Me and Brittney are newly found Chem buddies. We apparently had Chem 6B together during Spring last year then enrolled in 6C unknowingly together again for summer. We both talked to Anthony who pointed out to us that we are in the same class, then eventually met up to study together like 3 weeks into the summer session. After finals, once there was finally time to bake again, I posted the PB cookies and she asked to be in the next buddy bake. About 5 minutes after she asked on facebook, I called her up and within the next hour we were at the store getting ingredients for these next cookies...Coffee Crunch Cookies.
After such a fail on the PB Cookies, I was really excited to get back into it and have a successful cookie. I let my buddy choose them and I was immediately anticipating success because unlike the peanut butter cookies, this required old fashioned wet ingredients...butter and sugar. Alternatively, I was a bit wary because I am not a huge coffee fan. They were pretty simple cookies, nothing crazy about them. I freaked out a little bit when we were supposed to have dough. Once again, kind of like the PB cookies, we had a dough that was very crumby, and not very stick-together-y. We continued anyway, and found that although kind of difficult to form cookies with, it was possible, and we eventually had two cookie sheets worth of cookies.
SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS OVEN. It is ridiculous. I thought that I took cookies out of the oven early back at our on-campus apartment (like 3-5 minutes), but that has nothing on what has to happen at this place... 8 minutes went by of the 15 (to 20) required by the recipe and the first cookie sheet was basically overcooked. :( I hate when cookies get burned, and theres basically nothing I can do about this. I even turned down the setting on the oven because I was anticipating the fast cooking.
I guess for next time, I'll just have to set it even lower and check just as early. Anyway, the rest of the cookies came out okay, still a little crispy on the bottom, but otherwise pretty delicious. We both happened on the rating of 7/10. Thanks Brittney!!
