As a native NYer…I'm not a huge fan of overly crispy bagels…chewy, yes, but too crispy combines too many textures for me, personally, that conflict. Best bagel ever is a warm salt bagel with loads of butter on it. It's absolutely decadent and a true NYC icon! Love your videos!
I skipped the salt, and just used salted butter. I also add a pinch of instant coffee and cinnamon. Also sprinkled a bit of salt at the end, and I never add the water into the brown butter.
Perfect every time.
What about maple syrup instead of sugar
Chocolate Chip cookies are my favorite<3 so happy I chose food science as my major because love learning about all of this! Good Job Dan hope I become as smart as you
I have totally become addicted to all of these “What’s Eating Dan/Fans” videos after having only recently found them. You explain things so well and with such precision !! Kudos !!
Oh — and as for the lip, that’s just a little of what makes you YOU —- and I think it adds to the eye candy appeal for all of us who watch these videos. 😉
Dear Dan, thanks for the great videos. Science makes cooking easy and wonderful. How about a video about making the perfect Oat Meal Cookies?
sexy. kinda like a british spy vibe.
I have made these a few times and they are awesome!! Today I used the base recipe and subbed white chocolate and macadamia nuts for the chocolate chips. They are astounding!!
Thanks Dan!!
I didn't notice the lip. But now i can't unnotice =/
I’ve made this recipe as bar cookies many times now, and my family loves them that way. What I do is after I make the dough, I press it into a 9×13 Pyrex baking dish that I then refrigerate overnight. The next day I take it out of the fridge, let it rest at room temperature for half an hour or so, and then bake for 20 minutes at 375. I call them “I Can’t Be Bothered One Sheet At A Time Rotating Halfway Through Bar Cookies.” 😂😂
tbh I was far too distracted by his eyes to notice his lips!! 😉
I love your lip.
Special guest? Your husband?
I'm munching on a stroopwafel cookie.
I thought you were just a big Elvis fan. Now I'm disappointed.
I like the lip! It reminds me a bit of Stallone!
Dan is super handsome, smart and his lips are gorgeous 💋
Hey Dan, can the cookie recipe be adapted to serve as a tart crust? Or would you have to bake the cookies first and then crush them / mix with butter to form a cookie crust?
We made your recipe, it was hard to keep the water level right after some butter evaporated and removing part of the egg. Just added some water to the dough. Fantastic cookies, fed them to our friends last night and it was a hit
Love the video, chocolate chip are my favorite. I notice that many online recipes call for refrigerating the dough overnight before baking. Exactly what does this do?
Thanks.
I was born this way too.
ooh, ooh– do 'what's eating gilbert grape', next! lol
There are always a few people who comment on your lip, although it’s nobody’s business. But I thought it was a result of your jaw surgery, which you discussed in your stand up comedy video. Anyway, I was born with a defective heart….but I can still eat chocolate chip cookies!
That was too funny. I loved the play with the title.
Thanks Dan!
I’ve been watching Cooks Country and America’s Test Kitchen for as long as I can remember so I feel quite comfortable with saying that Dan Souza is so damn delicious. We should nickname him”Daddy Dan Souza!” I can watch him (and his adorable bottom lip) forever. You’re in my dreams Daddy Dan!
Thanks for recording this in a room without that annoying whistle/beep!
FYI today's Poe's birthday.
Oh my gosh Dan, I can’t believe people asked about your lip. How rude. Anyway, keep up the great videos. I absolutely LOVE ATK, and every thing you guys and gals do. I trust your cookbooks without question, and the flavor profiles you all develop are exactly in line with my personal pallet.
That was kinda cool that you told us about your lip — I wondered about it TBH, but I didn't comment about it.
But I wouldn't have recognized people's comments about it if I were you 😅
Who knew people would get so expressive over chocolate chips in a dough 🙆🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪
Please test reusable silicone baking mats!
I'd never noticed your lip before. It's a nice lip. They're both nice. But now I can't stop looking at them 😂
Also me: "Did he point to the fish, too, when he said 'crustaceans'?" ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Instead of 1 cup sugar, 2 cups brown sugar, can I use 3 cups sugar + 2 spoons molasses ??
Internet: Dan, can you explain to us how you were born that way?
Dan: born what way?
Internet: Perfect. ʕ •ᴥ• ʔ
Yeah, I noticed your lip but you should see what I was born with. 🦄
❤️Love the show… Great work Dan… 8^}
Clarified butter is a clear fat😉😋☺
I haven't tried it, but I think if I were going to make chocolate chip cookie bars, I'd lower the temp to 325°F — maybe even 300°F — and adapt some of the methods from Alton Brown's improved brownie recipe from Good Eats Reloaded. After all, brownies are really just cookies, and cookie bars are really just brownies!
There's no way to say it without sounding creepy dude, but your lip thing is adorable.
Smart, sexy, humble, the whole package.
🥰🥰🥰
A special guest in the next episode? Cool. Though I think we can be sure it won't be Chris Kimball 😉
I might be the only person out there that likes chipless chocolate chip cookies 😂well maybe 12 chips for the whole batch 😉😂😂
Great videos! One question, what's the best egg substitute for cookies?
Lip? No issue here for goodness sake! You're still handsome, no worries!!!
what is the best flour to use?
Kind/brand?
It’s part of his unique charm – the lip. Hi Dan.
