C is for Cookie! Yummy!

So today is a more interesting day. Woke up and executed my plan of cookie tasting. Wanted to bake the cookies to bring to Bible Study for them to sample. I intend to use the recipe to bake the cookies for the Thanksgiving party favour. So wanted some feedback before the time comes, in case I need to make some changes.


Anyways, the feedback was that the cookie is nice cause not that sweet. I used dark chocolate morsels instead of the usual semi-sweet morsels. The cookies turn out a bit dark as I used the dark brown sugar rather than the light brown sugar. The recipe is below the pictures.




Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients:
110g butter (softened)
85g sugar (i used organic sugar)
85g packed brown sugar (i used dark brown sugar)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
250g plain flour
2 eggs
220g chocolate morsels (i used dark chocolate morsels)
110g chopped nuts (i used macadamia nuts, halved)
Method:
  1. Pre-heat oven to 190ºC or 370ºF
  2. Add butter, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract into a mixing bowl. Beat until creamy. (i used a hand-held egg beater)
  3. Add in eggs , one by one, and continue to beat until creamy and texture constant.
  4. In a clean bowl, add in salt, baking soda and flour. Mix well.
  5. Add the flour mixture to the above mixture and beat well.
  6. Add in the chocolate morsels and nuts. Use a spatula and mix well. (i added the nuts on each cookie dough)
  7. Drop a small amount of the dough (look at the photo for sample of dough compared to a half macadamia nut). Leave some space in between dough drops as they expand during baking.
  8. Bake for 8 to 9 mins.
  9. Remove from oven and leave to cool totally before storing. (if stored before totally cooled, cookies will be a bit soft)

Hope you enjoy the cookies!

Do give me feedback if any. Thanks!
