Chocolate cookies with white chocolate chips


Every time I bake chocolate chip cookies, my kiddos get so excited—it’s like a mini party in my home! I try to complete all the baking just before they get back home from school…coz I love to see their faces light up the moment they smell the sweet, buttery aroma in our house. This time I tried a different kind of chocolate chip cookies. Instead of the vanilla cookie with dark chocolate chips, I baked a batch of chocolate cookies with white chocolate chips. It was an instant hit and my kids loved it. 

The joy on their faces when they get to enjoy these homemade cookies makes every baking session worth it.

So here’s the recipe: 

Ingredients 

½ cup of unsalted butter

½ cup white sugar powdered 

¼ cup brown sugar powdered

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 egg

1 cup flour

½ cup cocoa powder 

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

¾ cup white chocolate chips


Method:

Preheat the oven to 180°C. 

Microwave the butter for about 40 seconds to just barely melt it. It shouldn't be hot - but it should be almost entirely in liquid form.

Using a stand mixer or electric beater, beat the butter with the sugars until creamy. Add the vanilla and the egg, beat on low speed until just incorporated - 10-15 seconds or so (if you beat the egg for too long, the cookies will be stiff).

Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until crumbles form. Use your hands to press the crumbles together into a dough. It should form one large ball that is easy to handle (right at the stage between "wet" dough and "dry" dough). 

Add the white chocolate chips and incorporate with your hands.

Roll the dough into balls and place on a cookie sheet. 

Bake for 9-11 minutes until the cookies look puffy.

NOTE: DO NOT OVER BAKE. 

This is essential for keeping the cookies soft. Take them out even if they look like they're not done yet. They'll be pale and puffy.

Let them cool on the pan for a good 30 minutes or so. They will sink down and turn into these dense, buttery, soft cookies that are simply the best. These should stay soft for many days if kept in an airtight container.

The best chocolate chip cookies are soft in the middle and a little crispy around the edges—with extra chocolate and lots of brown sugar! These chocolate chip cookies are easy to make and your family will love them! 

Have it with a glass of milk....I've often felt it is the best combination.

Crunchy Veggie salad with a thousand island dressing

A salad is one such dish which consists of small pieces of food mixed with a sauce. It may contain virtually any type of ready to eat food. What I like about salads is that we can be so creative with the ingredients which is based around a wide variety of foods like vegetables, fruits, cooked meat, eggs, nuts and leafy greens. Garden salads use a base of leafy greens like lettuce, arugula, kale or spinach; they are common enough that the word salad alone often refers specifically to garden salads.  Other types include Mexican bean salad, tuna salad, Lebanese fattoush, Greek salad, Thai Raw Papaya Salad and Japanese somen salad (a noodle-based salad). The sauce used to flavor a salad is commonly called a salad dressing; well-known types include Ranch, Thousand Island, Caesar and French vinaigrette. Salads can be served at any point during a meal such as an appetiser or side dish or as a main course.  Food historians tell us salads (generally defined as mixed green...

Christmas Fruit Cake—Because It’s Not Christmas Without It!

♪ It's the most wonderful time of the year ♪  When December arrives, that’s the melody that plays in my head. Christmas is perhaps the most widely celebrated holiday across the world, shaped by centuries of both religious devotion and secular customs. At its heart, Christmas commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ, observed on December 25th in most nations. Yet the festivities begin weeks earlier, filling homes and streets with vibrant lights, stars, and beautifully decorated Christmas trees. Many families also create a small manger scene to honor the nativity. The season is alive with carols sung in joy, kitchens bustling with homemade treats, and hearts open to generosity. Known as the “season of giving,” Christmas inspires people to exchange gifts with loved ones and extend kindness to those in need. On Christmas Day itself, traditions often include wearing new clothes, attending church services, lighting fireworks, and gathering for a grand feast with family. It is a tim...

Jaipur - Lost in the Pink City, Leaving Footprints Where Royalty Once Tread

We recently took a short vacation to Jaipur, and I still find myself mesmerized by its beauty. Often hailed as one of Rajasthan’s most enchanting destinations, Jaipur captivates with its charm and magnificence. Famously known as the Pink City , it owes its name to the striking pink sandstone buildings that line its streets, creating an atmosphere that feels both regal and welcoming. Jaipur is a city that overwhelms and enchants in equal measure. Its bustling streets pulse with energy—markets brimming with vibrant textiles and jewellery, majestic palaces and forts rising in grandeur, and a kaleidoscope of colourful people weaving through the chaos alongside cows, pigeons, and rickshaws. Every corner offers a sensory feast, with aromas of rich delicacies tempting your taste buds and leaving you utterly captivated. Jaipur means city of victory. The city is named after the king Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh II, who left the city of Amber and founded a new capital in the 18th century. When t...
