Cookies

Today I baked the Chocolate chip cookies from the basic cookbook, I follow the recipe except I use whole soft white wheat, 60 seconds, speed 10, (GP flour is made from soft white) I also add a tsp of dough conditioner. I was happily surprised how well the TM5 chop the wheat to a fine flour. Using the TM5 made making the cookies a breeze. I them drove to Shallen’s one of my DDs, house there I had some of my grand-kids waiting to enjoyed grandpa’s surprise. As Conner the 5 year old said they are yummy.

Sykler my 13 year old granddaughter is spending the weekend here and she will be making another batch of cookies tomorrow on her own (grandpa) will only be looking in the background. I also have cupcakes to make for a birthday party Alexandra one of my 11 year old grand-kids I have 3 grand-kids that were born the same year. Kaleb, Alexandra, and Nicholas.

Edit: I add the chop time for the flour

Is the dough conditioner the same as bread improver? I haven't had any success trying to find the latter for some bread recipes. Where did you buy the dough conditioner Allen USA?

Thanks

Bread improver is the same as dough conditioner and is found in Coles and Woolies next to the yeast.

Cookies Better than the ones I made 

Today Skyler made a batch of Chocolate chip cookies from the basic cookbook, with the following changes, make note Gals and Guys, she used GP flour, reduce the sugar by 1 oz .(05 brown and 0.5 white) increase the dark chocolate chips to 7 oz and we reduce the cook time to 11 minutes. These cookies are a home run. They are soft, have a raise to them, and look picture perfect. Yes my DGD out did me.

Excellent cookies Skyler.Well done

[MEP]

Well done to your GD. They look delicious.

Forgot that MEP! You could also go to your local bakery and ask for some. I am sure they would sell you a small amount. I have never felt the need of the improver but lots of people use it.

Skyler must have been very pleased with herself Allen. She certainly looks as though she is enjoying herself.

Yes Judy, a family that cooks together stays together. And the TM5 makes it easy for everyone to use with its LCD step by step directions..

Yes Cookie she was, at first she was a little nervous specially when she had to chop the chocolate and the TM5 startup but ones she got pass that it was down hill from there.
