Hi Bold Bakers!
We’ve all made cookies the traditional way in the oven.
But what if you don’t have an oven?
We can make them in the microwave, we’ve done that too.
But what if you don’t have a microwave?
I’m gonna show you how you can make cookies on the stovetop and all you need is a frying
pan.
They’re absolutely delicious.
The recipe is on BiggerBolderBaking.com.
OK, let’s start out by making our cookie dough.
In my bowl I’m gonna add in some room temperature butter.
And then some smooth peanut butter.
And then with a spoon just beat them well together.
So these cookies are brand new I’ve never made them before, they are called monster
cookies and they have peanut butter, chocolate chips, oats, M&M’s, everything you could
want in a cookie.
So this is what we’re gonna make on the stovetop.
So into this creamed mix we’re gonna add some white sugar and some brown sugar.
And then just mix those really well together.
You can use a hand mixer to do this or you can do it by hand it’s really simple.
You know me I love brown sugar in my cookies it really gives them a nice texture and flavor.
If you don’t have brown sugar in your country you can easily make it and I’ve got a recipe
on my website.
Ok so this is looking good.
Into this now we’re gonna crack in our eggs and add in some vanilla extract.
So if you don’t eat eggs don’t worry you can still make these cookies.
Just replace the eggs with Flax seed or Chia seed.
Ok so this is looking good, now we’re gonna add in our dry ingredients to this.
So go in with your oats, your salt and your baking soda.
And then just mix to form your dough.
This is a nice soft dough it’s easy to work with.
Ok last, but not least, the treasures in our cookies.
I’m gonna add in M&M’s because they are my favorite candy.
And then I’m gonna add in some chocolate chips.
And just fold these ingredients in.
If you are a fan of eating raw cookie dough, you’re gonna love this.
This is like Kevin’s favorite cookie.
Ok so the dough is a little bit soft, what I like to do with all of my cookie doughs,
pop it into the fridge for around an hour, let it firm up and then it’ll be really
easy to scoop.
So here’s our cookie dough, out of the fridge.
It’s nice and chilled which makes my life so much easier.
And here I have a tablespoon scoop and all you want to do is scoop a heaped tablespoon.
Be generous with your cookie.
And then we’re gonna flatten it out a little bit and then we’re gonna pop it on a baking
tray.
I like to make them this size because I think they’re good per-person sizes.
You can make one really big one if you want that’s totally up to you.
Now like I said we are making these on the stovetop, however they can obviously be baked
the traditional way in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 180 degrees Celsius for roughly,
around 12 to 14 minutes and then they will be perfect.
If you don’t wanna cook off your dough straight away, you can keep them in the fridge for
up to three days or it freezes really well so that’s totally up to you.
So these are our cookies now let’s talk about how we’re gonna cook them.
So here I have a non-stick heavy bottom sauce pan that’s really really important for these
cookies it’ll make your life so much easier.
Just make sure that it’s good quality and it’ll work much better.
So I’m gonna put my pan on kind of a medium sized burner and turn it down really low.
You don’t want it too high if they get too high your cookies burn and then it doesn’t
work out so just make sure it’s kind of a controlled heat.
I’m just gonna leave this pan here for around 5 minutes or so, let it heat up before we
add on our cookie dough.
So it’s been a few minutes our pan is a lovely steady heat all over so now this is
a perfect time to gently place in our cookies.
And then with a lid or if you have a baking tray, place that on top and they are gonna
cook steadily away there for roughly 15 to 20 minutes it really depends on the temperature
of your oven.
So here’s the key about cooking these, you might think that maybe they’re not moving
as fast or it’s going kind of slow, do not crank up that heat thinking you’re gonna
cook these any faster you’re just going to burn them.
So just hold your nerve, just slowly wait for them it’s gonna take a few minutes,
but honestly you’ll get a nice golden brown color on the bottom, they’ll be totally
Cooked and they’ll be perfect and crisp.
So the beauty of this recipe is you don’t have to have a full kitchen to make cookies.
You might live in a dorm or you might only have one stovetop, anything like that you
can make these cookies.
And best of all, what I like to do is I freeze the dough and I scoop it into balls and whenever
I want just one cookie, I just cook that off and then you have cookies for whenever you
want them.
So it’s been 17 minutes, my cookies are done and I want you to see what they’re
supposed to look like.
So as you can see they spread out a little bit, they’re brown on the bottom slightly
and then they’re set on top, that means your cookie is done.
So you can very gently with a spatula remove them from a pan and place them on a cooling
rack.
Don’t worry if you think maybe they’re a little bit soft, what happens is once these
cookies go cold they get even crisper so you’re absolutely perfect.
OK so I promised you a cookie that’s just as good on the stovetop as it is coming out
of the oven, and I think I delivered.
Do you hear how crispy this is?
It’s crispy, a little bit chewy also these cookies are awesome because they’ve got
peanut butter, oats, chocolate chips, M&M’s…
I love M&M’s.
Without a doubt this is a perfectly “baked” cookie.
I hope your mind is blown, share this video with your friends and let them know how easy
it is to make cookies on the stovetop.
The recipe as always is on my website and I’ll see you back here really soon for more
