Today we're making all different kinds of cookies using one "master" dough - slight tweaks yield triple chocolate, macadamia nut/coconut/cranberry/white chocolate, coffee-toffee, and pretzel/m&m/butterscotch/kettle corn/butterfinger madness cookies!

    That first cookie I'd like to dub "The Movie Theater Floor" cookie.
  • @shiitalke
    Babish touching the cookies repeatedly despite knowing they were too hot is among the most relatable things he has ever done

    "you just need a very powerful handmixer" - I am a student on a budget, this dough is gonna see some mediocre fork whisking and that's it. Bit of hand kneading if I'm feeling generous.

    I am 100% cooking these cranberry ones this week

    "babs...wheres the chocolate?" Never thought babs would be my next favourite babish word.
  • "Chocolate? Did you say chocolate?" "Yes sir, with or without nuts?" "CHOCOLAAAAAAATE!!!"
  • @MorpheousXO
    I wasn't asking "Where's the chocolate?" I was asking "Where's the peanut butter!!!?" XD

    "These barely lasted 48 hours." Dude, they wouldn't even last 48 minutes in my house.:_BabbyLaughing:

    Babish: “Babs, where’s the chocolate?” Me + the fish from Spongebob: “Chocolate? Did you say Chocolate?!”

    When the cookies come out of the oven, drop the pan onto the counter from about 24". This will knock the air out and somehow "densify" them into being even more chewy. Don't know the science-y explanation for this, but I picked this up several years ago and it's my favorite way to make cookies.

    In Australia we call those cookies, we call the hard ones biscuits.

    Andrew, serious question: How do you stop yourself from eating the butter-and-sugar stage of the batter?
  • @711stevether
    I think it'd be worth doing a basics episode or series on equipment. Like how every oven isn't the same, top rack vs bottom, getting a thermometer to check that the set temp matches actual, when the recipe says bake for 30, bake for 15, then 10, then 5 until done, rotating trays , etc. Another on stove tops, different types of pots and pans and their use, seasoning, maintenance, what "on low" means, what a simmer is. Knives and their use, technique. I think there's a lot of content there (and a lot of plugs for your products...), and something you picked up naturally but a lot of amateurs don't know out of the gate when they follow recipes exactly but get bad results. Food for thought.

    I love how he still calls out how thankful he is in videos. It is humbling. Thanks for the videos Andy!

    Between this and YSAC's fudgesicle video, my sub feed just isn't playing along with my diet today

    Pro tip - a teaspoon of vanilla extract makes the browned butter flavor even BETTER - even in the chocolate cookies !
