I woke up early this morning, around 7:30. I had one cup of coffee and decided to do treadmill before work. Got a good walk/jog in, showered, and was still on time for getting things done.
The day was pretty busy and before I knew it, 5pm was here. I felt like baking cookies or something. My work son told me this past weekend he made these bomb ass chocolate chip cookies, and he sent me the recipe. Here's the link. They're called Pan Banging Cookies. I've never heard of this method of baking cookies. My life is changed.
I mean, these cookies. Unbelievable.
You only get about 8-10 of them depending on how big you make them. The recipe says to make about 4 3 inch balls or 3/4 cup scoops of the dough, freeze it, and then bake. The recipe says "trust me," and so I did. I've never heard of baking cookies part way and then "banging" the tray so they collapse and spread.
My buddy Brendo said to take the tray out of the oven and drop it on the counter top or stove top for even "banging," and that was my plan anyway before I started making them. The instructions say to reach into the oven and lift one end of the tray up about 4 inches and drop it.
Nope.
I took the whole tray out and dropped it 3 times on the stove top, put it back in 3 minutes, take it out, do it again.
10 minutes for the first round of baking, and 3 removals and drops. Perfect! Success!
