Chocolate Chip Cookie Delight

I’ve already mentioned that baking cookies has always been a family thing. So during this time of crisis where all forms of communication was lost, the best we could to do to comfort each other was to go baking. And so we baked cookies.

People have been asking me what is the secret to our awesome cookies. Do we add some magic ingredient? Is the butter? The quality of flour? The chips? And I always end up answering them that we use regular ingredients as well as average butter. (But I do admit that using Magnolia Butter Gold will make your cookies richer and creamier!) It all lies in the preparation and the technique. The butter must be creamed instead of melted. The number of folds the batter gets also is very crucial.

In baking everything is very exact. The measurements, the technique, the precision, every little thing is important. Unlike in cooking, you can freestyle. Adjust salt and pepper and other flavors according to one’s palette. That is why I love cooking more than baking.

The cookies we made ended up being chewy and so far the best batch we’ve made. Just a little something to warm the heart.
