This is a little beyond me - but the dumb question is 'why not use natural cocoa powder?' alkalized powder modifies color and to some extent solubility & taste. But in a cookie, how important is this?Maybe a blend of natural & alkalized powder might work.Regards Chris taylor

Hi Cristopher,Thanks for your kind advise to use combination of both natural as well as alkalised cocoa powder I think this will definately work,will let you know after conducting trials for that.For your querry why to go for alkalised cocoa powder for that my answer is I want to develop new taste of cocoa to consumers so that it should be liked by everybody besides naural cocoa powder.Regards
