2011 CNY cookies 1 - Indulgence Chocolate cookies

This is one of the best chocolate cookies we have ever make. The main contributer of this recipe is the cooking chocolate. Usually we use cocoa powder instead of chocolate while making the cookies or cake. However, after trying this recipe, you will found the difference between the two.

Butter 110g

Cooking Chocolate 175g (original recipe used 60% dark Choc)

Brown sugar 75g (Original Recipe used black sugar)

Baking Powder 1/2 tsp

Method:

1. Beat soften butter with 2 sugar until fluffy.

2. Add in egg separately. Stir well.

3. Shift in flour and bp. Mix well.

4. Add in chopped choc. Mix well.

5. roll into 10g balls. Press lightly until flat.

6. Bake in 165 degree for 10-12 mins

Comment:

1. The cookies smells like Famous Amos cookies.

2. I like the smell more than the taste. I think we can increase the portion of the chocolate next time.

Serving suggestion:

This is how my mummy eat. Curious about the taste? It's just taste like ice-cream and potato biscuits. Haha!! Not bad and not really good, but worth a try.

Notes:

1.The appearance of the biscuits seen on the source is quite pale with a touch of light yellow. Apparently, we had over-baked the biscuits as it turn into golden colour. As a result the biscuits is too hard.

2.The biscuits is soft while hot, so don't think that it is uncooked and keep on baking.
