Deceptively Delicious Recipe Review #5

Deceptively Delicious Recipe #5 Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

Ok, when I made this recipe I got inspired and started to take video of the different stages of making the cookies. Then YouTube took forever to upload the videos. I saved some of the early video shots to a place on my computer where I can't find them. So, I just put on here the last two stages of the process.

Some lessons learned on this recipe are that I would use a food processor to chop up the chickpeas. I think it would make it easier to mix. I have a Kitchen Aide stand mixer so I have a powerful mixer, but I just think they would incorporate better if they were whipped up in the food processor first.

The first video is of me taking out the cookies so you can see the finished product. Please remember that I was doing this video at 10 o'clock at night, so I was pretty tired. The next video is of our taste tester eating one of the cookies.









This recipe makes cookies that have a moist texture. They aren't quite as moist as a muffin, but definitley moister than other chocolate chip cookies. If you've had Famous Amos Chocolate Chip cookies, these are definitley not as hard and crunchy as those.

Our final family vote for this recipe was 4 Cheerios. They aren't the worst best chocolate chip cookies, but they aren't half bad either.



My next review is going to be of the Quesadilla recipe. That one will probably be posted over the weekend, or Monday at the latest. Of course barring any technical difficulties.

Technical Difficulties

I have been trying to upload some video clips to YouTube for our next review and it is taking forever. I hope to have my next recipe review up tomorrow. It is for the Chocolate Chip Cookies.

New Review Tomorrow

Digg!
Hello everyone. I promise I haven't stopped the reviews and dropped off the face of the earth. I have been busy in the last week and I am finally getting back on track. Tomorrow there will be a new recipe review. So, be sure to check back. I won't tell you which one, I'll let you be surprised.

I wanted to share a picture of my Amaryllis plant that I've had going since the first part of the month. I think tomorrow is the day it will bloom. It has been such a nice thing to see on my kitchen table with the cold outside. It is such a nice pick me up. I just love the shiny pot it came in. It is going to have a red bloom. I picked this up at Target after Christmas. It is a Smith & Hawken kit.
So until tomorrow, good night!
