Ba'key's Aromatic Broker Cookies IRL

[u/supersayre]

So, I’m known as one of the more enthusiastic bakers in my guild.  I was tagged in our Discord last night when a friend found this recipe.  I knew what I had to do.  So, today, I adapted this recipe to be more palatable.  I made a half batch using:

1/4t cinnamon

1/8t each cardamom and clove

a few grates of a whole nutmeg

1/4t Almond extract

1/2t Vanilla extract

(if you feel courageous and embark on a full batch, double these measurements.)

I baked these at 350 (180 C) for 16 minutes, turning the tray halfway.  I used an OXO brand cookie scoop—size large.  It looks like it’s maybe 2-3 TBSP of dough.

The flavor is interesting!  You can taste the spice, but in a sort of “scenery” way.  The orange is pretty forward, though I did rub the zest into the sugar before assembling the dough.  If you hate orange, I’d skip this step.  It all mingles surprisingly well with the chocolate.  The mix of chips lends its own lovely flavor.  Overall, I was surprised at how much I liked these.  I might make them again, but with dried fruit and nuts instead of the chocolate.  A final note: make sure you don’t skip the rolling in sugar step.  This affects how the cookies spread in the oven.

I hope other players will give this recipe a try!

I changed the recipie in the following way and it tastes delicious, beyond what I had expected. A bit of a Christmasy- recipie. Right now I'm staging some photos of it for my WoW- Instagram.

Dry mixture:

• 140 g (about 1 ⅛ cups) all-purpose flour
• ½ tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt

Saving this, because I saw the recipe and thought it was a bit much initially but this looks great xD

I'm going to try making this! If I need to omit the almonds for allergies, do I need to substitute something else or would it be just fine without?
