I've seen many cookies recipes online and I decided to try out this particular one that's was more intriguing, it is my first time of doing cookies practical, so I decided to share the experience with us. Pardon my manners
A beautiful morning to us creative minds, hope to we are doing well and fine? Journey with me please 😊🤗
Let's start with # the ingredients list
All purpose flour 3 cups
Corn flour 3 Tbsp
Sugar ½cup of sugar
Butter 125g
2 Tsp vanilla extract
Chocolate chips (optional)
Peanut chunks (optional)
I made sure I make the documentary so much self explanatory
Creaming the butter to bring it to room temperature and also increase volume of the butter
Add the ½cup granulated sugar (u can blend the normal sugar in a blender after measuring the ½cup)
Mix till the sugar is complete incorporated into the butter (like this)
Add 2 large egg yokes(or the whole egg) into the mixture and whisk for a minute on medium speed
Till it incorporates well into the batter
Add flavour extract of choice, I added vanilla to mine then mix.
Seive both the plain flour and corn flour together before adding into the egg batter gradually in bits
Fold in the flour using a spoon or a spatula
Used my hand to mix it at a point
Once everything is incorporated, wrap in a film and placed in a fridge for future use or 30minutes for same day use
Wrap judiciously.
On bake day, I divided the dough into four equal halves.
I wanted to try the Chocolate chips cookie with the same recipe so I introduce chocolate into the 2 halves (just for the love of chocolate 🍫 🤗😍) of the dough
I then mix the chocolates in
Got this after mixing, then I started piping (though I used free hand here)
Pardon the shaping, my hands ain't equal 😁😄
Tried Crushed Peanut too (a little bit of everything right?)
I added peanut to just 1 half of the dough (thought I won't like the outcome buh was surprised it came out very nice)
This shape is a little perfect right?😄 I had to use a pie cutter for this😁. And for the last half of the dough I Made it plain cookies, because one of my siblings said he prefers it plain so I humour him cos why not🫠
Then in the oven (preheated at 120° for 15minutes)they went.
Was so excited I burnt the first batch (reduce heat to 80/90° after loading the oven, I learnt the hard way, lol)
The rest came out fresh and nice (crumbly also). At this point my neighbours knew I was baking something if you get what I mean, the aroma was nerve soothing 🫠😌
Sight the one I ate almost half of before taking the pictures yeah? No? Look closely 😊
I stored in an airtight container and put it on the shelf (it lastedess than a week FYI😁, it was that tempting 😄) couldn't get enough of it, I'm sure I'll make another batch soonest 😜
I hope we've learnt one or two from my post? And we won't mind to do a practical of our pen yeah? Good, my aim exactly
