In the communist world, everything is equal, right down to the baked goods. Sure, these cookies may sacrifice something to taste for the sake of their values--but hey, as long as they're evenly proportioned.
From "In the Kitchen with Vlad" by Vladimir Lenin
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups flour, sifted three times to ensure homogeneity
2 cups brown sugar
2 cups white sugar
2 cups butter, straight off the collectively run farm
2 cups eggs
2 cups baking soda
2 cups salt
2 cups pure vanilla extract
2 cups chocolate chips, melted
Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Combine softened butter, sugar and vanilla extract, stirring until everything is completely blended and the texture is entirely uniform. Any clumps or streaks must be promptly eliminated. Add eggs, one cup at a time (separate yolks to create equal cups if necessary), and beat until fully incorporated into the larger mass of ingredients. Mix together flour, baking soda, and salt, and sift this mixture twice more to ensure complete homogeneity. Add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, taking special care to be sure that no individualistically-minded strains of dry ingredients escape from being blended into submission. Next, stir in the melted chocolate. (Unmelted chocolate chips are absolutely unacceptable, lest the cookies not be completely uniform in color, texture, and amount of ingredients. For the same reason, chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or creative add-ins of any kind are forbidden.)
Using an accurate metric scale, measure out exactly 20 grams of the mixture for each cookie, and place cookies precisely 20 centimeters apart on a cookie sheet (use a ruler and/or measuring tape, and double-check all measurements). Bake for 20 minutes, rotating baking sheet 90 degrees every five minutes to ensure each cookie receives even heat. Remove cookies from the oven, let cool for 20 minutes, divide equally among everyone, and enjoy (but no more or less than anyone else)!
