The Powder Christina Tosi Adds To Chocolate Chip Cookies For Extra Flavor And Texture
By JENNIFER AMOS
From their 1930s roots back in Whitman, Massachusetts to today, chocolate chip cookies have remained a beloved classic. When the founder of NYC-based bakery Milk Bar, Christina Tosi, is preparing chocolate chip cookies, she likes to add a certain ingredient that you wouldn’t even think to consider.
To make her chocolate chip cookies special, Tosi likes to add an ingredient not commonly seen in cookies: nonfat milk powder. Adding a tablespoon will make the cookies a bit chewier, as well as provide a whole new layer of flavor, and this creative idea is sure to have people coming back for seconds.
If you want to ensure the success of your cookies at a social function, try using cookie cutters to bake them in a different shape or size than the usual two- to three-inch round cookie. Additionally, if you’re feeling extra creative, you can add some mix-ins of your choosing, like peanut butter, M&M's, or candy canes!
