I've got a bunch of new cookies and biscuits to try this week but here are some notes a made the last time cookies and biscuits were the FOTW.

CAP Sugar Cookie - My personal opinion, there is almost no excuse not to have this flavor. It’s almost worth buying for the room note alone; it makes people swear someone is baking sugar cookies nearby. It doesn’t vape with quite that much authenticity but that's what makes it such a versatile, indispensable bakery ingredient. Used high it’s a rich, thick, buttery and slightly grainy baked good mostly reminiscent of a soft, mass-produced or “slice and bake”-type of sugar cookie. It blends well with other ingredients and can be the base for pretty much any baked thing you want it to be with the right helpers. It is not a cookie with a dry, crisp snap, at all. It doesn't take much to turn it into a dense cake base, or, say, a shortbread layer. Used lower, it can fill in cracks in other baked things and bring texture and fullness where it might be missing.

CAP SL Crunchy Frosted Cookie - It’s not offensive-tasting, but I’m a little offended by them putting “crunchy” in the name. There’s nothing crunchy here at all. It’s even softer than CAP Sugar Cookie, which is already pretty soft. There’s no crunch or snap, nor even any grit or grain. It’s a kind of a cookie, but like one of those nearly flavorless extra soft Lofthouse cookies from the grocery store. Not even slice-and-bake - no human hands have ever touched this cookie. Also like lofthouse, it’s piled with frosting. The frosting tastes very sweet and fluffy and a just a little bit weird. Like you can almost taste the food coloring in the frosting. I’m not sure what I could do with this but it might work as base for a funfetti cake recipe or as an accent to a birthday cake ice cream recipe.

CAP SL Biscuit - It you’re hoping for something like a Grand’s Flaky Biscuit or the biscuit from a McDonald’s Bacon Egg and Cheese Biscuit this is not that. None of the biscuit flavors are that sort of biscuit, they’re the sort of European dry, crunchy digestive biscuit that’s more like a graham cracker than a breakfast food. Sort of like a dry, under sweetened shortbread cookie. Think tea time. This one mostly tastes like it should but I’m getting some dry coconut flake from this one and some nut flavor as well. Not bad as far as off notes go unless you hate coconut but still, off. Basically tastes like a slightly nutty biscuit that’s inexplicably had sweetened coconut flakes piled on top of it. Full bodied and thick.

INW Biscuit - Some people say they also get a touch of coconut from INW Biscuit or that it’s been secretly reformulated and now tastes like coconut but didn’t before. I don’t get any coconut from my bottle mixed at 0.75%, which is about has high as you probably ever need to go with INW Biscuit. It’s definitely a full-flavored vape at three quarters of a percent. So it’s strong. People also say it takes over a mix. I don’t think it does quite that, but it does stick out in one with an annoying identifiability sometimes. It also makes me really thirsty for some reason. It’s dry, but how thirsty it leaves me feeling goes beyond this bit of dryness. Maybe I’m weird and others don’t notice this.

JF Biscuit - It’s like INW Biscuit is a piece of unpolished furniture and this is the polished version. It’s the INW Biscuit Killer. It’s similar to INW Biscuit, but better. A touch weaker in concentration but that’s not necessarily a bad thing; it’s more forgiving and easier to work with. It blends better with other flavors and doesn’t stick out as much as INW. It’s softer and sweeter, without that sharper nutty edge that INW has. It’s also less dry, a little doughier. But it has that same buttery biscuit flavor.

VT Biscuit Base - Plastic cherry desert biscuit. Dry, not buttery, sort of multi-grain biscuit flavor with a bit of that same plastic off note from cherry flavors in the finish that ruins it. Not much texture beyond the dryness, which is even drier than INW Biscuit. It’s like a desert level dry. VT has some great flavors but this might be the worst one of there’s I’ve tried.

FLV Biscotti - basically FLV are fascists and this is proof. It’s normal to dip biscotti in coffee, but since FLV is authoritarian, they’ve already done this for you. It’s primarily a coffee flavor, but there’s some sweet dry and buttery cookie in the middle of that dark roast coffee. There’s also some caramel and a solid hit of anisein here.

FLV Cookie - A very soft maple cookie dough. No crunch at all, doesn’t even really taste baked, more like cookie dough. Full thick mouthfeel, rich. Strong maple off note.

