Think of a chilly winter afternoon over some freshly baked chocolate chip cookie and coffee or hot chocolate on the side. Well, the idea itself sounds tempting. But,what if the cookie is not coming from an oven, rather from a cement mixer? Sounds bizarre? Certainly it is, but true as well. Scroll down to find out.
In a video posted on Instagram, a person was seen making a “massive” chocolate chip cookie, but with a twist. Ditching the conventional kitchen procedure, he used a cement mixer to prepare the dessert. Yes, you read that right. The clip begins with the man adding 24 sticks of butter to the mixer. He melts them using a blowtorch advising viewers to use the tool instead as it is “way faster than a microwave”. Take a look at the video.
The viral video has garnered over 3 million views and gained many positive comments and reads, “We used a cement mixer to make a massive chocolate chip cookie.”
In the video, the man pours a generous amount of sugar and brown sugar into the mixer, followed by cracking open two dozen eggs and adding them to the huge equipment. Next up comes vanilla extract. After pouring baking soda, salt and baking powder, it was time to add three bags of flour. After mixing the ingredients thoroughly, then the cook shovels up the dough in a giant 4-foot aluminium pan and flattens it out.
The twist came in when he kept one section of the dough without any chocolate for his pet dog. The final few steps involve heating the dough in an oven with charcoal for 15 minutes. “It looked and smelled amazing,” said the man in the video. However, he confessed that the giant dessert tasted more like a brownie than a cookie.
