Why’d someone eat one square of dark chocolate after brekkies every day?
Question by Curious Georgina: Why’d someone eat one square of dark chocolate after brekkies every day?
I was reading a profile of a famous musician once and in his trivia it said that he ALWAYS ate one square (no more and no less) of dark chocolate a day, and he always ate it straight after breakfast. It was his little ritual.
Can anyone think of any beneficial reason why someone would eat that, at that particular time? I’ve been wracking my brains and can’t come up with anything

Q&A: Chocolate “Gingerbread” House recipes?

I want to make a Christmas Gingerbread-type house with my kids this year, but we hate gingerbread and would like to make one with a chocolate based cookie instead. Anyone have any good recipes?

Answer by Moojoo
I like this recipe; it’s for ice cream sandwich cookies:
1/2 C butter, at room temperature
generous 1/2 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 3/4 C all-purpose flour
1/4 C Cocoa powder (the unsweetened kind)
Preheat the oven to 350. Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, then beat in the egg. Stir in the flour and cocoa powder to make a firm dough.
Roll the dough out to 1/4 in on baking parchment (or a light sprinkling of powdered sugar). Cut out cookies using a 3 in round cookie cutter (you’d cut out your gingerbread house pattern). Bake for about 15 minutes. Leave on the baking sheets to cool.
If you plan to eat the gingerbread house, I would recommend adding about a tablespoon of extra sugar, and maybe underbaking them by a minute or so. They aren’t very sweet, and are fairly hard to stand up to the ice cream.

HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE VODKA
Basic vodka could actually be turned into a drink more luscious even before adding it into a mixer. Why don’t you try combining vodka and chocolate for a much cheaper and tastier substitute to the more luxurious and expensive flavored vodkas you usually buy at the liquor store.
As a matter of fact, you could dissolve melted chocolate into vodka. It’s very easy to do and makes for an astounding drink for those who swear by chocolate and would love a kick of alcohol! The type of chocolate you use is up to you.

Trying to bake chocolate chip cookies and may have run into a snag. Help!?
Question by tomlawbcs: Trying to bake chocolate chip cookies and may have run into a snag. Help!?
The making of the dough was not a problem. But I thought me and my daughter could make “decorative” Christmas cookies out of chocolate chip dough. I see now that this may be a problem.
Anyway, we have a boot-star-tree and do we use the ornaments to put the dough in and then leave them on while we cook the cookies or remove the ornaments?
I guess it all could work. But I can see now why sugar cookies and the like are more common for decorative cookies…

Answer by Emma
The cookies are going to spread and distort the shape you’re looking to create. You could bake the cookies by pressing all the dough into a baking sheet and then cutting the shape you want after they’ve cooked and cooled slightly. You can then outline and decorate the shape with some stiff frosting to make it more clear what the shape is.
