Horvil Tiki’s Sacred Broncos Chocolate Chip Cookies

Translation by Panff

 

Mix together in a bowl these four ingredients:

2 ¼ Cups of All Purpose Unbleached Flour

Almost a Tablespoon of Baking Powder

1 Teaspoon Baking Soda

1 Teaspoon Salt

 

1 Stick and 7 tablespoons Softened Unsalted Butter (15 Tablespoons)

¾ Cup Brown Sugar

¾ Cup Granulated Sugar

1 Egg

1-2 Teaspoons Vanilla

A Cup or more of Sacred Broncos Colored M&M’s

A Cup of Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

 

  1. Preheat oven to 350F
  2. Mix dry ingredients
  3. In the electric mixer bowl or separate bowl add the softened butter and both sugars. Mix on low to medium speed for about 4 minutes until creamed together well.
  4. Add vanilla, add one egg, and continue to mix on medium for another minute.
  5. Stop the mixer, add in the dry ingredient mixture and continue the mixer on low speed only until mixed somewhat thoroughly, about 30 seconds to one minute.
  6. Add the chips and m&m’s, instead of using the mixer use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix them in.
  7. Drop large spoonfuls of dough onto a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper. About 9 cookies for really big cookies, 12 for normal sized.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes depending on oven and size of cookies.
  9. Let cool at least 5 minutes before eating.

 

Horvil Tiki’s cookie wisdoms:

Use 2 sticks of butter and ½ cup of cocoa powder for chocolate chocolate chip cookies.

Don’t overmix the flour mixture once its added, only mix just enough to combine.

Horvil has access to a convection oven, but prefers a “regular” oven heating method; he places the cookie sheet on the next rack up from the bottom rack of the oven.

He claims the parchment paper can withstand a few batches.

He doesn’t really brown the cookies, they form “cracks” on the top at about the 12-14 minute mark, and he says only the bottoms turn really golden brown.

The dough can be refrigerated for about a week.

I asked Horvil why he uses 1 stick and 7 tablespoons of butter, he says too much butter can “fail” the cookies as they may be rather flat and won’t rise as much.

He claims his grandfather throws the last tablespoon “to the birds.”
