Chocolate Chips cookie

Thanks to Baking Library for her contribution to this cookies. The cookie texture is definitely great but I find that the recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. So next time round will reduce the sugar in the recipe. Was quite easy to whip up the whole things and bake it.. Below is the recipe for this nice cookies but do reduce the sugar if you r not a sweet lover.

Chocolate Chip Cookies (Recipe kindly shared by Hugbear from Bakingmum)

125g butter softened at room temperature

75g caster sugar

60ml brown sugar

1 egg

1/8 teaspoon or 7 drops of vanilla essence

150g plain flour

45g cornflour

1/2 tsp bicarbonanate of soda (baking soda)

pinch of salt (omit if using salted butter)

60g chopped nuts

125g chocolate chips (use more if desired)

Method:

1) Cream butter with both sugars till light, pale and fluffy. Beat egg with vanilla and add to butter mixture. Mix well.

2) Sift plain flour, cornflour, baking soda and salt together and add to the mixture in 1). Mix until a soft dough is obtained. Do not overmix.

3) Stir in chopped nuts and chocolate chips.

4) Drop levelled teaspoons of cookies onto baking tray lined with baking paper.

5) Bake at 180 degrees C for 18-20mins. Transfer to wire rack to cool.

Things to note:1) If nuts are ommitted, chill shaped dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent dough from spreading too much and ending up with flat shaped cookies.

2) Chilling and addition of nuts prevent cookies from excessive spreading.

3) If dough is too sticky to handle, chill dough for 40minutes before shaping. The dough should harden and become less sticky.
