Recently baked up a batch of chocolate chip cookies, which was received with giddy joy by the kiddos who got to dunk those sweet treats in milk. The scene was almost adorable enough to be made into a commercial for cookies or for milk.
Yet, those cookies nearly didn't get made. When assembling ingredients, I came across a rock-hard bag of brown sugar. In fact, there were three half-filled bags of brown sugar. Bummer.
I've learned the hard way that you cannot make substitutions when it comes to baking. But what to do? I didn't have the time to run to the supermarket. I'm not sure what possessed me to read the label on the back of the brown sugar bag, but it offered sweet relief: Place a damp cloth on top of a bowl of brown sugar and leave it overnight. Fluff it up in the morning.
What? There's no time for that. What if I speeded up the process by nuking it in the microwave? Thirty seconds and done. It worked. Butter and sugar were creamed, eggs beaten in, flour sifted on top. And, oh, those cookies. The Blue Ribbon winning recipe comes from Linda Amendtfrom her fantastic book called 400 Sensational Cookies.
