[1 - 1] hello everybody I hope you're all
[1 - 3] snacking on chocolate chip cookies as
[3 - 6] you watch this I'm coming to you not
[6 - 7] live but I'm coming to you from the
[7 - 10] seafood conference room so I got some
[10 - 12] crustaceans behind me here and so I
[12 - 14] wanted to start off with a question that
[14 - 16] I get on a lot of videos and I just
[16 - 18] wanted to set the record straight it's
[18 - 19] about my lip people want to know what
[19 - 21] happened to it I actually was just born
[21 - 24] this way so no stroke no Bell's palsy
[24 - 26] wasn't result of the jaw surgery that I
[26 - 29] had when I was in college just born this
[29 - 31] way so anyway hope this sets the record
[31 - 34] straight there the next one was I made a
[34 - 35] mistake and you guys a lot of you guys
[35 - 37] caught it I said that an egg-white was
[37 - 40] basically more than 100% so I said 90%
[40 - 43] water 11% protein and that adds up to
[43 - 47] 101 percent and so it was 88% water and
[47 - 49] it got rounded at some point and I
[49 - 51] didn't catch it so it's 80% water 11%
[51 - 53] protein and there's 1% left over from
[53 - 55] minerals so sorry about that
[55 - 57] that's the correction thanks for keeping
[57 - 60] me honest so then I wanted to do kind of
[60 - 61] a lightening round for a few questions
[61 - 63] that I saw in there there were tons of
[63 - 65] them cookies are super complex and I
[65 - 67] hope a lot of you will play with that
[67 - 70] recipe had things reduce things whatever
[70 - 72] you want and you'll see massive changes
[72 - 74] but cookies are so fun to do that with
[74 - 76] and they're always delicious no matter
[76 - 78] what you do so it's a really fun way to
[78 - 80] experiment all right so let's do
[80 - 83] lightening round here next question is
[83 - 86] if melting butter adds chewiness to etk
[86 - 89] play with clarified butter so clarified
[89 - 90] butter is melted butter that have had
[90 - 92] those milk solids removed because we
[92 - 94] want to brown those milk solids and
[94 - 95] produce tons of awesome flavor we
[95 - 97] definitely didn't use clarified butter
[97 - 98] for this the best use for a clarified
[98 - 100] butter is generally searing something so
[100 - 102] you want to be able to bring that butter
[102 - 104] to a really high temperature without it
[104 - 107] burning or over browning and those milk
[107 - 108] solids will do that so you can pull them
[108 - 110] out and then you can use clarified
[110 - 111] butter more like you would
[111 - 114] oil for first hearing so that's what use
[114 - 116] it for not on these cookies next up what
[116 - 119] about oven temperature so it's 375
[119 - 120] degrees for this recipe and that gives
[120 - 122] you the right amount of spread really
[122 - 124] nice crisping and browning on the on the
[124 - 126] sides keeps that interior a little bit
[126 - 128] underdone which is perfect for chewiness
[128 - 130] and softness next up I thought Edgar
[130 - 133] Allen Poe was a Baltimore thing turn
[133 - 134] he was born in Boston but died in
[134 - 138] Baltimore who knew next up is my
[138 - 139] husband's favorite birthday cake
[139 - 142] substitute is chocolate-chip cookie bars
[142 - 143] is there any reason these variations
[143 - 145] wouldn't work there so I think for any
[145 - 147] any cookie recipe any chocolate chip
[147 - 149] cookie recipe whether it's in bar form
[149 - 151] or not would really benefit from
[151 - 154] ditching an egg white going up on the
[154 - 156] ratio of brown sugar to white sugar and
[156 - 158] browning the butter so I think you could
[158 - 160] apply those to all of those which would
[160 - 162] be great there was a question here about
[162 - 164] browning the butter removes water from
[164 - 166] the butter which is totally true and
[166 - 168] don't you need that water doesn't that
[168 - 169] help with gluten development isn't it
[169 - 171] important for moisture and I do don't do
[171 - 173] it the video because it's kind of a
[173 - 175] minor point but we do add a couple
[175 - 178] tablespoons of totally unmelted solid
[178 - 179] butter to the brown butter after we
[179 - 182] Brown it and so we kind of net that
[182 - 184] water back in so if you check out the
[184 - 186] recipe you'll see that in there but kind
[186 - 189] of left it out for brevity's sake and
[189 - 192] then the final one I want to talk about
[192 - 194] was a lot of questions about other
[194 - 197] additions and increasing the amount of
[197 - 199] chocolate chips I saw some Wednesday
[199 - 201] doubling or even tripling the amount of
[201 - 203] chocolate chips and so I think you
[203 - 204] should do whatever you want with your
[204 - 206] chocolate chip cookies and clay with
[206 - 208] things I will caution against going to
[208 - 210] extreme for a couple of reasons and the
[210 - 212] first is the more things you put into a
[212 - 214] cookie the less spread generally
[214 - 215] speaking you're going to get out of that
[215 - 217] cookie if you think about that dough as
[218 - 219] this kind of thing that liquefies in the
[219 - 221] oven and wants to spread when you put
[221 - 223] more stuff in it more aggregate it gets
[223 - 225] in the way of that flow so you'll often
[225 - 226] end up with cookies that are a little
[226 - 228] more domed and a little less spread than
[228 - 230] spread than you want and the problem
[230 - 232] there is you don't get that you know
[232 - 234] really thin kind of crispy edges and the
[234 - 236] soft interior so I can be one of the
[236 - 238] problems of going to the extreme on
[238 - 240] Adan's the other is if you add so much
[240 - 242] chocolate to it that it's just you know
[242 - 244] melted chocolate melted chocolate you're
[244 - 245] gonna really miss out on the awesome
[245 - 247] flavor of that dough itself so all the
[247 - 249] brown butter and all the things we did
[249 - 250] to make it really taste great they're
[250 - 251] probably gonna miss out on that
[251 - 255] that being said triple batch chocolate
[255 - 257] sounds pretty good to me so I hope that
[257 - 259] guy I hope that helps we got one more
[259 - 261] video of the season coming your way next
[261 - 263] time it's a big one I'm really excited
[263 - 264] about it we've got kind of a special
[264 - 265] guest in there so
[265 - 267] definitely stay tuned and thanks for all
[267 - 271] your comments and questions alright
