Eric: What if I made some choc chip cookies tonight?
Me: sure
Eric: We have tons of chocolate in the cupboard
Me: Go for it
Eric: I meant you make. I don't bake
This is funny on so many levels. But of course I made the cookies. I made the famous Christy Parry choc chip oatmeal cookies. If you have never had these, I'll email you the recipe. But I tell ya what... baking at an elevation of 5200 is much different than baking at an elevation of 2000. Here is what the cookies ended up looking like.
A bit flat. (these pics are from my cell; so not the best). So I got online to figure out my problem. There are oodles of websites in Colorado specific for high altitude baking. I'm not sure why that surprised me, but it did. By the last batch I had increased the temperature of the oven by 20 degrees and that seemed to help. The most common suggestion was to add an extra egg to the recipe. I will try that next time cause I don't like flat cookies.
But they were still tasty :)
