Aggression Cookies


(A post-modern Asian American performance poem)

2 cups unsalted butter, room temperature

1 cup sugar

2 cups light brown sugar

4 eggs

1 tbsp vanilla (this brand with a long name, sold at any yuppy
kitchenware boutique)

4 1/2 cups flour

2 tsps baking soda


With thick Chinese meat cleaver, hack to pieces:

24 oz semi-sweet chocolate bar

12 oz white chocolate bar

14 oz macadamia nuts


NOTE
You may substitute chocolate and white chocolate chips for the bars
if you are not feeling particularly angst-ridden.


Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a large bowl, thrash butter and sugars until uniform.

Beat in eggs and vanilla.

Add flour and baking soda; whip until smooth.

Toss in chocolate chunks and nuts.

To avoid the "chocolate chip cookie manhole cover" look,
refrigerate the cookie dough for a couple of hours before baking.


Throw batter by tablespoons full onto an ungreased
baking sheet—aim so that the cookies land 2 inches apart.

Bake until golden, about 10-12 minutes.

Using a spatula, pry the cookies loose from the baking sheet,
and allow them to vent on wire racks.


Makes about 4 dozen cookies.
