Its COOKIES time!
The most basic thing to bake (for a beginner) is cookies. It is so simple yet so delicious for snacks and it can be done in less than an hour! How convenient is that?
This is the TikTok video recipe that I followed: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZSJ3fwYUB/
Let’s get BAKING!!
The Recipe:
250g Butter 300g Brown Sugar 1 Egg 1 tsp Vanilla Essence 315g Plain Flour 65g Corn Starch 5g Soda Bicarbonate Chocolate Chips
First of all, mix both butter and brown sugar together and then whisk it until it is combined, but don’t over whisk it! Secondly, put in your egg (without the shell, obviously) and then your vanilla essence. Whisk it together and then after that, put in your flour, corn starch and soda bicarbonate together and mix it but don’t forget to sift it! We don’t want any lumps in our cookies. Finally, the goodies, mix in your chocolate chips. You can add however the amount you want. Get crazy!
When the dough are all mixed, we need to refrigerate it for 30 min before baking them (formed in small balls) for 10 -15min at 150°C
Note: I used cups measurement for the grams because my scale was broken and I don’t have any back up.
After waiting for 15 min, I took out the cookies excitedly BUT!
I burned them AAAAAAA!!
So I was just analyzing what I did so wrong and then realized that my oven’s temperature was 250°C and I just face-palmed myself for getting a dumb mistake. I adjust it to the 150°C and tried another batch.
But as I wait for the second batch to bake, I tried the ‘burned’ cookies and it was actually pretty good.
The outside was crunchy but inside was a very soft texture and it was so good!
After finishing the ‘burned’ cookies, I went to check my second batch and it come out so good! I even forgot to take a picture of it.
But the taste was...
It was not too sweet and not that bland. If you want it to be more sweeter, I suggest to add some more brown sugar to the batter (or it is just my error for using cups instead of grams just like the recipe stated)
The baking size was okay, but I would recommend to bake it in more bite size to get all the crunchiness inside and fun size to eat.
Overall, I would rate :-
Difficulty: 2/10 (curse me for not having a scale machine) Taste: 7.4/10 Value: 3/10 (You can find most ingredients already in your pantry)
Overall thought, it was worth it. I now have snacks to munch and it was delicious, until I forgot to take a picture of the end product! NOOO!
But I assure you that the end product was worth it.
If you tried this simple cookie recipe, let me know your thoughts too and happy baking!
