Cook Along

Batch 2 😀🌺

fluffier on the inside, with a thin crispy shell - the first batch was more sponge-like, while these are almost melting in your mouth 🙂🌺

Well done @Former-Member they look wonderful

Shame I can't not upload my photo @Oaktree 😪

Grandma always told us the more you cook the better you cook

They look great @Former-Member

Thank you so much @Shaz51 and @Birdofparadise8 💜🤗🌺

Aw, Shaz, I’m sorry to hear the photo uploads aren’t working 😔💜

I bet they’re beautiful, and taste amazing 😀🌺

Did yours turn out to be very soft and fluffy almost like a soufflé in the middle too? My second batch was like that.. I was thinking that might be from the extra hold in the fridge while the oven was heating up 🙂🌺

What was the difference between the first and second batch other than being overcooked @Former-Member

That’s a good question @Birdofparadise8 🙂🌺

I think with the second batch, they were colder in the centre than the first batch because I left them in the fridge while the first batch was cooking, so I think they may have retained more moisture during baking, maybe?
they do taste much more like the ingredients had more time to combine - which is a little odd because they’re from the same mixture which I split into two baking batches because my oven doesn’t fit two trays at once on the one shelf (and stacking one above the other the oven doesn’t cook either evenly, unfortunately). I think the real difference is the second batch had a lot more fridge time 🙂

still, both are tasty, with a little bit different texture - the first has a firmer, slightly drier texture, and the second has a softer, pillow-like texture with a bit more retained moisture ☺️🌺

That is really wired how the fridge could change them so much @Former-Member

They look great @Former-Member

Sorry you can’t upload your pics @Shaz51

Did Mr Shaz like them?

They sound like they are yummy

Yeah! I was thinking exactly that @Birdofparadise8 🙂🙌🏻

Makes me think of chef Heston Blumenthal and his chemistry with food cooking he does, where he discusses how different things about preparing and cooking ingredients influences the outcome 🙂🌺

Yes, very much so @Former-Member

I put cookies in the fridge beforehand as well.
