Tips from our Bakers

The most reliable way to make sure you have equal amounts of filling and chocolate dough is to use a cookie scoop. Our teaspoon scoop yields exactly 26 fillings when scooped with the dough level across the top. Our tablespoon scoop when filled level will yield exactly 26 chocolate blobs of dough to match.

If you're doubling this recipe, add an extra egg to the chocolate dough.

If you're making this dough ahead of time, add an 2 tablespoons of milk to the chocolate dough. It tends to dry out as it sits, and the extra moisture will keep the outside dough from cracking as you form the cookies.

Reviews for "Embracing the Potential of Small Changes: Unleashing the Magic Within"

1. Sarah - 2/5 - I was really excited to see "Those Magic Changes: Grease" as I'm a big fan of the original "Grease" movie. However, I was really disappointed with this performance. The cast seemed completely disconnected and lacked the energy and chemistry that made the original so enjoyable. The vocals were also weak and off-key, which took away from the overall experience. I left the theater feeling underwhelmed and wishing I had just rewatched the original instead.
2. Mike - 1/5 - "Those Magic Changes: Grease" was a complete letdown for me. The storyline felt disjointed, and it seemed like the actors were just going through the motions without truly immersing themselves in their characters. The choreography was sloppy, and the timing was off in many dance numbers. I found myself wishing for the show to end so I could leave the theater. Overall, this adaptation of "Grease" fell flat and didn't live up to the hype.
3. Emily - 2/5 - As a fan of the original "Grease," I had high hopes for "Those Magic Changes: Grease." Unfortunately, it failed to capture the magic of the original. The casting choices were questionable, and many of the actors seemed miscast. The chemistry between the characters was lacking, and the dialogue felt forced. Additionally, the production design was lackluster and didn't transport me back to the '50s like the original did. I left the theater feeling disappointed and longing for a screening of the original "Grease" instead.
