Re: COOKING
I didn't realize I was nearly out of sugar when I decided I wanted cookies, so I was just really happy when what I had left filled my measuring cup that I dumped it in the bowl, filled the cup up with my packed brown sugar, dumped that in the bowl, added the butter and commenced the beat-down. The recipe called for 3/4 cup of each type of sugar.
My measuring cup was 1/4 cup, which I noticed when I went to measure out the flour. So I dumped the last dredges of sugar into the bowl, but it wasn't even enough to warrant adding more brown sugar. And since I had already added the full butter/egg combination, I couldn't very well cut them back, either.
So, I just added a little less than the required amount of other ingredients (except chocolate chips -- always go full chocolate chip) and got to stirring. I actually ended up with a batter that tasted okay (if a little floury) but I wasn't even confident about it's ability to hold up as cookie drops. So, I pulled out a loaf pan, poured it all into that and let it bake until it looked okay.
And it ended up being a great little cookie loaf, that I mostly ate in sticks. It wasn't super-sweet, but it didn't need to be. I had thoughts of taking the crumbs when I was done and fashioning a cookie crust for a banana-pudding pie, but I never did.
Re: COOKING
(Anonymous) 2013-02-27 02:09 am (UTC)(link)A friend and I were making chocolate chip cookies when we were teenagers, and we both added the required amount of milk, so that it was accidentally doubled. In a flash of insight I have yet to replicate in the kitchen, I suggested that we add a bit of baking soda and turn the cookies into muffins. It worked remarkably well!
