...is to make kick-ass chocolate chip cookies! :) I don't care if it's crunchy, thick, thin or chewy... You've just gotta know. It's like the 101 of a super-duper baker. Anyways, been reading up on some of the must-know to baking delicious chewy chocolate chip cookies. Some very important tips include:
1) Using fresh brown sugar. I think brown sugar plays a huge role in making the cookies chewy. Try to avoid using brown sugar that looks and feels like white granulated sugar. Go for those that is soft and moist. I tried mine with organic, brown muscovado sugar.
2) Baking time - do not overbake. Don't be worried for the cookie to be slightly underbake, as long as you don't have the flour taste to it, it's all good! :) Plus, if it's really that underbake, just put it back into the oven for a minute or so. I did mine by baking it for 10minutes, and leaving it to cool on the tray itself. (There's actually a baking term for this, I've read it in one of the recipe books...but I can't remember :P)
Anyways, made these recently and gave them away. It put smiles on frowny faces! :P
Chewy Choc Chip all nicely packed :)
One final shot for all the cookie monsters out there :D
These are really good when eaten warm. When feeling greedy, just pop these into the microwave for about 30 seconds (because it's quite thin, you can increase the reheat time for thicker cookies) and dollop a huge scoop of vanilla ice cream. :9
Great dessert to end a hard day's work, or.. it could also be a great way to start your mornings! :P
