Enchilada recipe

[muck_a_luck]

Today was a bad day to try making that enchilada recipe. I coudln't smell it or taste it, despite 2 t of cumin, 3 cloves of garlic, and 1.5 T chili powder.

Oh! Hey, hive mind. Can ANYONE out there make a homemade chocolate chip cookie that isn't crisp and slightly oily? I swear, no matter how many recipes I try, the result is the same, I really think I'm doing something wrong or I failed to learn a trick or something...

cut back on the baking powder? add one more egg?

[zats_clear]

what kind of butter are you using (please do not say margarine or I will have to climb thru the internetz and smack it out of your hands!)

what kind of sugar? Pick up something that is pure cane sugar (that awesome all natural stuff at costco does cook up a teeny bit differently) and not not not beet or corn sugar.

do you cream your sugar and butter together to incorporate air so the cookie will rise properly? more info on that and why you add eggs one at a time, fully incorporate and add the next here because I am not wearing my glasses and don't want to rephrase something that is already stated well!

when all else fails, try this:

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies (Sarah's killer recipe!)

2 cups flour
1tsp baking soda
1tsp salt
1 cup butter or margarine
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
2 cups chocolate chips (12 oz bag)
2 cups oats
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Bake @ 350F for 8-10 min, add a minute or 2 on stoneware. Let cool on stone for a few minutes, cool on rack.
