Let's just say that everybody loved these! They kind of look like chocolate hamburgers .
I think that this is the best way to bake something on the kettle. It is just my opinion ,but I have done a lot of baked goods on the grill and there are some real advantages to this method. 1) You get better heat on the top of whatever you are cooking.2) More even heat without having to turn halfway through the cook time. 3)Cooks even without too much heat right under the food so you will not burn the bottom while you wait for the top/middle of your cake or bread etc. to get set. You don't need to use a cast iron pizza pan but raising whatever pan you use up off of the grates and spreading the charcoal in a circle around the bowl works for me! So since I am giving out advice and since you are still reading this post you must be interested in said advice....so....If you are baking something you do NOT usually want any smoky flavor....to avoid this you will want your charcoal to be fully lit by the time you put the food on....if you try to Minion this kind of cook you will be sorry unless you like smoke flavored cheesecake or cookies!
Since most bakes usually only need about an hour or less my suggestion is to build the fire a little too hot to allow for the temp drop off towards the end. You don't want to add unlit coal to your heat to bring the temp back up because it WILL smoke! I do this all the time when I do a low and slow and need it to go for a while longer but with meat the added smoke towards the end of a long cook won't hurt it since your meat will only absorb smoke for the first hour or so.....any more smoke will just color the meat and at worst make it bitter. Anyway it was another fun cook.....I mean bake.
Oh yeah, these cookies are crunchy on the outside but chewy on the inside! YUM!
