Galactic Hoopy Chocolate Chip Cookies
I created this recepie as an improvement on my Chocolate Chip cookies when I was in a hurry on my way to class on my bike. I added half a jar of Peanut Butter to the recepie with 1/2 cup Oatmeal in it to balance the Amino acids and create the complete Protein. I used Total Oatmeal (no longer available to my knowledge) for 100 % of my Daily Requirements. Thus I had created a cookie better then a bowl of breakfast cerial.
A Galactic Hitchhiker refered to it as the best and hoopiest cookies in the Galaxy, "Too bad they are only available on Earth."
Put 2 sticks / 1/2 lb. butter with wrappings removed in a metal bowl, cover with a pie pan and let set arround till the oil seperates from the butter. Add 1/2 jar of creamy Peanut Butter stirring it into the butter till it's all mixed and creamy. Let it set aside to go within itself.
In a seperate Bowl put 3 Cups of Flour, and add 1 teaspoon of Baking Soda and 2 tablespoons of Baking Powder. Mix everything together singing Let's get together, ya, ya ya.
Pour the dry mixture ino the wet mixture stirring it up real well. Observe the texture until it looks done. Add 1 Large Egg for all the yolks you may encounter in life. Mix everything up real good but don't get too mixed up.
Make a line down the center and put part of 1/2 on the other. Add 1/4 cup Oatmeal (I use Generic / Store Oatmeal instead of name brand because it is finer and mixes batter) and pull what you put on other side of line back. Repeat with 1/4 cup of Oatmeal in the other half. Mix everything together til it's all mixed up. Your pun here.
Take a bag of Chocolate Chunks which I prefer because they do not melt like Chocolate Chips and can impart a nutty texture to the cookies even though there are no nuts in it unless you used Chunky Peanut Butter. Anyway draw a line down the center of the mixure and removing a small amount of it like with Oatmeal add half a bag 10 oa. / 283 gm. bag of Chocolate Chunks and mix them in. Pour half a bag of Chocolate Chunks in other side. and repeat. Mix everything together, and press it down and smoothen top. Put aside to meditate awhile.
Empty your oven (I keep my Cookie Sheets, Pizza Pans and Cake Pans in it), and Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Take a container of Peanut Oil and pour some into the cap of the container. Spread it over the pan. I use Peanut Oil because it improves baked food with no unpleasent after taste and to make it nuttier.
Now for the fun part. Wash hands with dish soap and dry them real good. Using fingers and hand like you are finger painting rub the Peanut Oil all over the pan with your hands coating both.
Take a large spoon and scoop out some dough from bowl into your hands. Make a 2" ball of the dough or dough ball. Make sure that there are not too many Chocolate Chunks in it or it won't old togeter good when done, and put it on the cookie sheet. Flatten them out. I put 8 per cookie sheet and make about 16 large Galactic Hoopy Chocolate Chip Cookies per recepie.
Wait till a commercial (not a long paid advertisement type) comes on TV and put the cookies in the oven. The commercials are about 15 minutes apart so they help time the cookies. After the first commercial or 15 minutes check the cookies. If done ( I like them slightly hard so I can eat them with my left hand when riding my bike without them crumbling ) remove them, and put the Cookies on a table or counter to cool, and take a big whiff of the fantastic oder that they are tantalizing you with.
When the tray is cool use a Plastic turner to remove them and put them in your Cookie Jar or container.
Oh yes ~ the cook always gets the first cookie of each batch so he/she/it can judge the batch and respond to comments. SHARE AND ENJOY :^{)