FA Cookie - Opposite end of the cookie spectrum. It tastes like a dry and crunchy, yet sweet and buttery cookie. It tastes almost overcooked; very dark, but not quite burnt. Personally, I like big soft cookies, even a little undercooked and gooey in the middle. But if you’re into dry crunchy cookies, this is a winner. There’s a ton of AP in here and it gets slightly nutty, but it’s really free of off notes. Strong, does not need need to be used over 2% or it gets slightly bitter, a definitely overcooked and pretty much burnt.

JF Cookie - Keeping with the JF theme of being quite similar but a little better than something else that’s more readily available. It’s a bit softer and sweeter but not a lot different than FA Cookie. It’s dark but not quite as crunchy and pushing burnt as FA Cookie. More buttery, less dry.

FW Sugar Cookie- It’s way over on the other end of the spectrum from FA Cookie. Super soft, basically marshmallow-level fluffy, no crunch at all, or even any bakery texture. It has some cookie flavor but it tastes a little more like licking dry frosting off of a cookie than the actual cookie. Overly sweet. It’s also very vanilla-forward and that vanilla is a bit floral, like FLV Smooth Vanilla, just floral enough to remind you that vanilla comes from a flavor.

OoO Sugar Butter Cookies - You know those sugar cookies that have so much butter in them that instead of being sort of tan or beige they’re actually yellow? This is like those, with a little bit of yellow playdough in there for extra yellow. Paula Dean heavy on the butter and very sweet and sugary, with the drier bakery coming in at the end just a bit, and just a hint of that CAP Glazed Doughnut sort of playdoughy flavor. Nowhere near as blatant as in Glazed Doughnut and can probably be covered up in a mix, but I get some of it.

WF Shortbread Cookie - It tastes like someone put butter on mcdonald’s cookies and then popped them in the toaster oven until they browned around edges. Like a sugar-sweetened butter bomb with a little biscuity and slightly overcooked cookie backnote. But instead of being fatty and wet like actual butter, it’s all very dry like a dry cookie. I’m not sure a real cookie can hold this much butter flavor without any moisture unless the butter has been freeze dried like astronaut food or something. So this has the components of a shortbread cookie - butter, flour, sugar, heat - but the butter/flour ratio seems impossible. It’s pretty tasty if you like butter but needs some more bakery to really “be” anything.

TFA Oatmeal Cookie - Lightly cinnamon-spiced vanilla cardboard. No oatmeal, no cookie. Just raw corrugated cardboard with a splash of vanilla and sprinkle of dry cinnamon.

WF Oats & Cream Cookie - Name implies Little Debbie oatmeal cream pie and the reality is pretty disappointing if that’s what you’re expecting, but doesn’t taste unpleasant at all. Full thick cream in the forefront and a little darkly sweet brown sugary bakery behind it.

WF Almond Cookie - So I was expecting those little almond cookies you get at Chinese restaurants and this is not that. Personally, I think it’s better, because all of those I’ve had were hard and dry. This tastes more like soft, fluffy homemade almond cookie, that’s a bit gooey in the middle. It’s buttery and moist and just barely dry enough to be a cookie. The almond flavor hits first, right up front, as if on top of the cookie and then that fades and the soft almost creamy thick cakey cookie comes in and builds to the finish.

TFA Lemonade Cookie - is not bad. The cookie part is very understated, doughy, undercooked, almost creamy tasting with just a slight toasted note, but the lemon is nice and soft like it is in those Girl Scout lemonade cookies, surprisingly not pledgy. It seems like the right lemon for the job and it just needs another cookie or biscuit flavor with some crunch to finish it.

FLV Sun Cookie - If this were someone’s recipe that they created and I tried it, I’d call it “interesting” and it would be about 50% a sincere interesting and 50% one of those Wayne Walker “interestings” where he really means “WTH is wrong with you” but is being polite. As a flavor though, it’s getting closer to 100% Wayne Walker WTH type of “interesting.” It’s got an actual cookie base that does a better job of being a baked good than most of FLV’s other bakeries as it actually has some nice, crispy body to it, but there’s all sorts of weird stuff going on with it. There’s some kind of green nut in here. I’m not sure, but it tastes like the cookie itself is green. Not artificially green, like a very natural, earthy green nut. Not a pistachio, more like sunflower seeds but greener. Extra super organic vegan sunflower seeds? IDK. The cookie base tastes like hippy food, basically. There’s also a pile of tart and sweet natural lemon on top. Like a big pile. So it’s a green nut cookie with handful of lemon zest all over it. And a touch of anise in there will the lemon just to completely ruin it for me.

