chocolate chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies
cookies & milk. brings back fond childhood memories ^^
this chocolate chocolate chip cookie was the first ever thing i attempted baking on my own after beings mummy's helper for awhile.
this cookie is very very simple to make.
i used to help mummy make this for any parties at school (where we had pot lucks for childrens day etc) and also for chinese new year. and i remember twe could only eat the cookies TWO days after baking cos it was still "heaty" and i'm so ever prone to sore throats! >.<
the recipe is so simple, i even have it at the back of my mind
(why oh why doesn't this seem to work for me when I'm trying to memorize glomerular diseases)
ingredients
4 ounce butter (at room temperature)
3 ounce Castor sugar
1 egg yolk
6 ounce all purpose flour + 1/8 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 tablespoon cocoa powder
2 1/2 ounce chocolate chips (or more..heheheh)
nuts (optional). i choose to put yummy macadamia nuts this time =)
mix the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (can do it manually or using the electric mixer)
add the egg yolk and beat till well mixed
sift the flour, baking soda and cocoa powder into the butter mixture.
add chocolate chips and nuts.
mix well.
take a thumb size ball of dough, roll it and slightly flatten it.
place it on a greased cookie tray.
bake it a preheated oven at 180 degree Celsius for 15-20 minutes

Out of curiosity, why just egg yolk, instead of whole egg? How does that affect the texture? Also dying to try yr Ghee Almond Cookie recipe. Looks very very promising. Thanks for sharing
