1.25 pounds
The chocolate chip cookies I’m blogging/making this weekend (and let’s not kid around here… these chocolate chip cookies are absolutely worth three blog posts and a dozen or more Tweets) come from an American recipe. I saw the quantity of chocolate chips (1 and 1/4 pounds) and figured that was somewhere in the vicinity of 600gm. In fact, it’s a bit under that. So I bought a 1kg bag of 64% bittersweet Lindt chocolate pieces and set about turning them into Chocolate Chips. Three hours later I had small pieces and the added bonus of chocolate under my fingernails.
Here’s the dough, ready to go into the fridge. I really didn’t think there would be enough dough in that bowl to swallow up all those chocolate chips but, well, you can see for yourself. I’m now feeling more optimistic that there will be enough appetite in me to swallow up all the chocolate chip cookies.
Oh. My. Goodnessme.Waiting waiting waiting to see how they are. And if it’s worth me going out and buying $10 worth of chocolate to feed my curious self.
*NOM*
OMG I just saw the recipe and they are sprinkled with salt.DYING.WANT.Hurry up and post the results dammit.
Kelley – I put the dough in the fridge at about 5pm on Saturday afternoon. I have to wait at least 24 hours before I can make the first batch. I wouldn’t normally listen to such ridiculous instructions but I’ve poured about ten dollars worth of chocolate pieces into that dough so I feel obliged to pay due respect. I’ll make a batch tonight using half the dough, then another batch after the dough has been resting for 36 hours. And yes, it was the sea salt sprinkled on top that caught my eye too! (I wonder if I could box a couple up for you and send them in the post?)
