The Cookie Swap Made Me Do It: Chicago Crunchy Chocolate Chip Cookies
Cereal seems to be a popular ingredient in many recipes in the Statesman’s Cookie Swap. Marie Lauritzen submitted this recipe for Chicago Crunchy Chocolate Chip Cookies, which she thinks originated at the Chicago YWCA and was printed — without nuts — in a 1980’s Woman’s Day or Family Circle. It is one of several that call for corn flakes.
The cookie had a nice chewy consistency, and I like the texture of the flakes, but next time, I’m going to crush them a bit before mixing them into the dough. Without the addition of milk, like when eating cereal, the flakes can be a little jarring to bite into.
To get a feel for the recipes being exchanged in the Statesman’s Virtual Cookie Swap, I’ve started baking recipes that catch my eye. It’s a lot of cookies, but someone’s got to do it. You can leave comments or rate the recipes you try. The deadline to enter to win the title of Austin’s Best Cookie 2009 is Dec. 2. We’ll announce finalists on Dec. 4 and pick a winner at a holiday bash at Stubb’s on Dec. 17. Stay tuned for details.
