At one point, I was the following the "how to cook perfect..........." series on the guardian and found how to cook perfect chocolate chip cookies. It took me a while but finally got a chance to make them. Here is the link in the guardian that describes different aspects in great detail. Cookies are stress free baking for me both in terms of time and preparation.
The perfect chocolate chip cookie was easy recipe to follow and thanks to the weighting scale it is easy to measure as well.
Ingredients:
120 gm unsalted butter (original recipes calls for salted butter but i didn't have salted butter )
75 gm light brown sugar
75 gm granulated sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
240 gm all purpose flour
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
170 gm dark chocolate, chopped
sea salt flakes
1. Using a stand mixer, beat butter and sugar until well combined on a medium speed. Add egg and vanilla extract and beat well.
2. Sift together flour and bicarbonate of soda and slowly fold in to the above mixture until everything comes together. Use a lower speed on the stand mixer. Fold in the chocolate pieces with spatula and bring everything together.
3. Wrap the dough in a plastic sheet and keep it inside the freezer for 1/2 hour or keep it refrigerated overnight.
4. Preheat oven to 350 C.
5. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Make about 14 golf size balls using the dough and keep them at a distance on the baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes until golden. Make sure they are not brown.
6. Sprinkle one tray with salt and allow them to cool for couple of minutes on the sheet and then move them to cooking racks.
Enjoy the cookies.
