Over-the-Top Cookie

Our 9th recipe from Baking with Dorie is on page 155; Peanut-Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies, Paris Style. These cookies are extravagant and delicious. I have seen these cookies all over social media and they have been on my list to bake for awhile. Dories recipe did not disappoint.

Why Rest Cookie Dough.

F3A0186A-DD55-47D4-9FCE-38202F78B7D0

Do you ever why so many cookie recipes call for resting the dough in fridge before baking. Here are three reasons why this is a really important step.

1. TASTE

- the flavour becomes more concentrated

- as dough chills, it loses moisture: this in turn, concentrates the remaining ingredients

2. TEXTURE

- when dough rests, it’s sugar levels become more concentrated as excess moisture is absorbed

- the higher the percentage of sugar in the dough, the more likely your cookies will turn out chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside

3. SHAPE

- chilling the dough solidifies the fat, making the cookies less likely to spread during baking

**NOTE**

At the bakery our cookie dough always rested for 48hr minimum

  • the topping is what makes these cookies special and unique
  • I cheated again and used a peanut brittle I had available and ground to a fine crumb
  • I also used Presidents Choice Sugar Cone ice cream topping which has chocolate chips, peanuts, skor pieces, and sugar cone pieces
  • I used the same cookie butter, to lather the top

The Results

My rating of this recipe is 5 out of 5. I think I would only make this cookie for special occasions. It is insanely decadent, and a show stopper for sure.

This cookie could be a wonderful way to get the kids in the kitchen. Once cookies are baked and cooled have an assortment of toppings for kids to make the cookie their own.
