Oh well, I’ve heard the whole buzz about chocolate chip cookies and a warm/cold cup of milk to go with it, and I’ve never really got it. Okay, so its a cookie and that’s a glass of milk. What’s the big deal, right? Well, no. As I found out through experience just a while ago, chocolate chip cookies DO really go well with a cold cup of milk, and the best thing to have on a weekend morning! :)
So there was this whole what’s-the-deal-with-choco-chip-cookies and also this tea party that a friend is hosting this evening. Two good reasons to dunk in a whole lot of butter, and I thought why-not!
I took a basic recipe of chocolate chip cookie, and modified it slightly to make it eggless, and more chocolatey.
Ingredients
125 gms dark baking chocolate bar
2 cups AP flour
2/3 cup Cadbury’s cocoa powder
1 1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
200 gms butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup while sugar
4 tbsp thick cream
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave for 50 secs and temper it well enough, set it aside to cool.
Pre-heat the oven to 185C.
Sieve the flour with cocoa powder, salt and baking soda.
In another bowl, cream the butter with the sugars. Add cream and melted chocolate to this mixture, and mix well. Now add the vanilla essence and mix well.
To this butter mixture, add the flours and mix well enough. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Pour dollops of this batter on a parchment paper and a cookie sheet , and bake for 14mins.
Let the cookies cool on a wire rack.
And yes, whatever is left off the batter in the bowl, please lick it off. :-D
These measurements yielded ~30 mid-sized cookies.
