texture quite drastically - instead of dough it was more like a thick batter. It baked into something like puffy blobs of pancake, instead of flat, crispy on the outside, fudgy cookies that the recipe usually yields. I didn't understand at the time that this is because avocado doesn't melt into a clear oil, and also has a much higher water content than butter (which is why I think it'd work much better in things that are cakey to begin with).

I just remembered, I have cookie mix somewhere in the fridge. I didn't want to mix it up with a different thing I was making so I stashed it there. This was back in September. Its all dry ingredients so it should still be good right?

My landlord got a new oven for me and while it's a big step up for the old one in a lot of ways, it's impossible to have two sheets in there at once. They'll fit alright, but no matter how staggered they are they always block the heat from the bottom element from reaching the thermoregulator thing on the top, causing the oven to immediately start rocketing up to 500+ degrees.

I FINALLY HAVE IT, MY MOM'S OATMEAL CHOCOLATE MnM COOKIE RECIPE, aka Daddy Cookies, because she made them for Daddy, who very politely allowed us to have some as well. Oatmeal Granola MnM Chocolate Chip Cookies INGREDIENTS (in US volume) 2 sticks margarine 1 cup White Sugar 1 cup DARK brown sugar 2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 cups AP flour half a teaspoon of salt 1 teaspoon baking POWDER 1 teaspoon baking SODA. 2 1/2 Cups of Old Fashioned Oats, with extra to adjust dough consistency as needed 1/2 bag of Dark Chocolate baking chips 1/2 bag Mini baking MnMs (or the regular baking kind, depends on what you can get) 1 cup chopped walnuts OR Dried fruit and nuts in any sensible combination, but then they're not Daddy Cookies, and who wants that? DIRECTIONS: Cream Together 2 sticks of margarine, 1 cup white sugar, 1 cup dark brown sugar. Once creamed together, add 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, mix to incorporate. In another bowl, mix 2 cups AP flour, half a teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon baking POWDER, and 1 teaspoon baking SODA. 2 1/2 cups of FINELY CHOPPED old fashioned oats (To chop, just make 2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats, add to blender, blitz a few times till thoroughly chopped but not powderized. Or hit it with a knife a bunch, I don't know, you're all smart people). mix thoroughly and add to wet ingredients. Mix well. Dough should be a firm, moist, hold a round shape, and not be overly sticky. If mixture is too thin and sticky, add in a handful of unchopped rolled oats. Fold in half a bag of chocolate chips, half a bag of mini MnM's, and 1 cup chopped walnuts. Or whatever other mix ins you want, you filthy non chocolate wanter. Or, oh gosh, maybe you're allergic to chocolate, i'm so sorry. Or maybe you're a sentient, finger having dog with an interest in baking. Go you. Dried fruit and nuts could work well. Or just raisins, that's always good. Use 2 large soup tablespoons (or a disher if you're fancy) to make balls of dough. Arrange on non-stick foil (or greased regular foil) on a baking sheet. allow 1.5 inches of space for cookies to spread. Dont crowd! Err on the side of using more trays. Bake 15 minutes at 350f. May have to be baked in batches if not all of them fit in the oven at once, that's ok. check for doneness, cookie should be baked through, but still soft. It will harden somewhat as it cools. The end result will be a nice firm cookie, but with some softness. If overbaked, they'll still be good, but very hard and crunchy, you'll need some milk. Let cool before removing from foil and cramming into mouth, but we know that never works and some end up disappearing. I don't know, blame the cat. limit 3 per day or the krampus will get you.

I haven't made much of anything lately that I haven't already posted here, except SPRINGERLE!  A German lady in my department went back this summer to visit family, and got a stamp for me (at great personal hassle; these are a Christmas thing so they weren't in any stores in July) and heavily hinted that she would like a batch. The inaugural round that she received... was much tastier than it was attractive.  THINGS I LEARNED: 1. That's not a windowpane design, you're supposed to cut them apart (she told me they reminded her of Lembas bread the way I left them, though  )2. Keep the stamp from sticking by flouring the stamp itself with a brush, not by sifting powdered sugar over the top of the dough 3. Yes you can reroll the scraps, it is not possible to overwork this dough the way it is with regular sugar cookies 4. No, really, knead it more and get more flour in there. The design showed up a LOT better on the second batch that was made mostly from rerolled scraps that had flour from the counter mixed in. 5. The base recipe needs to be halved as it makes way too drat much for anything but industrial mixers 6. Use a bit more extract than the recipe calls for; I think the cake flour imparts a slightly... funky taste. If you can get a stamp from a local German market in the next few days, here's a website with a recipe and instructions, get springing!

Not sure where the line between 'cookie' and 'very small cake' is but I made a batch of ladyfingers for tomorrow's charlotte russe. I always forget how delicious, simple and magical they are for having literally three ingredients. It's humid here and they are mostly egg whites and sugar so they got really sticky in a hurry, but they're getting soaked in custard and whipped cream anyway.  James Peterson posted:Ladyfingers

Well, I made my MnM oatmeal cookies, but right as I was taking the last tray out if the oven, two apartments across the complex from us caught on a massive fire. So before I could get pics, I gave most of the cookies to fire rescue and the people who had to evacuate the building.
