Watching food network tonight, Caitlin and I got a hankering for some cookies. Sadly, we had no baking powder. A quick googling later, and we found that you can substitute pancake mix. The basic recipe was sourced from another site, but we made some pretty drastic changes so we could call it our own.<br/><br/><div style=”text-align: center;”><img align=”none” alt=”cookie picture” border=”1″ src=”http://www.iammike.org/cutenews/data/upimages/cookies_pancake_batter_rocky_road.jpg”/><br/></div><br/><span style=”font-weight: bold;”>Ingredients</span><br/><ul type=”square”><li>1/2 cup butter (unsalted)</li><li>3/4 cup brown sugar</li><li>1 egg</li><li>Splash of coffee licquer</li><li>2 cups buttermilk pancake mix<br/></li><li>1/2 cup chopped walnuts</li><li>1 cup milk chocolate chips</li><li>2 handfuls mini marshmallows</li></ul><span style=”font-weight: bold;”>Steps<br/></span><ol><li>Preheat oven to 375.</li><li>Mix butter, brown sugar, egg, and Kahlua in medium-sized bowl.</li><li>Slowly stir in all other ingredients</li><li>Place a teaspoonfuls on an ungreased baking sheet about 3 inches apart.</li><li>Bake for ~12 minutes or until nicely browned.</li></ol><span style=”font-weight: bold;”>Conclusion<br/></span>Quite tasty, but they were a huge pain to remove from the baking sheets. I’d suggest using as thin a spatula as possible and as quickly as possible. The marshmallows froze to the pan… Additionally, using the pancake mix resulted in cookies that were much more fragile than what you’re used to. Regardless, it was an interesting change. I’d also use fewer marshmallows (Caitlin’s fault) as they interrupted the binding of the cookies. I also might not mix them in to the batter and instead just place them on the spooned out batter; they left empty voids in the cookies, which couldn’t have been good for cooking.<br/><br/><span style=”font-weight: bold;”>7.8/10</span> – Good in a pinch, but I’ll surely be picking up some baking powder tomorrow.<br/><span style=”font-weight: bold;”></span><span style=”font-weight: bold;”></span>
