working on this page!! please be patient with me

home blog etc etc

thank u

:)


Maybe not the most appealing site aesthetic for a food section, but, eh. If only I knew how to make dropboxes already, this would turn out much better, a little more elegant, even. Anyway, since I have no idea what else to put on this site - never mind this single page - have a cookie recipe for your time.


Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup or 110g softened butter
  • 1/3 cup white/granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 medium/large egg (either will work, Ive tried)
  • 1tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2tbs instant coffee, dissolved in ~1tbs hot water
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1tsp baking powder
  • 1/2tsp salt
  • ~75-100g chocolate of choice - chips, chopped, dark, white, whatever. I strongly recommend an even mix of dark and milk chocolate; the bitterness of the dark chocolate complements the sweetness of the other ingredients much better than you might think. Promise.

Mix together sugars and butter before adding the egg, vanilla, and coffee mixture. Once well combined, slowly incorporate dry ingredients, making sure the baking powder and salt are evenly mixed through the dough. Dough may be a bit sticky depending on the exact amount of egg and dissolved coffee was used, don't worry too much about that. Fold in chocolate chips before dividing into 10 roughly even discs/balls/lumps. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, then bake at 170C for 12 minutes. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before eating, ideally longer if you don't want the cookies to fall apart in your hands.
