Last years ROTY was Coffee Cake.

After some fine tuning this fall, we finally had our recipe, shares Ameden.

I quickly discovered that this recipe is different in several ways.

(In fact, you don’t need an electric mixer at all for this recipe.)

“Melted butter creates dense, fudgy cookies.

“The flour is also different.

Its what helps make Japanese milk bread so soft and pillowy.

Its a quick step that Ameden says makes a big difference.

Tzanzhong created a unique texture and appearance we had never seen before.

Letting cookie dough chill out has a couple of big perks.

Second, resting concentrates the flavors in the cookies, giving them a richer sweet and toasty punch.

Score one for the impatient among us.

It had golden brown crispy edges and a soft center shot through with pockets of melted chocolate.

In short, it was a complete and total winner.
