Found an interesting looking cookie recipe, but after mixing, it says to chill for 15 minutes than form into log and freeze, then slice to bake.
What is the chemistry behind this? (I am asking not because of laziness, because I am loathe to slice a hunk of cookie dough; I haven't been able to make nice looking slices; I'd rather form cookies the old-fashioned way).
The recipe calls for melted chocolate with butter, then mixing in an egg, coffee powder, sugar, flour, baking powder, salt and more chocolate.
Thanks !
