OT - The Cookie That Broke The Internet . . .

CTMike

. . . Or more accurately, the cookie that broke King Arthur’s servers. When they released the recipe for their cookie of the year, the demand was so high that it caused their servers to crash:

This is a tangzhong based recipe, and requires the dough to be refrigerated for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to marry. 

The cookie is a little too sweet for our tastes, next time I will cut back the sugar 10% or so. 

Overall I highly recommend this recipe.

Those look fantastic, @CTMike !

I came across that recipe recently, but haven't got around to making them, yet. They do look wonderful.

I’ll have to give this one a try. I doubt King Arthur has the same scaling capacity as Amazon.

I was perplexed when @CTMike first posted this as to how a chocolate chip cookie could have broken the internet.  Well I finally got a chance to watch the video KA produced describing it and walking you through the process of how to make it:

Now I get it, and yes I will be trying to make a batch.

Just don’t blame me when you step on the scale after devouring these.

The amount of butter scared me away.
