Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies ~ 巧克力核桃奇曲


Delight your family and friends with these easy chocolate chip cookies with butter and walnuts.  These cookies are fairly big, thick, crunchy and not very sweet as I've cut down on the amount of sugar.  These are always a hit amongst adults and children alike.




Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies ~  巧克力核桃奇曲
Ingredients
  • 170 gm unsalted butter
  • 90 gm dark brown sugar  ( I used Rapadura sugar)
  • 50 gm caster sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tsp  vanilla
  • 250 gm plain flour
  • 2 tsp cornflour
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 150 gm choc-chips
  • 30 gm walnuts, coarsely chopped
Method
  1. Sift plain flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt, mix in cornflour set aside.
  2. Using a handheld whisk, beat butter and sugar till smooth and creamy.
  3. Add in the egg, mix well.
  4. Lightly whisk in the flours, mix till well combined.
  5. On low speed, add in choc-chips and walnuts, or you can opt to mix in by hand with a spatula.
  6. Wrap dough in clingwrap, chill in the fridge for a few hours or up to 2 days.  I chilled mine, overnight.  (Chlling is a must as this cookie dough is soft).
  7. Sit dough at room temperature for 10 mins.  Roll dough about 1.1/2 Tbsp into balls.  (I used an ice cream scoop, about 2 Tbsp).
  8. Place dough onto a parchment lined baking tray, about 1.1/2 inch apart.
  9. Bake in a preheated oven @ 180 deg.C for 10 to 15 mins. till golden brown.
  10. Allow to cool in tray for 5 mins. before transferring onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
  11. Yield :  16 Big cookies

Char Siew Pau ~ 蒸叉烧包

I have been itching to try out a Pau recipe and vaguely remember that I did make it once, long, long ago.  So I  got hold of my old file of recipes and finally managed to retrieve it.  I did it recently and must say that I'm satisfied with the result.  The texture of the Pau was soft and a bit chewy, wholesome and filling too.  Naturally, they didn't look so nice and round like the ones sold in the dim sum restaurants, but nonetheless I think homemade ones can be just as delectable as well.

Since it is 'cooling' for our internal organs, the elderlies should take this in moderation and not recommended for nursing mums for the breast milk may cause the baby to purge.
