Notes
INGREDIENT NOTES
- Use always unsalted butter in dessert recipes, in the meantime make sure you add the salt stated in the recipe as that will balance the sweetness
- Use combination of white and (light or dark) brown sugar for the best texture and beautiful butterscotch flavor
- Egg should be used on room temp
- Use old fashioned oats (rolled)
- Craisin (dried cranberries) will provide sweet & juicy flavor. Alternatively, you can replace it with raisin
- Digital scale is required for consistent, happy baking experience:)
- Dry ingredients should be carefully folded into the wet ingredients without over mixing the cookie dough
- Leave some craisin for later use to top the cookie dough before baking, then again just before it is ready baked
- Make sure you let the cookie dough rest in the fridge for min. 1 hour to avoid pancake like flat cookies
- Always pre-heat your oven and consider using a digital oven thermometer for the best results
- Each oven is different so you might need to adjust the baking time slightly but in my oven I bake the brownie blondies for exactly 13 minutes. It is ready when the edge looks sort of baked, and the middle slightly gooey but not raw.
- For the best fudge cookie experience consider rather slightly under bake your dessert
