    That sounds sufficiently decadent as to require confiscation and storing in my office for safe-keeping!
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      Yeah, I once applied for a job with Xerox where they had a whole booklet of those "this gear turns counterclockwise" (and about 10 connections later) "which direction does this gear turn?"

      I loved those, and flew through that in just minutes. I aced the test and came out at the top of the pack, but I didn't have enough pigmentation in my skin, and was told so just that way.

        The recipe is in the Recipe thread! Give it to Mrs. CP and you can confiscate all that she makes.

        The cocoa can be partially replaced with black cocoa, I think he uses 1/4 c of that? He needs to clarify!

        Thats what makes the cookies dark chocolate.

          I am pretty sure rogue06 took Mad Science and Portal Economics in high school.

            I cannot even begin to tell you the sort of stuff I did in science class back in High Skewl. Much of it I can't even clean up enough to post here.

            As I've told numerous people I learned more science in my first week of Chemistry in my freshmen year of college than I learned throughout all of 9th through 12th grade.

            I'm always still in trouble again

              This may take massive amounts of research!

                  Just clarified with The Lad, and he does replace half the regular cacao with the black cocoa. It has something to do with the heavily alkalized properties of the cocoa during its processing, because it’s very acidic.

                  When we started using it I did some research. You can add a 50/50 ratio of black cocoa and regular cocoa in a recipe using baking soda, but you can’t use it straight in such a recipe.

                      Not exactly the sort of research he had in mind. I'm pretty sure he means something more "hands on"

                        The product may suffer during shipping. Especially if the carrier smells the product through the packaging.

                          If using no cocoa, I'd normally use 4 cups of flour. Adding cocoa powder requires substituting 1/2 cup of flour, and adding black cocoa powder requires substituting half of the regular cocoa powder, meaning 1/4 cup.

                          Hope that clarifies.

                            I see the recipe needs to be updated to include the salted caramel chips we put in sometimes!
