Sometimes I will bake something and I never get a chance to post it. Why? My hidden stash is found. I think I will be finding a new hiding area. When I was a teenager, my best friend's father would hide his sweets in unusual places like the dishwasher. With my luck, my family would decide to do dishes for me and still find them.
1 cup unsalted butter, cubed and chilled
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup dark cocoa powder
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
2 1/2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Combine the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture.
- Mix in the cocoa powder and blend until well incorporated.
- Add the flour, salt, and baking powder and mix until just incorporated.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Transfer the dough to a clean surface and knead briefly until well combined.
- Divide the dough into desired portion size. For giant cookies, divide into 12 equal pieces.
- Place the dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet 2 inches apart.
- Bake the dough for about 16 minutes or until set.
- Allow the cookies to cool for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

-The first dishwasher patent was to Joel Houghton in 1850. His patent only splashed water on dishes.
-In 1886, Josephine Cochran decided to invent a workable, mechanical dishwasher in which she reveiled at the 1893 World Fair.
-Her main customers at the time were hotels and large restaurants.
-The general public was interested in her invention until the 1950s.
Does anyone know what famous company Josephine Cochran founded?
