C5 Part 2: Diabetic Boogaloo

It is time! Soon the streets will be filled with the drool-drenched comatose bodies of butter-induced shock victims. They will call me a monster, but in truth they should be grateful. Is there a sweeter way to leave this mortal plane than to do so while passionately embracing one of these chocolate goddesses? Breathing deep its intoxicating aroma as it overtakes your senses. It exists to be consumed and you to consume it. You cast off your earthly existence and enter a state of euphoria like none have known before or will ever again. After an experience like that, who among us would care if their organs were harvested to support the agenda of a murderous tyrannical baker bent on world conquest and everlasting life to further extend his torment of mankind and all that have ever held feelings of hope and love in this world? Not I, my friends. Not I.

Back to the task at hand!

Chocolate-Chip Coronary-Carnage Cookies
codename: C5

Procedure:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and prepare a baking sheet with foil, parchment paper, or a nonstick baking mat.
2. After 24 hours in the fridge, the dough should be nice and firm yielding much plumper cookies. Scoop 6 mounds of dough, roughly the size of large golf balls, onto your baking sheet.


Experiment note #3: Try to push any chocolate pieces resting on the top of your cookies deeper inside the dough to avoid what happened in the picture to the left. Your victims may be less willing to ingest your sugary Trojan horse if your soldiers are too busy screaming their whereabouts.


3. Sprinkle the top of your cookie dough with a dash of sea salt.
4. Place your baking pan in the oven and let it bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
5. Transfer your cookies to a wire rack for 10 minutes in order to cool off.
6. Give to your enemies.

Experiment note #4: Yields 1.5 dozen 5-inch cookies.


In the end I would call this attempt a complete success. Simply tasting this treat has caused my knees to buckle more than once and my teeth to beg for the sweet embrace of death just to stop their pain. The effectiveness of this weapon also seems to increase when served at a warm temperature.

Dastardly Plan Note #1
For now my major sugary experimentations will be taking place on Sundays with the documentation released on Mondays (with the exception of tomorrow). Smaller findings and studies may be posted indiscriminately throughout the week. Changes may occur when my alter-ego's classes begin.

Get 'Em While They're Young (C5 - Part 1)

Ah the chocolate chip cookie. There is no better place to start my complete savory takeover than with the simplest yet most devious of sweets. Introduced to the mindless sheep at a young age, with promises of gifts from a fat man, this cookie has been imprinted in the brain as a thing of joy and elation. With just one whiff of its moist buttery-chocolaty goodness it can bring the world shamelessly salivating at its feet. I must harness this power. It must be my feet covered with the drool of the masses!

And so begins the experiment...

Chocolate-Chip Coronary-Carnage Cookies
codename: C5
Experiment note #1: For this attempt I shall be following the process of one, Jacques Torres. A man who has been said to have already cracked into the cookie's true demonic potential.
Experiment note #2: This is a two day procedure, so you must plan ahead.


A side of villainy that few ever see is the preparation it takes to pull off a successful plan. They just assume it's an easy task to decapitate an archenemy in such an inhumane manner that all who witness the event are forced to question their own existence. It requires some time and Project
C5 is no different. Rounding up the ingredients alone proved to be a difficult task. You wouldn't believe the amount of limbs people had to lose so that I could mine on cake flour!


Materials:
2 cups minus 2 tablespoons of cake flour
1 2/3 cups of bread flour
1 1/4 teaspoons of baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons of coarse salt (sea salt)
1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
1 1/4 cups of unsalted butter
1 1/4 cups of light brown sugar
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar (white)
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
1 1/4 pounds of bittersweet (cocoa value >=60%) chocolate disks/fevers

Procedure:
1. Combine flours, baking soda, baking powder, and salt into a bowl.
2. In separate bowl, use a mixer or your hands (I usually don't recommend touching dangerous chemicals, but it is doable) to cream the butter and sugars together until light in texture.
3. Add eggs one at a time into the sugar-butter-cream bowl, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
4. Add the vanilla extract to the mixture
5. Reduce speed and add the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
6. Add the chocolate pieces and mix into the mixture doing your best not to break the pieces apart.
7. Press the dough into plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 24-36 hours.

I've reached this part of the experiment without too many complications. I sadly waited too long to add the chocolate to the mix so it became more difficult to amalgamate properly. Let us hope this will not diminish the weapon's effectiveness. For now, I must let my beauty mature.

I can already see the artery destruction.