FW Cookie Butter Fuck this shit. Fuck you Flavor West Cookie Butter.

ID10-T, have you ever considered compiling and publishing your flavor notes in a pdf format or something along those lines? I’ve always enjoyed your notes and think a lot of us would probably pay for a copy lol.

No, I haven't. I don't want to charge for them but I also don't want to take the time to do that for free, so it's a catch-22.

Totally fair and understandable lol. Maybe a few of us can just trawl these threads and compile it. It’s a thought anyway.

So many good sounding cookie recipes out there! But for me, being somewhat new, I've only tried a handful. Few that stood out, samoa sammies by developed and id10t simple sugar cookie is really good. A new flavor I was recommended tastes really awesome by itself. Chemnovatic lemon cream wafer, tastes just like the girl scout cookie, it's pretty damn good especially for a single flav. As always, thanks for doing this!

FA Cookie I like more than CAP Sugar Cookie.

And JF Biscuit I like more than INW Biscuit.

But I use all four, I think they're pretty essential.

by ID10-Tover 5 years agoWinner: Best Recipe of 2019 - Counter Punch

FA Cookie and CAP Sugar Cookie I think are very different and both essential. JF Biscuit I not only like more than INW Biscuit, they're similar enough that I think JF is the INW Biscuit killer.

INW Biscuit was on my first order list 3 years ago. Just kind of got bored with it. JF Biscuit just felt psychologically newer, so it made it better haha

This week will be a good one! I used WF Cookie Butter 2%, VT Pudding Base 1% and TFA Vanilla Custard ll 3% in my 321 Cookie Butter Custard recipe, which was an amazing accident, but I was trying to make a Trader Joe or Biscoff Cookie Butter profile. I refuse the give up until I get it right, and I’m hoping this week will really give me a new direction and new ideas.

by notsonattynateover 5 years ago

All my best recipes have been accidents. HA! It’s surprisingly good for using such a small amount of flavoring. I like to add .5% FW Sweetener but it’s not necessary. 5 days and it really comes together but you can shake and vape of course. I hope you like it as much as I have!

I'm one of those poor souls that's sensitive to the lactones in most biscuit flavors, cap lmp, tfa cheesecake graham crust etc. & I just wanted to note re: possible reformulation of biscuit from inw that I get the same thing from jf biscuit. The stuff just reeks of coconut to me.

I've found ways to cover it up, like cap sugar cookie actually. Using it to create a crust\flaky tart layer around 3:.5 cap sc: inw biscuit. For me that nullifies it and creates a tasty layer. Hoping others that have the same issue can share some tips as it's maddening at times. Love the texture, just don't want, you know, freaking coconut all up in it.

Noted Ep. 156: COOKIES AND BISCUITS (ft. RainbowDragon)

(Aired 22nd June 2020)

(Ranked from worst to first)

FW Cookie Butter: Gunks coils incredibly quickly and tastes ashy and burnt after 1-2 puffs. Cakes onto the coil and permanently ruins them, is very difficult to get off with dry burning 10.01

WF Brown Sugar Cookie: No cookie at all. Dark and musky. Tastes like a ferret smells. Same meth lab, piss flavour as TFA Honey. Has a lot of dark sweetness, not as floral as TFA Honey, but quite similar. Incredibly dark, a bit of a molasses type note. 12.08

VT Biscuit Base: Everyone else would rank it much higher. RD ranked it number 3. ID10-T gets a plastic off note, but was the only one. It is very dry. That dryness can be a positive. Can be very useful at low %s to dry a recipe out and give some AP. Like a European biscuit. A bit like Biscoff biscuits without any spice. No butter. Tested at 1% 13.58

GF (German Flavors) Butter Spekulatius: Cloves and stewed prunes. Doesn't taste remotely like a cookie or cookie butter. 15.44

FLV Biscotti: Strong coffee note. Like a Biscotti soaked in coffee. Primarily a coffee flavour. Pretty good coffee though. Has some biscotti under the coffee. Which could be hidden in a coffee mix of wanted to use it as a sweet thickener in a coffee. Biscotti is often dipped in coffee, but annoying FLV didn't give people the choice to add coffee if they wanted it. ID10-T got a slight anise off note, but RD didn't. Tested at 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75%. Coffee note present no matter the %. 17.16

WF Creme Brulee Cookie: Mostly sour cream. A lot of butiric, vomit-y notes. Not much cookie. Slight hint of burnt sugar. 18.58

