Remove from skin, dice, slice, get about 4 hours if on a plate and 1 day if in a container with avocado oil. Use this for parties of 1000 all the time.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242307171794878325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3629569640654321377.post-7544130280431243252009-02-03T16:06:00.000-05:002009-02-03T16:06:00.000-05:00Leave it to wacky Alton Brown!

Cooking does change the color and flavor a little bit in my opinion. <BR/><BR/>How is the avo testing going?

They just melt and then when the cookies cool a little, it makes for a nice chew. <BR/><BR/>I would highly recommend Shirley Corriher's *Bakewise* if you want to learn how to tinker with baking recipes. She is a food chemistry goddess, and, of course, I first learned of her from Alton Brown.Rachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01362231287605031641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3629569640654321377.post-32440942840995232852009-01-21T13:49:00.000-05:002009-01-21T13:49:00.000-05:00I just wanted to say that you're an excellent writ...I just wanted to say that you're an excellent writer, and your blog is very interesting and entertaining.

Yesterday I did his chewy recipe. Last weekend I did his thin recipe. I think I prefer the thin so far. I found the cooking time on the chewy needed to be played with- all depends on your oven, of course. I look forward to hearing your thoughts!<BR/><BR/>I voted my heart out for you! A friend and I even tried to get the folks over at Cake Wrecks to put out a call to vote for you as a way to prove they weren't cheating or something. <BR/><BR/>Alton Brown is my fave, too. He's entertaining and smart and likeable and all that!!Eternal Lizdomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12436844959718198383noreply@blogger.com
