If I add the baking cocoa in a recipe I need to change other components? I want to add the baking cocoa in a recipe for cookies for a chocolate version of the cookie.
Do I need to add or subtract any ingredient in the recipe? While adding more sugar or less flour to the consistency and taste right?
Usually, you just add a little cocoa Anouti a recipe for a deep chocolate flavor. So I do not think you need to change the recipe. However, if the mixture is too thick at the end, you can add a small amount of liquid thin it to desired consistency.
~ Do not worry, you will not have to change the recipe, I do it all the time with my recipe for chocolate chip cookies! ~
You have to substitute some of the flour for the amount of cocoa that you want to use.
For example, if you want to use 50g of cocoa and the recipe needs 300g of flour, then use 250g of flour and 50g cocoa.
Probably adding a little extra water would be nice if you get the correct consistency. Depending on the amount of cocoa powder you add, you can add a cup 1 / 4 of sugar.
I would not put sugar in the recipe lower than cocoa is not soft and you'll still need the full amount requested. (You can add a tablespoon of sugar added so I think it's to your taste) Try to add the cocoa and check the consistency of the dough, if it seems too dry then add a little milk, just a tablespoon at a time. You did not mention the quantity of cocoa in the recipe to you so it is difficult to say how it will affect it. I think that this changes the set time has elapsed. Sometimes I add nuts to a cookie recipe and it goes well. I think of a recipe as a starting point and add things to my taste-testing and error! Try 1 / 2 recipe of cookies so if it is not fair, then you have not lost too many ingredients.
