How are we supposed to make this wonderful ball of sweet chocolatey goodness and not touch it for two days? If you want to age your cookie dough, go ahead, be our guests. We have literally bought/made cookie dough before just so we can eat it raw. Our main problem with aging cookie dough is: WHO THE HELL HAS THAT KIND OF SELF RESTRAINT?! Fact: cookie dough is delicious. ![]() He says that you should throw the covered cookie dough in the fridge for at least an hour, or up to two days. This is the point where we disagree with Papa Babish. Throw it in the fridge (or freezer if your bowl/measuring cup is made of a strong glass *cough* Pyrex *cough*) to let it solidify before using it. Just make sure that you take the pan off the heat immediately when the butter stops making noise, or else you’ll burn your butter, and burnt butter is not going to win you any points with your bae (we cringed writing that sentence). That’s all that there is to making brown butter. When it’s no longer making noise, take it off the heat and transfer to a bowl or measuring cup. Turn the heat up to medium high and wait until it’s all melted - soon the butter will begin to bubble and make some noise. The key to this recipe is the brown butter! Start by putting the butter into a cold pan. Babish also calls for ¾ tsp of salt, which we think is waaaay too much. **If you don’t have unsalted butter and are using salted butter, don’t add any more salt to the cookie dough. He doesn’t include vanilla, but every chocolate chip cookie that we’ve ever made has has vanilla, so we decided to add some. *This is a deviation from Babish’s recipe. These cookies take a bit more time and effort because you have to brown and then cool the butter, but it’s so worth it! On the day of love, choose to make Binging with Babish’s chocolate chip cookies! Don’t waste your time by using Chipits, splurge on some high quality chocolate chips - we used Ghirardelli 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate. Pillsbury chocolate chip cookie dough has its place - but not today. ![]() Better Than Average Chocolate Chip Cookies □ But if you really want to impress, put on your apron and let’s start baking! Sure, you could just go to the supermarket and buy some chocolatey monstrosity and call it good enough. So what do you do? Cook a meal together for dinner and show that you care with a homemade dessert. Not only is it Valentine’s Day, but you totally forgot to make a reservation at that fancy Italian restaurant. Life seems simple - and then oh shit - it’s Valentine's Day. That wonderful time of the year where winter is still here (and it’s super fucking cold out) but you can kind of see the light at the end of the tunnel. As for the fruit, use in season fruit and go for your favorites! In the fall try our baked Apple Tart!īoth tarts use almond extract which adds a marzipan-y flavor that we find delicious but if you are allergic to almonds or don't really like the flavor, you can just sub for vanilla.Ah yes, it is February. Be sure to press it to the top of your tart pan because it shrinks as it bakes. The filling is light, slightly tart, and just sweet enough. ![]() We chose berries and mandarins but you can chose any fresh seasonal fruit to top your tart. The shortbread-like crust is a press in crust, which makes it no-fuss and stress-free. The most important part of this tart is obviously the fruit. We've all been in a bakery, looking at the various confections under the glass and when your eyes land on the fruit tart you wonder "How do they make that? And how do they get it to look so good?!" This recipe will answer that question and show you that it can actually be surprisingly easy to create your own version at home!
