So I've decided to kick things off with something really classic, something practically everyone loves to eat - good old chocolate chip cookies. (and because a few people asked me to make some for them)
It's a pretty straightforward recipe but I guess it comes down to finding that one recipe that floats your boat. Personally, I'd take crunchy cookies over soft ones any day. These ones are pretty much crispy, but the inside is still moist and it has those gooey chocolate chips everyone loves, so here goes!!
Oh yes, click here for the recipe, aptly named 'Best Chocolate Chip Cookies'.
Basically you'd need flour, sugar (white & brown), butter (softened), baking soda, bit of water, vanilla extract, salt, eggs and chocolate chips! Of course you can add nuts and dried fruits if you'd like.
I think it's quite appalling that I still do not own an electric mixer so when I had to cream the white sugar, brown sugar and butter together, it was BY HAND. It was physically straining :(
Hershey's semi-sweet chocolate chips /oh the joy/
Before..... (this is where ice-cream scoops come in handy)
....and after! The recipe said 10 minutes at 175 degrees Celsius, but it really depends on your oven so just bake them till they're brown enough. My times varied between 10 to 15 minutes, 12 on average.
That top cookie's smiling at you :-)
Since this is only the first post, we're still getting used to the layout of the posts and all, so please tell us how you'd like us to format our posts, like what details we should include or leave out :-) and feel free to ask us any questions! This is only the beginning my friends. See ya!
