Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies

hellooo people...!!!

first of all, hari raya is just around the corner so everybody must be very busy preparing all stuff that need to be fixed and changed at home..but one element during hari raya that never fades by time and always be evergreen is none other than desserts...so for this post and afterwards, i just wanna give away some recipes and tips about baking biscuits, cookies and biscotti..so what are you waiting for??it's time for baking!!!

for the first recipe today, i wanna show you how to make a good Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies which always be my one of my fave during hari raya..i really like chocolate which explains why i put another chocolate cookie recipe on my blog..i couldn't resist this irresistable chocolate cookie as it is a cross between the very chocolately Chocolate Fudge Cookie and the buttery Chocolate Cookie..these soft textured cookies contain three types of chocolates, unsweetened cocoa powder, melted dark chocolate and chocolate chips which gives them a rich and complex chocolate flavor..so let's get started!!!


ingredients:
  • 280g of semi sweet chocolate, chopped @ 1 1/2 cups of semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 220g of all purpose flour
  • 35g of unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/4 tsp of baking soda
  • 1 1/4 tsp of salt
  • 1 cup of butter
  • 1/2 cup od dark brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 tsp of vanilla extract
  • 125g of semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup of pecan or walnut, chopped (optional)

methods:

  • melt the 280g of semi sweet chocolate in a stainless steel bowl placed over a saucepan of simmering water. remove from heat and set aside to cool to room temperature.
  • in a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
  • in a nother bowl of your electric mixer, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy (2-3 mins).scrape both sides of the bowl and add the melted chocolate and beat until weel incorporated. add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. then beat in the vanilla extract.
  • add the flour in stages, mixing until incorporated. fold in the chocolate chips and nuts.
  • form the dough into small balls and place them on the baking sheet. with moisten hand, gently flatten the balls into your desired cookies.
  • bake the cookies for about 14-17 minutes . the cookies are done when they are just barely set in the center. they should still be soft. remove them fron the oven and let them cool for minutes on the baking sheet before transferred onto the wire rack to cool.

i myself alone usually bake my cookies into giant sized coz i love large cookies..but if my mum joins my baking session, she always blabbering about my giant cookies and she's gonna fixed them into normal tads..for she loves small bites than i do..even though she's not sooo into cookies or cakes..

wait for my next post..

until then,

i know u love me..
