Week01 Tri-Chip Cookies

The first delivery is just a week away! The first week's recipe is Tri-Chip Cookies. The three chips are dark chocolate, butterscotch morsels, and white chocolate chips. This recipe is the Plan B recipe for the upcoming weeks. So if you do not like the main recipe when I email you the week ahead, just tell me if you'd prefer these cookies again, and you can take your portion in cookies instead.

First I had to find the right chocolate, I tried 3 different types, a 16%, a 36% and a 49% cacao mass chips. I was pretty sure the 49% would be best, and I was right, but I wanted to be sure.

Here is a photo of all the chips for a single batch of cookies. One cup of dark chocolate, half of butterscotch and half of white chocolate.

First you cream the butter and sugars.

Then you add eggs.

Then flour, salt and rising agents.

Then the chips!

Next I roll the dough out to the proper thickness and cut with cookie cutter to ensure the right amount per cookie.

Hveiti og Smjör tries to use ecological options whenever possible. Local ingredients, leg power instead of gas, and recyclable materials instead of plastic or styrofoam. All baking paper and bottom portion of delivery containers are made with If You Care brand baking paper. It's made without bleach, using silicon instead of quilon for less impact on taste and less pollution to manufacture.

Pulling the finished cookies out always makes me happy.

Cookies are placed on a rack to cool immediately for a chewy-er final cookie (leaving them to cool on the tray makes them crunchier)

Packaging is made from If You Care non stick parchment paper, and Kraft Paper, both recyclable, and tied with plain cotton twine. Brown paper packages tied up with string, these are a few of my favorite things!

Here you can see the lower half of the package:

And the stack removed. This is only a half batch! (8 cookies) Those customers on the full batch plan will receive two such packages for a total of 16 cookies.
