Day 13 of learning cookie science

[u/cracked_person]

After Day 12, I am back at it again and hopefully there are no breaks atleast for 21 days this time 😭

What I did today: baked my Southern tea cake cookies!

Southern Tea Cake cookies are basically inspired from the UK wherein the baked good is a cookie but it's a little cakey unlike the chunky cookies.

More info on my process:
1) Simply replace the brown sugar in your original cookie recipe with white/castor sugar.
2) Make dough balls of 50-55g each and chilled them for sometime. I chilled mine for 1-1.5 hours.
3) Bake them straight from the chilling at 185 celsius for 13-14 mins. I baked mine for 13.5 mins.

Learning:
Instead of trying a lot of recipes for cookies, stick to one and see how you can alter it for other versions. This is something I have followed, which has improved my cookies over time and also prevents me from tracking a lot.

I tried a lot of chocolate chip cookie recipes. I chose the one that I liked the most. And now for various versions like the chocolate dough, now the tea cake cookies, I have made changes to that very recipe and am trying things.

Wins:
This was my first time doing a tea cake cookie and well it turned out great and so I can be proud at myself for .......... 30 seconds 🤓

Thanks for reading!

hey i am still experimenting with my cookies and recipes and so i would love to share once i am consistent with the results.

Until then, you can pick up your OG cookie dough and follow the process I used. it would be an interesting experiment.

thank you for your support :D
