I've seen many cookies recipes online and I decided to try out this particular one that's was more intriguing, it is my first time of doing cookies practical, so I decided to share the experience with us. Pardon my manners
A beautiful morning to us creative minds, hope to we are doing well and fine? Journey with me please 馃槉馃
Let's start with # the ingredients list
All purpose flour 3 cups
Corn flour 3 Tbsp
Sugar 陆cup of sugar
Butter 125g
2 Tsp vanilla extract
Chocolate chips (optional)
Peanut chunks (optional)
I made sure I make the documentary so much self explanatory
Creaming the butter to bring it to room temperature and also increase volume of the butter
Add the 陆cup granulated sugar (u can blend the normal sugar in a blender after measuring the 陆cup)
Mix till the sugar is complete incorporated into the butter (like this)
Add 2 large egg yokes(or the whole egg) into the mixture and whisk for a minute on medium speed
Till it incorporates well into the batter
Add flavour extract of choice, I added vanilla to mine then mix.
Seive both the plain flour and corn flour together before adding into the egg batter gradually in bits
Fold in the flour using a spoon or a spatula
Used my hand to mix it at a point
Once everything is incorporated, wrap in a film and placed in a fridge for future use or 30minutes for same day use
Wrap judiciously.
On bake day, I divided the dough into four equal halves.
I wanted to try the Chocolate chips cookie with the same recipe so I introduce chocolate into the 2 halves (just for the love of chocolate 馃崼 馃馃槏) of the dough
I then mix the chocolates in
Got this after mixing, then I started piping (though I used free hand here)
Pardon the shaping, my hands ain't equal 馃榿馃槃
Tried Crushed Peanut too (a little bit of everything right?)
I added peanut to just 1 half of the dough (thought I won't like the outcome buh was surprised it came out very nice)
This shape is a little perfect right?馃槃 I had to use a pie cutter for this馃榿. And for the last half of the dough I Made it plain cookies, because one of my siblings said he prefers it plain so I humour him cos why not馃珷
Then in the oven (preheated at 120掳 for 15minutes)they went.
Was so excited I burnt the first batch (reduce heat to 80/90掳 after loading the oven, I learnt the hard way, lol)
The rest came out fresh and nice (crumbly also). At this point my neighbours knew I was baking something if you get what I mean, the aroma was nerve soothing 馃珷馃槍
Sight the one I ate almost half of before taking the pictures yeah? No? Look closely 馃槉
I stored in an airtight container and put it on the shelf (it lastedess than a week FYI馃榿, it was that tempting 馃槃) couldn't get enough of it, I'm sure I'll make another batch soonest 馃槣
I hope we've learnt one or two from my post? And we won't mind to do a practical of our pen yeah? Good, my aim exactly
