Showcase Luau Cookies

ATF Link to recipe:

This recipe uses two brand-new ingredients, Sugar Cookie Fluff by Ckemist and If You Like Piña Coladas by yours truly, which are now available at ECX's Mixer's Showcase: http://www.ecigexpress.com/shop/diy-e-liquid/one-shot-concentrates/diy-mixer-s-showcase.html

ECX Showcase Sugar Cookie Fluff 9.5%
ECX Showcase If You Like Piña Coladas 3%
FA Coconut 1%
TFA Toasted Marshmallow 0.75%

What you get is delicious piña colada cookies! Soft, chewy coconut-scented sugar cookies topped with a thick, fluffy frosting that has a hint of pineapple. Om nom nom. Shameless self-promotion never tasted so good.

Notes:

If You Like Piña Coladas is a classic island cocktail with fresh pineapple juice, Jamaican rum, and Coco Lopez coconut cream.

Sugar Cookie Fluff is described as "sugar cookies layered with sweet cream and a hint of marshmallow fluff." I found it delivered on that description and kinda reminded me of a vanilla Moon Pie at the recommended use percentage.

FA Coconut is like coconut flakes here, ups the coconut flavor without making the cookie soggy or weird, and TFA Toasted Marshmallow lends a toasty aspect to the coconut flakes while giving the frosting some more sweet, smooth richness.

Discussion:

Full disclosure, every time ECX sells a bottle of If You Like Piña Coladas, an angel gets its wings. Also, I get $2. That's like a whole taco. I like tacos. I'm basically posting this to trick you into buying me tacos. If you don't want to buy me a taco, that's ok too. If you have the ingredients, you can mix up your own If You Like Piña Coladas and laugh evilly while I, empty-handed, stare Longingly at the taco truck.

But also, I hoped to open up discussion about one-shot concentrates for mixers like me, who don't do the ADV/EDV thing because we are afflicted with some sort of flavor ADHD. I almost never mix the same thing twice, at least not in exactly the same way. There's always some little tweak to test out.

I bought Ckemist's one-shot to support him and because I wanted to try it. I mixed it, I steeped it, I vaped it, I liked it, I submitted a review to ECX. I'll probably never mix it again, at least not at the recommended use % and without any added ingredients. But I'm also not about to let it go to waste. It's an ingredient now. I'm going to have some fun with it. It'll be tricky to create things that aren't just muddled to all hell because of the number of individual flavors involved, but the challenge makes it fun. What do you think? Have you tried creating recipes using things that were meant to be one-shots after you were finished trying them the "right" way? How'd that turn out?

Only time I did this was mixing my Vicious Vanilla (soft creamy vanilla with a hint of spice) with my Pleasing Peanuts (hard peanut butter cookies). It rapidly became Pleasing Peanuts V2 and was a soft creamy peanut butter cookie.

Both of those recipes are floating around here somewhere. I want to say it was something like 8% Pleasing Peanuts with 4% Vicious Vanilla but don't quote me on that.

Until next year, happy mixing everyone!

That moment when your post elicits a response from the now mostly silent and mysterious esteemed professor emeritus of mixing...

Speechless. All I can think to do is what I always try to do, make myself useful.

Thanks ID10-T Honored you made a recipe with my one shot and it sounds pretty damn tasty too. Gonna mix it up when I get the pina colada in hand.

I enjoyed the Sugar Cookie Fluff, Atom, and hope many others do as well.

Thanks for understanding and not taking it personally when I said wouldn't mix it the "correct" way again.

What's the sugar cookie plus like standalone? I've been eying it up...

It reminded me of a Vanilla Moon Pie, except not as graham-crackery as one of those. It's as interesting as the overdone "cookie & cream profile" can be, because /u/EJuiceMakers has somehow managed to get some layering in there so you get the cookies and marshmallowy cream separate rather than all mushed together. It's got a fluffy creamy finish and it's not a soggy cookie. That's pretty cool.

Cheers !

And i really like the one-shots from 'guys like you'. I've previously bought quite a lot of enyawreklaws' one shots (mainly stacio-ry4u, nomnomnom) and other peoples one shots, for that matter. And yeah sure, i know i can just mix it up myself, but you know, this is a nice, easy, and affordable way to support you lot a little in what you do :)

I'm going to 'murica in a months time, so i'll make sure to order a few of your pina coladas, as i know i love it =) I'll make sure to get this cookie fluff stuff aswel so that i can try out this recipe =)

Thank you in advance for the tacos, Laserbabz!

Have you had any fun playing around with the one-shots you've bought, like adding extra ingredients to them or straying from the suggested use %?

3 points

by Laserbabzover 8 years ago

You are most welcome.

I have a little yes, i often mix the stacio-ry4u @ 20% and as 50/50, then it is amazing for my MTL setup.

When i drip it i mix it @ 15% and only add a little extra pistachio sometimes. I always vape it straight away though, it gets too caramelly to me after a month, but i love it as a SnV anyways.

Enjoy your taco, you've helped me with many a thing and brought all around good discourse to the table so you deserve at least that :)

Can't wait to see how it vapes!

Thanks Mami! I'll have the taco from you with extra spicy salsa!

Do you know whether our friend Jack is doing ok? He is certainly missed around here. I was just recommending a Pineapple Ice Cream mix to someone in the Suggest A Recipe thread the other day and thought, I wonder if this is what TheCatHimself would suggest?

Still doing aight as far as I know, we don't talk a whole heck of a lot as of late due to #life things but I think he's okay. HOPEFULLY soon he won't be out in BFE anymore and we can get back to mixing shenanigans.

If you do talk to him, please let him know that he's missed, and not just by me, /u/vurve and /u/matthewkocanda are always talking about how much they wish they could have him on their new show.

You're gonna remind me of this the next time we have a spat over stones, aren't you?

by Tiptup300over 8 years ago

I see these as the next evolution of stones. I was very excited when I saw BCF offering community concentrates. Wasn't aware ECX started it as well.

I could see all the major flavoring vendors becoming something of a vapechemy, just without the VG/PG/Nicotine.

BCF isn't offering one-shots. They're doing flavor packs, which are just bundles of all the individual flavors used in community recipes that you can buy all at once at a discounted rate, with a portion of the proceeds going to the creators of the recipe.
