Xavier Duran’s Scream Cookies

Ingredients:

1 1/2 sticks (6 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/4 cups dark brown sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon


Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375 Degrees Fahrenheit.

In a separate container, mix flour, baking soda, salt, and spices.

Place butter and sugar in another container and beat until creamy. Add egg and beat until well incorporated. You will need to scrape sides and mix again.

Add the mixed dry goods to the butter, sugar, egg mixture and beat until all ingredients have become well incorporated.

Take mixture by the spoonful and drop on cookie sheet. Keeping a distance of 2 inches from each cookie.

Place in the oven for 8-12 minutes.

During the baking time, sit facing or next to the oven and begin screaming. Unloading emotionally during baking helps cookies develop a more complex (but distant) flavor.

Half-way through the baking time, rotate sheet 180 degrees to ensure an evenly baked and screamed cookie.

 

Tips:

If you are fluent in any other language, screaming in that language develops deeper characteristics.

It is discouraged that you engage the cookies in a passive-aggressive argument, as this may lead to a highly resentful cookie.
