Abstract

The composition contains a flour with a high gluten ratio, such as hard spring wheat flour together with a stabilizer such as gelatin to retain moisture during baking in a microwave oven.
Claims6
A method of making a cookie having a soft chewy texture similar to that of home baked cookies comprising the steps of:
- 1) creaming butter or shortening with sugars and a stabilizing agent for a time which is sufficient to provide a smooth texture indicative of adequate mixing;
- 2) adding liquid ingredients including water in the range of from 3% to 8% to provide a selected moisture content;
- 3) adding blended dry ingredients including high gluten flour having a protein level of 13 to 19% and blending to make a stretchy dough to allow the cookie to rise quickly when microwaved and yet still trap the water within the dough;
- 4) freezing the dough;
- 5) baking the frozen dough in a microwave oven to form said cookie.
