After two attempts at making chocolate chip butter cookies using premix in which the 2nd was a success, I have decided to take the plunge in baking cookies WITHOUT relying on premix. This recipe was adapted from Allrecipes.com. I didn't managed to take pictures of the ingredients and the process as it was a spur of the moment thing to bake it since my brother in law and his friend came by to have dinner at our house and I thought it'd be nice to have new guinea pigs to test on to bake them these cookies. So without further ado, here goes:
SHORTBREAD CHOCHOLATE CHIP BUTTER COOKIES
PREPARATION TIME: LESS THAN HALF AN HOUR
* About 5 minutes to mix & prepare the dough
* 17 minutes for baking process
Ingredients / Tool Required:
* 220 g all-purpose flour (I used wheat flour)
* 2 g baking powder
* 2 g salt
* 225 g unsalted butter (melted and I used salted butter instead)
* 100 g white sugar
* 125 g semisweet chocolate chips
* A bowl to mix ingredients in
* Kitchen scale
* Metal cup to store melted butter
* Spatula
* Baking sheet & paper
What to Do?
* Preheat oven to 150℃.
* Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt, set aside.
* In a medium bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until fluffy.
* Gradually stir in the dry ingredients, then stir in the chocolate chips.
* Roll the dough into small balls and place on the baking sheets/tray, spaced slightly apart.
* Flatten each balls slightly.
BAKING PROCESS
* Set oven to 150℃ and bake for 15-20 minutes until light golden brown.
* Remove from sheets to cool on racks.
