Coco Chocolate Chip Cookies

Cookies, are harder to make from scratch then I had realized. Found a classic recipe online and made a few changes

Coco Chocolate Chip Cookies
Makes 12 table spoon sized cookies

2 sticks of butter/1 cup butter, beaten
3/4th cup brown sugar
3/4th cup white sugar
1 tea spoon Hersey's coco powder
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups of flour
3/4th tea spoon baking soda
1 tea spoon salt
2 cups of semi sweet chocolate chips

Take our butter and sugars in a large mixing bowl, beat until fluffy. Beat in one tea spoon of Hersey's coco powder. As it gains a rich brown color beat in two eggs. You want it to have a consistency of Carmel at this point.

In our second mixing bowl we add in our flour, salt, and baking soda. Whisk well then slowly add into the first bowl, about a third at a time. Between each time, beat in the new lour till you can't see it. about halfway in add in our two cups of chocolate chips. Once all finished place our mixing bowl in the freezer(if plastic) or fridge (if glass) for about 30 minutes or so.

Pre heat your oven at 350 and place the cookies on your bake rack in either tablespoon or tea spoon sized balls and bake for around 12-15 minutes.

Ending price
for 12 cookies you are looking at about 10 dollars

Tangy Chicken Wings

Something new to the blog is each dish will now have a photo to go with it.

Tangy mild heat wing sauce

Ingredients
Per four wings
 1 table spoon barbecue sauce,
2 teaspoons steak sauce,
1-2 teaspoons hot sauce
pinch of white sugar,
1 /4-1 /2 tea spoon water

Place in a small mixing bowl the barbeque, steak, and hot sauce and stir together. At this stage you test the heat of the sauce, and add a teaspoon at a time as you desire, stirring well. A more mild sauce will have a browner color, while a hotter sauce will have a redder color.

 Add in a pinch of sugar for sweetness and flavor enhancing. Stir again till you can no longer see the sugar then add in the 1/2 teaspoon of water and stir one final time. The water is used to thin out the sauce as though the sauce should coat the meat, without a liquid added it will be too thick to properly coat. Hot sauce may be used instead to get more liquid constancy yet not lose the heat, which water may do. This is meant to be a mild sauce but it can be changed to be hotter as you desire.

End Price

Sugar:2$
Water: free
Rough total for 20 wings:6$

Final comments
This is a sauce and not a meal so not completely fitting here, but as you can see the wings themselves come out quite good. A good party dish or a dish for someone who just happens to enjoy wings.
