Super chewy cookies tips

Measuring the ingredients

Baking is chemistry. Measuring ingredients correctly is important to respect the chemistry of the recipe.

Some ingredients are easy to measure and rarely cause issues: White sugar, vanilla, baking soda. With these ingredients you can ensure to have the correct amount of ingredient by leveling off the measuring spoon or cup with a butter knife.

Ingredient temperature

Let the eggs and the butter warm to room temperature on the counter for an hour or so before making the cookies.

Room temperature eggs are more stable and incorporate more air into the cookies.
Room temperature butter combines better with the other ingredients which contributes to creating super chewy cookies

Baking time

Each oven is different. There may be 5 to 10F difference between the desired oven temperature and the actual temperature. These cookies bake between 7 and 10 minutes. To find out how long they need in your oven, check them at the 7 minute mark. If the cookies are risen and not shiny in the middle, they are ready. If they are still shiny, bake them 1 to 2 minutes more and check again. For super chewy cookies, ensure to not over bake them.

Role of ingredients

Baking is chemistry. Each ingredient plays a key role in creating cookies’ texture and flavour.

Brown sugar

Brown sugar provides flavour and moisture to the cookies.

White sugar

White sugar helps to incorporate air in the butter to create a thicker cookie.

Butter

Butter provides flavour and contributes to the chewy texture of the cookies.

Oil

Oil ensures the cookies are super chewy by adding lots of moisture in the cookies. This moisture keeps the cookies chewy for days.

Egg

Eggs contribute to incorporating air in the butter and rising the cookies once they are baking.

Salt

Salt enhences flavours. Adding salt to cookies makes the cocoa taste more instense, brings out the richness of butter and the caramel flavour of brown sugar.

ALMONDS

One of the best nutritional changes you can make is adding 1 oz (~23) of nuts to your daily diet. Almonds are high in fibre, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals like magnesium. A recent review of over 800,000 people found that just 1 small handful of nuts daily reduced heart disease rates by 21% and cancers by 15%! Diabetes was reduced 40% and infectious diseases 75%. Simply put, when you eat almonds (or other nuts that you enjoy), good things happen!

3 decadent desserts

Posted on by

Let’s practice the art of self-love with theses 3 decadent desserts:

Queen of Sheeba cake
Saskatoon berry citrus cake with honey
rose cakes.

Each of these desserts feature different flavour profiles and texture. Which one do you want to bake?

Queen of Sheeba cake
- Decadent chocolate cake inspired by Julia Childs
Saskatoon citrus cake with honey
- Saskatchewan inspired cake by Jodi Robson – The Great Canadian Baking Show finalist
Rose cakes
- Delicate rose patisserie featuring Canada grown rose products

Queen of Sheeba Cake

Chocolate and almonds come together beautifully in this decadent French cake. The centre of the cake remains slightly underdone to create a perfect creamy texture. It is covered with a chocolate butter icing and decorated with almonds. Because the cake is so creamy, it does not require icing. You can also decorate it with cocoa powder.

Julia Child’s first taste of French baking was the Queen of Sheeba cake. Julia Child is now recognized for brining French cuisine to the American public with her cookbooks and television programs.

This recipe is an addaption of Julia’s original recipe. We adjusted the steps to simplify the recipe. When preparing this cake ensure to have a good 30 minutes available. There are multiple steps involved in this cake.