OOO Sugar Butter Cookies: Has a bit of a Play-doh off note. If you like CAP Chocolate Glazed Doughnut you might really enjoy it. Very heavy on the butter. Very sweet and sugary. Drier bakery note on the finish. 20.06

CAP Sugar Cookie V2: Light butiric note. Odd sourness. 21.39

INW Shortbread: RD would have ranked it far higher. But she's not very sensitive to butiric acid. She got a slight spice note. Decent, medium cookie flavour. ID10-T got a slightly rancid butter note but he is sensitive. But the shortbread was really nice. Light and crumbly. Not too AP heavy but enough to give nice texture and body. RD tested at 1% 22.47

CAP Biscuit (Silverline): Pretty weak, like most SL flavours. At 8% ID10-T got a mostly a dry, crunchy, European style biscuit. But with a strong coconut note. At 4% Cheeba got some coconut. Not a bad coconut, no sun tan lotion off note. At 1% RD didn't get any coconut. Instead bit slight vanilla, hazelnut and coffee with a generic bakery. Pretty sweet. RD tested it at 1%. Cheeba tested at 4%. ID10-T tested it at 8%. 24.35

Maybe using gamma octalactone to give moisture and richness? (coconut molecule present in TFA CCGC). Pushing it up to 8% may be bringing the actual coconut flavour out? Version

INW Biscuit: (Not part of rankings) As a SF RD gets a coconut off note, but doesn't come through in a mix. ID10-T found it dry, sharp. Anything over 0.75% is a little coconutty. But has a really nice darkness and nice butteriness. Used so often that it is easily identified in a recipe. Over-used as in so many recipes. But a solid flavour. 26.28

INW Spicy Biscuit: Pumpkin spice. Barely any biscuit. Just a little bit of buttery biscuit on the end. Predominantly a cinnamon forward pumpkin spice. With nutmeg or all spice. Hints of ginger and clove. Could be used for a pumpkin spice bakery recipe, if you don't already have FLV Pumpkin Spice. 28.09

FLV Pumpkin Spice is really good.

FLV Cookie: Very doughy. More of an undercooked cookie or a cookie dough. No crunch at all. Has a maple note. Nice dark sweetness. Full, thick mouthfeel. Very deep and rich. RD found it to be a good cookie but had a chemical off note, like chlorine. 29.28

OOO Girly Cookies Shortbread: Nice sugar cookie/ shortbread type flavour. But has a fruity sweetness that's out of place. Needs to be deeper. 31.08

FW Sugar Cookie: More of a bright vanilla frosting than a cookie. No crunch or bakery texture at all. Very soft, fluffy. Very sweet. Very vanilla forward. Not bad but not much like a cookie. 32.02

CAP Crunchy Frosted Cookie (Silverline): Not at all crunchy. Tasted a bit chemically at 8%. At 6% it's basically frosting. Very soft and mellow. RD tested it at 1% and it had a little grain. Tested at 1%, 4%, 6% and 8%. 33.16

DEL Sugar Cookie: Not very sweet. But has a nice grainy mouthfeel. Pretty mediocre. Tested at 5% 34.51

MB Butter My Biscuit: High fibre, whole wheat, Digestive type biscuit covered in butter. The butter is more like it's been spread on, rather than baked in. It's slightly artificial and there's a lot of it. Odd contrast between that type of biscuit and the butter. The biscuit is reminiscent of INW Sesame Sweets. It's a darker bakery, dry. Biscuit tastes brown. 35.37

WF Shortbread Cookies: Very dark for a shortbread. Like shortbread that has had butter spread on it and cooked until it's brown. Overcooked. If used too high it almost has a coffee note. Could be used to add some darkness to a cookie mix, to cook it a bit longer. It's pretty buttery so could also be used to add butter to other cookies lacking in that department. At very low % it has a bit of a bright lemony note, like FLV Pastry Zest. Tested at 2%. 37.52

MB Soft Baked Cookie Base: Really top heavy. On top of has some crunch and some nuttiness in the way something baked until it's browned could be described as nutty. In between a really soft baked cookie and a more well done, crunchy cookie. But the body odd really soft and almost flavourless. Reads more as a generic bakery rather than a cookie. Not sweet enough to be a cookie as the base is so bland and thin. Has no weird off notes. Just all the top notes of a pretty average cookie. Tested at 4% 40.01

