Different color of sawdust bars

[cjsmith]

New batch yesterday:
- Added 2 tablespoons of melted butter
- Increased from 3 eggs to 4
- Substituted approximately "a scoop" of unsweetened cocoa powder for one of the scoops of protein powder
- Added a couple vigorous shakes of the cinnamon shaker

They are darker. They are harder to get out of the pan. They are otherwise basically identical.

Now it's war.

i think maybe you need more fat -- maybe shortening? that's the fat of choice for softer cookies (butter makes for crisp cookies, unless you burn them, at which point you're screwed no matter what). what about peanut butter? where does stevia fall on your nasty-artificial-sweetener scale?

for flavor, it sounds like you're on the right path. cocoa, vanilla, dark chocolate chips, cinnamon ... sounds wonderful!

also, what is the measure of your scoop? 1/4 cup? 1/3 cup?

Yes, I definitely need to increase the fat. I thought a couple tablespoons would do it and I was way off. Need much more.

Peanut butter, if unsweetened, is good. I'll skip stevia.

I haven't the FOGGIEST what the measure of that scoop is. It's a bit less than 1/4 cup -- maybe 1/6 ? Before I experiment further I'm probably just going to go ahead and measure it.
