Chocolate Chip Cookies (Mak's Recipe)

It's that raya baking time again! :) Yesterday I made another batch of Nutella tarts (made 1 batch for personal consumption a week ago) partly for my sister and part for me, and chocolate chip cookies. This time round I used my mum's chocolate chip recipe instead of the so called "Almost Famous Amos Chocolate Chip Cookies", and I think this tastes more like Famous Amos! And this yields way more too, for 1 block of butter. Less sinful too perhaps? HAHA.

There are no pictures, probably I'll update later and include pictures.

Nutella Tart

1 tin butter
3 eggs + 1 egg yolk
3 tbsp susu manis
2 tbsp ghee
1 1/2 tsp salt
700 - 800g flour (I never measure)

Bake tarts at 180 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes, take them out to cool. Once cooled, pipe Nutella. Bake them again at 160 degrees Celsius for 5 or 6 minutes to harden the Nutella a little bit.

Mak's Chocolate Chip Cookie

I made some adjustments, the flour is supposed to be 5 cups, but I reduced to 4 and added in 1/2 cup ground almonds instead. Plus, the next time I make this, I can probably reduce the sugar.

250g butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
4 cups flour
1/2 cup ground almonds
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 cups chocolate chips (I used almost a whole bag of Hershey's)
250g chopped walnuts

Drop teaspoonful of batter, shape them a bit. Leave abt 1 inch space between cookies. Bake at 170 degrees Celsius for 12 to 14 minutes. Cookies will turn out slightly chewy on the inside. But totally yummy! And sweet.

Daiso Ramekins

Finally finally went to Daiso!! Wanted to go there for ages already! The first thing I came in, went to the cooking section. Found my ramekins! But they're not white. Oh wells. Can't be choosy for $2 ramekins! There were white ones, but super small white ramekins. And pie tarts too! Oooh so tempting! But I don't know when I'll make tarts hurhur. Actually I'm still thinking what I should bake using these ramekins. I remember having one of those "I wish I had ramekins right now" moments but I can't remember when. Maybe when I was making lava cake . Daiso is evil. It's so cheap you just feel like coming back again! Oh and did I mention there's a $2 weighing scale?! Measures up to a kilo but that's quite alright for baking isn't it! I mean, $2!! Dirt cheap lah. Not sure about the accuracy though. Didn't do much cleaning last weekend, very much spent lazing around at home just like what weekends should be like. I love being at ho...

Apam Balik

I love apam balik. The soft one, with lots of corn. So when @khairulaming posted this on his instagram, I bookmarked it. The recipe is not too much until you get sick of eating apam balik, but I do feel it needs some tweaks to get the pancake king version. But not bad for a first try. 2 cups flour 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 2 tbsp melted butter 1 1/4 cups water 1 egg Additional butter for the pan I do feel it needs some salt, more sugar and I shouldn't have liberally made it so thick HAHA. The pan is important too, I kinda burnt some parts of the pancake. Got them bubbles!! This recipe made 2 large pancakes. Also, the filling needs to be sprinkled with sugar liberally (read: 3 tbsp or so), my first try wasn't enough. Pancake was soft even for the next few days after that (kept in the fridge then reheated in the microwave). Husband found it to be acceptable, but I was kinda not okay with it but ohwells. I can tweak it ...

Junior's Development

Nothing on food today. I wanna talk about Junior. He's growing so fast. In a few weeks' time, he'll turn 18 months. He's grown so much, so tall. Junior pretty much understands most of the things we say to him cos he knows when to shake his head if he doesn't want something. But he hasn't learnt to talk yet. I am kinda worried about that, but then Husband didn't talk till after two and that didn't stop him from being a debater. I'm trying to console myself by saying maybe he's a little late, that's all. Not like he has some deficiency or something. Junior keeps changing his preferences. Like now he likes panda bears (he loved Kungfu Panda on okto yesterday!), he doesn't want to solat but he aminkan doa . Things that aren't seasonal are his love for fruits, climbing, biting me (yes, it's been going on for the longest time), and the most sweetest thing, helping out with housework. He will pull the laundry basket out of our room a...
