I baked yesterday! And I think I shall start making this blog into a foodie blog. Hahaha. I had time to kill at my mum's house, and I wanted to give a surprise (which wasn't a surprise anymore since I couldn't buy ingredients discretely -_-") to Other Half cos he's been so tired lately and could do with some cookie-love :)
Found this chocolate chip cookie recipe from eatandbehappy. I wanted to try some other cookie recipes but they called for Dutch processed cocoa which I couldn't find at the shops I went and didn't want to go all the way to Sun Lik at Seah Street so I resorted to this simple recipe. First time trying Redman's chocolate chips. Tried the white and the dark chocolate coverture chips and they're awesome! Wayyy better than Hershey's. Doesn't taste like cheap chocolate at all, and it melts after baking! And they're huge too :)
Baked two batches, the second batch of cookies were more rounded. Could be because I whipped the batter longer. Also, I found that vanilla extract has 35% alcohol, and I wasn't sure if we can use that, so I used vanilla essence instead. Some people said you have to double the amount, but I think we have to use more than that. Haha. Anyway! Here's the recipe. Sadly I didn't count how many cookies it'll bake. Haha.
Ingredients
440g plain flour
250g salted butter, softened
1 cup icing sugar
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
2 eggs, at room temperature
3 tsp vanilla essence
Generous amount (about 300g?) of white chocolate and dark chocolate chips/chunks (the more the merrier!)
Cookie-love for Other Half :)

- Sift the flour, baking soda and powder together and set aside.
- Mix butter, sugar together to form a fluffy batter. Add the eggs one at a time and mix.
- Add flour, and fold chocolate chips in.
- Using two teaspoons, drop teaspoonfuls of the batter onto baking trays 2 inches apart. Bake the cookies at 170 degrees celsius for about 12 minutes till the cookies are crisp around the edges. They will puff up in the oven and flatten as they cool.
