Pallasite Meteorite Cookie Revenge.
I admit it, 'what I made was a river stone.'
The cookies I baked to participate in Nao Kurosaki's project had poor timing for adding the bamboo charcoal, resulting in cookies with an unsightly mottled pattern of black and gray. Also, I didn't have enough candy.
What do you mean 'I thought a mottled color would look more like a stone'? You were aiming for a pallasite, not a stony meteorite!
I can't just back down like this.
At the very least, I want to make pallasite meteorite cookies with a uniform gray color!
Making the cookie dough
The ingredients for the cookie dough haven't changed since last time. I want to minimize dishwashing, so I'll measure the cake flour after adding the powdered sugar.
Stained glass cookie dough is really easy to make, isn't it... I've been pushed around by agar lately, so this is almost scarily simple.
Now, this time I'll add the bamboo charcoal after the egg yolk. Since 1/2 teaspoon was too much last time, I'll reduce it further and start by checking with 1/4 teaspoon.
1/4 teaspoon is plenty. It's a fairly dark gray, but the color should lighten once I add the cake flour.
……It doesn't look like it changed much, does it?
Crush the candies
Last time I didn't have enough candy, so buying three bags should provide plenty of the orange, yellow, and green combination.
—Wait, I only have 1.5 times as much as last time!
I had no choice but to pick out only the orange from the other combinations, and I collected the leftover pink and light blue ones in a Ziploc bag.
Last time I put the baking sheet with the candies on the bottom rack, but this time I put it on the top rack to save time. Though I only managed to save 2 minutes.
Next, while the candy is still soft, crush it thin and put it in the freezer. This is as far as I got last night.
I resumed work during my lunch break today. Since I struggled with the stickiness of the crushed candy last time, I'll keep it in the freezer until the cookie dough is ready to bake.
Bake the cookies
Last time, I rolled out the dough before making the holes, but to give the holes a natural distortion, I made the holes first, then rolled it out, then made the holes again and rolled it out... repeating this process.
I'll bake the cookie dough for a bit. It, it actually turned a uniform gray...!
People might say it looks like a rock as it is, but reproducing a metallic luster is honestly impossible.
I'll take the crushed candy out of the freezer and fill the holes.
If you search for images of pallasite meteorites, you'll see that even in slices, not all the peridot is translucent, so I'll pile it on generously, assuming the candy will overflow.
The holes were filled completely with candy up to the top.
My lunch break ended here, so I left it to cool until the next break.
Complete!
Although the taste is the same as last time, it has become a Pallasite Meteorite Cookie with a vastly improved appearance!
If I want to aim higher, I'll need to pursue the number and shape of the holes. Though it seems like the candy, not the cookie, will become the main part.
When I had my niece who was visiting eat it, she said, It was like a potato chip!
Huh!? I didn't use any salt at all!?
Could it be the texture!? Is it the texture of biting into candy!?