Fresh described MB Soft Baked Cookie Base as being a fantastic additive to other cookies. (Noted- FOTQ episode)

MB Cookie Bite: Emily Would have ranked it much lower. Not sweet enough and really dark. ID10-T gets no chocolate at all. Although others do get a chocolate note. He did get a well done, in the verge of being burnt, crispy cookie that's made with brown sugar. A hint of butter and a nice crumbly cookie texture. It's pretty unique in being a brown sugar cookie, especially as WF Brown Sugar Cookie is so bad. Chocolate Chip cookies are often made with brown sugar, this tastes like a choc chip cookie without the choc chips. 43.30

FA Cookie: Dark, crispy cookie. Has great crunchy texture. Dry, sweet. A little bit buttery. Tastes well done, almost at the point of being over cooked. Contains a lot of AP which makes it a little sharp. No weird off notes. Use around 1%. Maximum 2%. Starts to get bitter and burnt above 2%. 45.27

JF Cookie: Very similar to FA, but not quite as dark. Also a little bit softer, sweeter, more buttery. A little less dry. Would be hard to tell the difference in a more complex mix between JF and FA Cookie. 47.04

PUR Cookie: What WF Brown Sugar Cookie should have tasted like. Chocolate Chip cookies are often made with brown sugar, this tastes like a choc chip cookie without the choc chips. Not a crunchy as FA Cookie, but not really soft either. Somewhere in between. Nice sweetness and depth. Could be used instead of JF or FA in mixes. 48.02

DEL Spiced Cookie: Good texture. Has some snap. Pretty authentic to Speculous cookies. A little dry. Would be a good starting point for a cookie butter recipe. 48.56

JF Cookie Butter: (Should be ranked much lower) Not as sweet as cookie butter should be. The spice note is not authentic, has clove. Creamy. Dark cookie note. 51.08

JF Biscuit: Similar to INW Biscuit. Has the same buttery biscuit flavour. But doesn't have the sharpness INW has or the coconut off note. It's lighter, not so dark. It's softer, sweeter. A bit weaker in concentration. A little less dry, a bit doughier. More versatile than INW as it's not so dark. Although if you want that darkness and coconutty richness INW can still be useful. 52.35

Chemnovatik Cookie: (Should be ranked lower) More of a cakey cookie. Not very sweet, pretty dry. Needs more sweetness and something like butter to help with the dryness. Really great texture. No weird off notes. A little bland. But could be useful for the texture. 54.24

WF Cookie Butter: Not Speculous cookie butter. It's mostly a bakery butter with a little bit of cookie. The perfect butter for cookies. Maybe the best butter? 55.35

VT Cookies and Cream: Sugar cookie or a golden Oreo with the filling from Oreos or a rich, heavy milky cream. Lacks cookie texture. Really delicious, even as a SF. 58.20

WF Almond Cookie: Warm, dark, sweet, delicious. Lovely almond note. 1.00.04

CAP Sugar Cookie: Sweet, buttery, soft, sugar cookie. Very versatile. Can use in all sorts of bakeries. Soft enough that it can easily be bent into a cake. Can be used as a thickening sweetener, can use 1% in a milkshake or a cream etc. Great at adding texture and fullness. Or full in the gaps in any sort of bakery mix. Works in tobaccos. Works great with FA Soho. Just 5- 6%% or so of each would probably be really good. Can be used as a SNV by some people. But contains ethyl alcohol, not a lot, but for those sensitive to that it may need some time to steep out. Don't buy in bulk as the actual concentrate fades while just sitting in the bottle. The potency of the flavour diminishes significantly after about 6 months. So just buy what you'll use over 6 months. ID10-T throws his out after that time. 1.01.

Nice, two FOTWs that I could get in on. I'm currently working on a lemon sugar cookie and after trying the mix I'm thinking of dropping some of the lemon and adding some biscuit to it to give it more of s baked edge rather than just lemon and sugar really....

Cookie butter is an amazing accent flavor. I usually use it in a bakery recipe that would call for a little butter. It is not a cookie replacement.

I tried this recipe out and was disappointed. I’m not sure if it was supposed to steep or not, but SNV it was lacking and day two it also left me wanting something better.

  • TPA Acetyl Pyrazine - 0.25%

by MiLlIoNs81over 5 years agoJust put the DAAP in the bottle & nobody gets hurt

That would need a few days imo. Like 5 or so for the cookie and graham cracker to merge properly.

