Sin City Dirty Chips Recipes

SIN CITY COOKIES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cold butter on medium speed, about 1 minute. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar and mix until incorporated. Add the eggs and vanilla. Mix on medium-low speed until the mixture looks separated. Turn off the machine and add the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed just until the dough comes together. Turn off the machine and fold in the chocolate chips by hand using a rubber spatula.
• Drop the dough onto a parchment-lined sheet tray in 1-cup mounds. Place the tray in the freezer and freeze for 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Bake straight from the freezer until still slightly under baked in the middle but golden brown around the edges and beginning to brown on top, 20 minutes.
• Cool the cookies on the tray for 5 minutes before cooling completely on a wire rack.

GINGER CHIPS

Steps:

• Peel ginger. Slice against the grain of the root to prevent chips from being stringy. When slicing, slice pieces as thinly as possible. If young ginger is not available, use of common ginger can be substituted. In the case of using common ginger, after slicing, rinse pieces in cold water and let soak for at least 12 hours, occasionally changing water. This will remove sharpness, so that it won't be overpowering. Heat a saute pan with olive oil. Heat to about 300 degrees F. Lightly dust ginger chips in cornstarch and fry in hot oil. Turn chips for even cooking. When golden brown, remove. Store on a towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil. Use as desired.
