  1. CW: Food: Recipe for Dirty Chai Earthquake Cookies

    As promised, the recipe that I've tested out. Making it gluten free required only two tweaks: dropping the malt, and substituting the flour. E.Z.

    ## Ingredients

    - 1 Tbsp finely ground espresso (not instant espresso) or finely ground coffee
    - ½ cup/115 grams cold unsalted butter (1 stick)
    - 2 cups/255 grams all-purpose flour (gluten-free optional)
    - 2 Tbsps malted milk powder (e.g. Carnation brand) or substitute for regular milk powder to make gluten free
    - 1 tsp baking powder
    - 1½ tsp ground ginger
    - 1 tsp ground cinnamon
    - ½ tsp ground cardamom
    - ⅛ tsp ground cloves
    - ½ tsp kosher salt
    - ½ tsp finely ground black pepper
    - 2 large eggs
    - ¾ cup/165 grams light brown sugar
    - 2 tsps vanilla extract or paste
    - ¼ cup/50 grams granulated sugar (for rolling)
    - ½ cup/50 grams confectioners’ sugar, sifted (for rolling)

    Bonus Notes:

    - I suggest substituting some of the "light brown sugar" for shakkar if it's available to you. Jaggery will also work. I did about 40g.
    - You can simply do the rest as dark brown sugar if you want. It holds more moisture than light brown sugar because of the increased molasses.
    - I also like reducing overall sugar, and was able to remove 30g of sugar without any net moisture loss.

    ## Preparation

    When I say "medium-high" it will vary by stove. I have a gas stove and I consider this to be a 3-5 if I'm using stainless steel, and 2-4 if using cast iron (depending on how long I've preheated it)

    ### Step 1

    - Put **ground espresso/coffee** in a small metal/pyrex bowl.
    - Put **butter** in a small saucepan, and cook over medium-high heat, swirling and stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula, until nutty brown, 5ish minutes. The margin of error between browning butter and burning it is slim, so be careful.
    - Add the **browned butter** to the bowl with the **espresso** and stir to combine.
    - Set aside to cool, stirring occasionally, while you prepare the rest of the cookie.

    ### Step 2

    Combine the dry ingredients:

    - flour
    - malted milk powder
    - baking powder
    - ginger
    - cinnamon
    - cardamom
    - cloves
    - salt and pepper

    These go into in a medium bowl. Whisk to combine thoroughly and set aside.

    ### Step 3

    - Combine **eggs** and **light brown sugar** (or equivalent) in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
    - Beat on medium speed until well combined and slightly paler, about 3 minutes, scraping bowl as needed.

    ### Step 4

    - Add the **vanilla** and the **butter mixture**, then mix on low speed until combined.
    - Add the **dry ingredients** (flour mixture), then mix again on low until combined.
    - Transfer dough to a resealable glass or plastic container, and chill thoroughly, at least 2 hours and up to 3 days.

    ### Step 5

    - Heat oven to 350 degrees.
    - Put **granulated sugar** and **confectioners’ sugar** into two separate bowls.
    - Use a small cookie scoop to portion dough into heaping tablespoons (about 25 grams each).
    - Roll into smooth balls and drop a few at a time into the bowl of **granulated sugar**, rolling to coat.
    - Transfer to the bowl with the **confectioners’ sugar**. Roll gently, coating well, then transfer to a parchment- or silicone mat-lined baking sheet, leaving at least 2 inches between cookies.
    - Place in freezer until firm, about 10 minutes.

    ### Step 6

    - Bake until cookies are golden underneath but still quite tender (they will firm up as they cool), 12 to 15 minutes.
    - Let cool a few minutes on the baking sheets and transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Cookies will keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 week.

    #Californians here on the #Fediverse , I hope to bump into you nice folks sometime. I could use some pointers on how to navigate the place and the system while I'm there. In exchange, I can make some #chai for you!

  10. Before meeting up with a buddy to see the new Avatar movie, I went to a coffee shop to do a little bit of copy editing. When I ordered my Chai, the cashier asked if I wanted it to be Indian or European. I got really excited about that.

  18. Yesterday's trip to #HighFive #coffee along the French Broad river, on a hot, sunny day. We scored an actual table with an umbrella, and as it was Monday there weren't as many people as usual.

    The river was high and muddy, but on our route up Riverside Dr we noticed that almost all of the debris from Helene is gone, including all of the pvc piping from the overwhelmed manufacturer along the river. That had to be a colossal undertaking.

    Glad they've reopened, this is still our favorite spot.
