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.

Triple Chocolate mousse

They say that no matter how old you become, when you are with your siblings, you revert back to your childhood. Growing up with my kid brother was one of the best adventures of my life. We’ve laughed over the silliest of things, fought for the tv remote almost everyday, we played as a team in home video games of Contra and Mario, watched the same movies over and over again and enjoyed the food during our every trip to the Gulf. He was my first “Foodie Buddy”. Years have passed by, and now when we are living in different continents, amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life, we still connect over food in our conversations of what we used to eat in the past and what we relish today. Growing up, we didn’t have big celebrations during birthdays with cakes and parties…didn’t feel the need then…but today, we look forward to celebrate any occasion. So, whether we’re near or far, birthdays and anniversaries we celebrate for each other wherever geographically we are. While my kid brother ce...

Kannur - it's about the beaches, sunsets, malabar cuisine & more....

Kerala is my native land. I'm a Malayalee by birth..... but, I grew up in Bangalore. I've stayed all my life in Bangalore. Going to Kerala was either to meet my grandparents during school vacations or to attend some family functions and get togethers. But none of those times did I ever have a chance to actually sight see this state known as "God's own country". It was after we got married that Mr. Peter has taken me to different places in Kerala, like Munnar, Alappuzha, Kochi, Calicut and Kannur. All of these places are wonderful and each has its own distinctiveness. Kannur is located in the northern part of Kerala. Cannanore is the old English name for this city. Kannur is known as the Land of Looms And Lore, because of the loom industries functioning in the district and the ritualistic folk arts held in temples. Kannur is famous for three main things....its beautiful beaches, Theyyam - its native performing art, and its handloom industry. Mr. Pe...

Christmas Fruit Cake....and that's what makes it Christmas!!!!

♪ It's the most wonderful time of the year ♪  Come December, and that's the song that goes on in my mind.  Probably the most celebrated holiday in the world, our modern Christmas is a product of hundreds of years of both secular and religious traditions from around the globe.  Christmas is a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ. It is generally celebrated on December 25th by most of the nations. Christmas celebration starts almost a month before. It includes decorating the houses with colorful lights, stars, etc., decorating Christmas trees and making a small manger. People sing carols rejoicing in the birth of Jesus. They are also busy making goodies to share with friends. Christmas is also called the 'season of giving' and people love to exchange gifts with loved ones and give gifts to the poor. Finally the actual Christmas day is celebrated by wearing new clothes and going to church, bursting fireworks and having a great feast with family. ...
