[at-l] Great Trail Recipe (From an Engineer's Standpoint)

Chocolate Chip Cookies:
Ingredients:
1.)   532.35 cm3 gluten
2.)   4.9 cm3 NaHCO3
3.)   4.9 cm3 refined halite
4.)   236.6 cm3 partially hydrogenated tallow triglyceride
5.)   177.45 cm3 crystalline C12H22O11
6.)   177.45 cm3 unrefined C12H22O11
7.)   4.9 cm3 methyl ether of protocatechuic aldehyde
8.)   Two calcium carbonate-encapsulated avian albumen-coated
      protein
9.)   473.2 cm3 theobroma cacao
10.)  236.6 cm3 de-encapsulated legume meats (sieve size #10)
To a 2-L jacketed round reactor vessel (reactor #1) with an
overall heat transfer coefficient of about 100 Btu/F-ft2-hr, add
ingredients one, two and three with constant agitation.  In a
second 2-L reactor vessel with a radial flow impeller operating
at 100 rpm, add ingredients four, five, six, and seven until the
mixture is homogenous.  To reactor #2, add ingredient eight,
followed by three equal volumes of the homogenous mixture in
reactor #1. Additionally, add ingredient nine and ten slowly,
with constant agitation. Care must be taken at this point in the
reaction to control any temperature rise that may be the result
of an exothermic reaction.
Using a screw extrude attached to a #4 nodulizer, place the
mixture piece-meal on a 316SS sheet (300 x 600 mm).  Heat in a
460K oven for a period of time that is in agreement with Frank &
Johnston's first order rate expression (see JACOS, 21, 55), or
until golden brown. Once the reaction is complete, place the
sheet on a 25C heat-transfer table, allowing the product to come
to equilibrium.
PS -  don't try this at home.<<
And a reply:
1. I would tend to question the use of a #4 nodulizer for
extrusion of the final reaction mixture. At that point, my
preference would be to dispense empirically using a teaspoon.
2. The oven temperature is too low by 4 degrees. No sense in
being imprecise.
3. One substitution that might appeal to some would be crushed
walnuts in place of the peanuts, green peas, or mesquite beans.
4. I think it needs more vanilla.
