Chapter I
The Recipe
- Butter is creamed with brown and icing sugar until light and pale.
- Whole milk and vanilla are beaten in until glossy — no egg; the milk replaces its moisture in the dark dough.
- Sifted flour, cocoa, cornflour, soda, baking powder, and salt are folded to a dark, soft dough.
- Dark-chocolate chips are folded in; dough is scooped into thick jumbo mounds and chilled.
- Baked hot for a soft, brownie-edged centre, then dropped to set the crust.
- Pulled while the centre stays fudgy — a great double-chocolate cookie is an under-baked one.
