I Owe It All To John D'Oh

Thank you, thank you ... no, really, you're too kind ... try the veal, we'll be here all week. Chocolate Crinkle Cookies By rolling the dough balls in plain sugar first, the confections' sugar does not soak in so much and stays on the surface better. Corn syrup in the dough helps prevent crystallization to produce the soft chocolate center. Oil greases flour proteins to produce a tender to the point of gooey chocolate center. Makes 3 to 5 dozen, depending on size 1 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (8.2 oz/232 g) spooned and leveled bleached all-purpose flour 1 1/2 teaspoons (7 g) baking powder ˝ teaspoon (3 g) salt 8 ounces (227 g) semisweet chocolate, finely chopped 2 3/4 cups (19.3 oz/547 g) sugar, divided 1 cup (79 ml) canola oil 2 tablespoons (30 ml) light corn syrup 2 large eggs (3.5 oz/99 g) 1 large egg yolk (0.65 oz/18 g) 2 teaspoons (10 ml) pure vanilla extract 1 cup (4 oz/120 g) confectioners' sugar In a medium bowl, beat together well the flour, baking powder, and salt, and set aside. Melt the chocolate in the microwave on 50 percent power for 1 minute, stir, and microwave for 15 seconds more and stir. In a mixer with the paddle attachment, beat together 2 1/2 cups (17.5 oz/496 g) of the sugar, the oil, and corn syrup to blend. Beat in the eggs, egg yolk and vanilla. Then on low, beat in the melted chocolate. Add the flour mixture and beat in on low speed. Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate for several hours or overnight. About 30 minutes before you are ready to bake, arrange a shelf in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F/163 degrees C. Line a baking sheet with Release foil (nonstick side up). Take out about one-quarter of the dough at a time to shape. Roll the dough into 1 1/2 to 2-inch (3.8 to 5 cm) balls. Pour the remaining 1/4 cup (1.8 oz/51 g) granulated sugar into one bowl and the confectioners' sugar in another bowl. Roll each cookie dough ball lightly in granulated sugar first, then very heavily in confectioners' sugar. (By rolling in plain sugar first, the confectioners' sugar does not soak in so much and stays on the surface better.) Arrange cookies 2 inches (5 cm) apart on the foil. For crisp cookies, bake 12 to 14 minutes. You can have several sheets of foil covered with cookies ready. When one sheet is done, you can pull off the foil and move cookies to a cooling rack. Rinse the baking sheet with cold water to cool and then slip the sheet under another sheet of foil with cookies on it and get it right back into the oven. Allow the cookies to cool for 2 minutes, then remove to a rack to cool completely. |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

I think a cookie recipe is a very apropos 20K post. Well done. |

Honestly? I thought you and brenda would appreciate it. Also honestly? I didn't have any better ideas. |

It's only significant because we have a decimal numbering system. If we used binary, this would be your 0100111000100000th post, and no big deal. |

We'll just add that one to the "Quirt's Homoerotic Fantasy" file as well. You're dropping hatpins all over the place. |

You know, I've always said that we need to sack up and go Base 36. It's clearly the more dominant of the two numbering systems. |

Well I suppose it's almost as good as a homo-erotic fantasy. I was kind of secretly hoping for something along those lines involving pickled onions. You just can't get decent pickled onions over here. |
