Cookie experiment

Making:

Playing around with gluten-free sugar cookie mix to make chocolate cookies.

Here's what I have:

Immaculate honestly delicious Gluten-free sugar cookie mix

2 eggs

1 pack Cream cheese

1 stick Butter

1/4 cup Hershey's chocolate powder

10 Dove dark chocolate candies, chopped

1/4 cup Walnut

1 tbsp Vanilla

*The butter, cream cheese and egg were all at room temp before starting.

First I put the candy and walnuts in a food processor and chopped it all up to make a crumbly mixture. For the rest I used a hand mixer and spatula.

Next the cream cheese, butter and eggs were mixed until blended, the tbsp of vanilla was then added.

The chocolate powder and cookie mix were added until a thick whipped batter was formed.

Last the chocolate/walnut crumble was mixed in using a spatula until well blended.

To bake I used a small convection oven at 350 degrees non convection. Bake for 10 mins.

The cookies!

These have a light, very cake like consistency and aren't very sweet. I was shooting for this because I normally pair cookies with a sweet drink.

To add sweetness one of the following would work:

*2-3 tbsp maple syrup

*1/4 cup Sugar

*1/4 cup Sweet/Milk chocolate, tempered

- to replace the coco powder.

If any of the following are added you just need to make sure you mix until the whipped consistency is reached. You could also dust them with confectioners sugar after baking.

I've done a similar cookie using GF cake mix as well that version typically doesn't need additional sugar.

I store the batter in the fridge and bake a few cookies daily over the span of a week.

Bacon butter!

Making: Today I'll be making bacon butter. Whenever I make bacon I save the grease. Now that I have enough it will be turned into batches of bacon butter. I used about 2.75 sticks of butter total. Cut into jars then I let them sit until the butter was close to room temperature. The bacon fat I have collected (Stored in the refrigerator) was heated in bits over a double boiler until liquified but not too hot. The melted bacon fat was poured over the butter. You can use a strainer to get rid of and chunky bits and then mixed until well incorporated. The smaller jars have just over 3 oz butter. The bigger jar has 4.3 oz butter. Here are the finished jars. These will be stored in the fridge and used to cook veggies and sear meats. You could also put herbs in the jar for different flavors. - Kris
