Cookie recipe (Patreon)

"Great Scott!" you're probably thinking. "Is Tegerio too lazy to DRAW?"

The answer is yes. Here are some more Gmod screenshots for you to ogle, some of which are outtakes from the FNIA Fanfic at sprocketholevandal.tumblr.com ... but the REAL post is down below.

One: Officer Flint poses in her off-duty attire. This is not from the Fanfic, but a special shoot trying out a new Flint model that came with a lot of different outfits. It's still got some problems but it is the best port of Flint to Gmod so far. The character model was created by Warfaremachine.

Two: Cordelia scolds Sexy Foxy while Foxy mugs the camera and quips "Women, am I right?" (LAUGH) Sexy Foxy is designed by Disembowell. The Cordelia model is by CryptiaCurves.

Three: Sabrina has a guest appearance in the story as a demon-possessed plushie. The model was in the Workshop and I thought it would be funny. Nobody tell Eric W. Schwartz!

Four: Toy Bonfie joins in Flint's glamour photo shoot. Near as I can figure, the bunny was made by somebody named Reineblau.

And now, what you've all been waiting for:

Crispy Choco Cookies

So good you'll plotz! (Modified from a "homemade Oreos" recipe I found online 20 years ago)

FIRST (like, in the morning of the day you plan to bake) set out 1/2 cup plus 2tbsp (that's a stick and a quarter) of unsalted butter to warm up to room temperature. This is important. You want that butter to be soft.

You need a large mixing bowl, a sturdy spoon (probably wooden so it won't bend), a cookie sheet covered with baking parchment, and a second cookie sheet (or cutting board; something large & flat.)

Start preheating your oven to 375 (Fahrenheit). Combine these dry ingredients in the bowl:

1 and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup cocoa

1tsp baking SODA

1/4tsp baking POWDER

1/4tsp salt

1tsp cinnamon

1 and 1/2 cup sugar

3/4 cup of nuts (I use walnuts, obviously, but peanuts would work and hazelnuts would probably be amazing. Also, you can use less nuts than this - BUT NOT MORE. There won't be enough dough to hold the cookies together if you exceed this amount. You can also leave the nuts out and make plain chocolate cookies.)

When the dry ingredients are thoroughly mixed, put in the butter plus:

1 egg

1tsp vanilla extract

Start chopping the butter with your sturdy spoon and mashing it into the dry powder. You will start to give up hope because it looks like you have a bowl of lumpy dust that will never form dough. Once the butter is chopped into small enough chunks, it's time to reach in there with one hand, grab a fistful of this stuff and squeeze. Use the spoon to pry it up from underneath and just keep squeezing & smashing until eventually it will form a ball of brown, buttery-slick dough. Knead it a few times just to make sure, then pinch off handfuls approximately the size of ping-pong balls and press them down flat on the cookie sheet, about 1 inch apart. Bake for 11 minutes and then transfer the cookies off of the hot sheet and onto a cool surface where they will harden. (If you prefer chewy cookies, use a shorter cook time, but you want them to be done! 9 minutes is probably the shortest you can get away with.)

Yields about 2 dozen, depending on how big you make them. Obviously you'll get slightly less if you leave out the nuts.
