Cooking duration: 18 minutes

 

Ingredients:

½ tsp baking powder

¼ tsp baking soda

¾ cup mini chocolate chips or chopped bittersweet chocolate

2/3 cup tightly packed light brown sugar

½ cup butterscotch chips (or substitute more chocolate)

1 tbsp corn syrup

1 large egg

1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour

½ cup finely crushed graham crackers

1 cup granulated sugar

2 ½ tsp unbrewed ground coffee

1 tsp kosher salt

1/3 cup old-fashioned oats

2 cups potato chips (either wavy or rippled but not super thin chips)

1 cup mini pretzels

2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature

½ tsp vanilla extract

Equipment:

stand mixer

bowl

baking paper

baking sheet

measuring cup

plastic wrap

oven

frying pan

Cooking instruction summary:

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, sugars, and corn syrup on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes. Scrape down the bowl and beat in the egg and vanilla. Continue to beat for another 7-8 minutes. With the mixer on low, mix in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until just incorporated. Scrape down the bowl again.Stir in the chocolate and butterscotch chips, graham cracker crumbs, oats, and coffee on low speed for about 30 seconds. Add the potato chips and pretzels with the mixer on low and stir for just a few seconds to slightly break up the salty snacks. You don't want to crush them too much so go easy here.Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a large cookie scoop (about 2 " diameter), divide the dough into rounds on the baking sheet, squeezing them onto the one sheet. Using your hand or the bottom of a measuring cup, flatten the dough balls into disks - don't worry if they touch each other at this point. Wrap the baking sheet tightly with plastic wrap (I like to secure the wrap with rubber bands around the pan) and refrigerate at least overnight or up to one week; freeze for up to 1 month.Preheat oven to 375 F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. After the oven has preheated, remove the dough from the fridge and divide it up between the two baking sheets, leaving about 4 inches between each cookie - they will spread quite a bit so make sure the dough is cold when you bake them off.Bake for 15-18 minutes (add 2-3 extra minutes if baking from the freezer), rotating the pans 180 and from top to bottom halfway through the baking time. They will spread, crack, and puff up while baking and should be just slightly browned at the edges when done, even if the middles look undercooked. Cool the cookies on the pans on wire racks completely before transferring to a serving plate or storage container. Store for up to 5 days at room temperature.

Food Joke

To: All staff, Los Alamos National Laboratory From: Bill Richardson, Secretary of Energy Dear staff members: Due to an unfortunate overreaction by the Republican Congress to our minor difficulties in the security area, we're being forced to tighten up just a bit. Effective Monday: 1. The brown paper bag in which we store the computer disk drives that contain the nation's nuclear secrets will no longer be left on the picnic table at the staff commissary during lunch hour. It will be stored in "the vault." I know this is an inconvenience to many of you, but it's a sad sign of the times. 2. The three-letter security code for accessing "the vault" will no longer be "B-O-B." To confuse would-be spies, that security code will be reversed. Please don't tell anybody. 3. Visiting scientists and graduate students from Libya, North Korea and mainland China will no longer be allowed to wander the hallways without proper identification. Beginning Monday, they will be required to wear a stick-on lapel tag that clearly states, "Hello, My Name Is . . . ."The stickers will be available at the front desk. 4. The computer network used for scientific calculations will no longer be hyper linked via the Internet to such Web sites as www.moammar.com, www.swedechicks.com, or www.hackers-r-us.com. Links to all Disney sites will be maintained, however. 5. Researchers bearing a security clearance of Level 5 and higher will no longer be permitted to exchange updates on their work by posting advanced-physics formulas on the men's room walls. 6. On "Bowling Night," please check your briefcases and laptop computers at the front counter of the Bowl-a-Drome instead of leaving them in the cloakroom. Mr. Badonov, the front-counter supervisor, has promised to "keep un eye on zem" for us. 7. Staff members will no longer be allowed to take home small amounts of plutonium, iridium or uranium for use in those "little weekend projects around the house." That includes you parents who are helping the kids with their science fair projects. 8. Thermonuclear devices may no longer be checked out for "recreational use." We've not yet decided if exceptions will be made for Halloween, the Fourth of July or New Year's Eve. We'll keep you posted. 9. Employees may no longer "borrow" the AA batteries from the burglar alarm system to power their Game Boys and compact-disc players during working hours. 10. And, finally, when reporting for work each day, all employees must enter through the front door. Raoul, the janitor, will no longer admit employees who tap three times on the side door to avoid clocking in late. I know this crackdown might seem punitive and oppressive to many of you, but it is our sworn duty to protect the valuable national secrets that have been entrusted to our care. Remember: Security isn't a part-time job-it's an imperative, all 37 1/2 hours of the week! Sincerely, Bill.