It looks like they were trying to make a snickerdoodle cookie and looking for extra crunch with the AP and graham cracker. That's a lot of cap cinnamon sugar too. You could probably get something similar by lowering the sugar cookie to 3.5, cin sugar at 1.25, add fa cookie at 1% and eliminate the need for the AP as it's chock full of it. If you want a little more body a little cap vanilla custard at 1%ish or possibly some tfa marshmallow to sweeten and give some body and mouthfeel.

I need to pick up JF biscuit after reading that description. Any thing I put INW biscuit in thats all I can taste. It's one of those flavors that's so distinct it just stick out like a sore thumb. I have this issue with FA Zeppola and FLV Wild Melon.

Yah Zep is impossible for me to enjoy because it tastes like Zep. Sticks out like a sore thumb.

I love FA cookie and Cap sugar cookie! I do use INW biscuit in a few recipes, carefully. I need to go and print out these notes. Thanks!

Cupcake World/Chefs Choice Digestive Biscuit is a pretty good biscuit. but it needs a little help in the crunch department. With a little bit of graininess it is pretty spot on McVitie's, in my opinion.

For me it's all about Cap Sugar Cookie. I always have a bottle of it handy to mix with my cakes and creams. Also this weeks flavor pack sounds really good.

I'm excited! I don't do a whole lot of bakery mixes, but it's something I am very interested in trying more of.

Those are awesome notes man. Super detailed and very informative. I’m a big dessert fan myself, there’s a lot to sort through and you don’t get anything off of name alone.

I think I'm broken . Everybody loves cap sugar cookie but I really dislike it , I seems to stand out to me even at quite low percentages in many recipes and then I can't get past just that favour which is what ? - I don't know stale ? , "off" ? So for me fa cookie for the win .

I second the "Fuck you" to FW Cookie Butter. Cookie Butter is Trader Joe's speculoos cookie butter. Anything else is shit, even that Biscoff crap which is supposed to be the original. WF Cookie Butter is substantially better than FW, but such a disappointment if you're hoping for Trader Joe's. Sigh

Looking forward to see the if I have the top 3 cookies. I have CAP Sugar Cookie, FA Cookie and INW Biscuit. Do I need more? or is this a good building base?

I have a few more cookies to try this weekend, so you might want to ask me again next week. But for now I'd say that's a good start, but you could easily upgrade by adding JF Cookie and JF Biscuit.

Thankfully I have yet to try a cookie flavour that I hated and thanks to you guys I won't have to (although I just got FW cookie butter and I understand that that was a mistake)

like most people here I like FA cookie, Cap sugar cookie and Inw biscuit. as much as I LOVE cap sugar cookie I find it too warm to be satisfying on a hot day. I also think Cap silver line Biscuit is good. I think you can get a pleasant vape by mixing any of them with a cream or custard base alone or with fruits, nuts or a spice, at least that's been my experience.

I am not sure how to feel about TFA lemon cookie though, I probably didn't know how to use it properly

For me INW Biscuit and CAP sugar cookie are such staples when I'm mixing bakeries. My bakery stash is tiny compared to fruits and candy. I need to branch out and try more of them. Thanks for the excellent flavour notes

I would have tried the FLV Sun Cookie to experience this hippy cookie if not for the anise. A little weird I'm ok with but they crossed a line.

Ahhh late to the party! Cap Sugar Cookie v1 has to be tops this week, I’m hard pressed to imagine something better.

I’m a little late to participate this week. Buuuuut, that said, tootsee roll was the recipe that opened my eyes to the possibilities of cap sugar cookie. Excellent stuff when mixed with Fa meringue. I’ve since used that combo with Fa soho as an ry4 cookie base with just about whatever I felt like and it’s always good.

60? That's too many. Someone should delete some of those cookies.

In the past, you divided Cookies into smaller chunks. (Sugar, Shortbread, Chocolate, etc) Why didn't ya do that this time?

by ID10-Tover 5 years agoWinner: Best Recipe of 2019 - Counter Punch

We're leaving out the chocolate and oats stuff for noted purposes. See previous episodes on those. Next time it's definitely gonna get broken down even further because I still have 32 flavors

inw biscuit and cap sugar cookie v2 are my two fav and most used cookie concentrates. Inw biscuit is pretty versatile and usuable in most bakery recipes. cap sugar cookie is a good base to work of off. i particularly like it in custards.

I haven’t experimented a lot with my cookie flavors. I bought a bunch then got on a fruit or tobacco kick. Maybe in the fall.
