Cookie Day!

Posted by The Chubbychef on May 20, 2009 in General Food News

Ok so I made the big booboo of deleting my previous post of cookie making. (which I know sucks big time!)  So I decided to just repost and create a new entry just for the cookies!

Cookie making has always been something that is both relaxing and stressful. (Paradox much?) Its relaxing because I get to work out my aggressions and frustrations in mixing and well I get to control the amount of chocolate chunks that go into my cookies! Stressful because up until it starts baking in the oven I wouldn’t know if I over mixed and did everything right.

Since there is a secret ingredient that mom wants to protect, lets just call it the dry parts. Mix the dry parts with 4 oz. of eggs and 3/4 bar of butter cut into cubes to make for easier mixing. (TIP: If you want flatter and creamier cookies just add a bit more butter.)
 
Continue mixing the wet and dry parts until it is this consistency or all the flour has been folded into the mixture.
(TIP: Remember to try to keep the mixing to minimum to avoid over mixing. Also you may want to melt the butter instead of adding them in whole to lessen the work of mixing.)
 


 

Pre-heat oven to 180°C. Since my oven burns unevenly (don’t ask my why) Cooking time differs from one tray to another. Some taking 10 mins while others from 5 to 15 mins.

 


 

Now for the best part, EATING!!!!

 

The cookies turned out to be rich and creamy but not too sweet. The chocolate added that extra oommphh which made each bite exciting, never knowing if you’re about to get a bit of chocolate. I love that they were a bit flat and crunchy.

Cheers & Happy Eating!!
