Chocolate Chip Cookies ~ 巧克力曲奇饼

 

These chocolate chip cookies made with melted butter are delightfully dense on the inside and crisp on the edges.  As melted butter is being used, the cookies have a softer inside.  No mixer is required to make these cookies and I only used a ball whisk throughout the whole process.  Can give this a try and add on to your CNY cookies list!

Chocolate Chip Cookies  ~  巧克力曲奇饼

Ingredients

  • 115 unsalted butter (melted)
  • 70 gm brown sugar
  • 30 gm caster sugar
  • 1 'L' egg
  • 210 gm plain flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • a pinch of salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
  • 150 gm chocolate chip
  • Extra chocolate chips to place on top of the cookies (optional)
Method
  1. Heat up the butter in the microwave until JUST melted, not bubbly.  Stir with a spoon till soft and smooth.  Let cool for about 5 mins.
  2. Sift the flour with the baking soda and salt.  Set aside.
  3. Pour the melted butter into a mixing bowl.  With a ball whisk, mix in the egg and sugars.  Mix till well incorporated.  Sift in the flour again, mix well.  Add in the chocolate chips and mix till just combined.  
  4. Wrap up the dough and chill in the fridge for a few hours or preferably overnight.  This is to prevent over spreading.  (I let it chilled overnight).
  5. Let the dough come to room temperature, scoop the dough with a tablespoon, roll by hand lightly and place it onto a parchment lined baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven @ 180 deg.C for about 10 to 11 mins. or till the edges turn slightly brown.
  7. Remove from the oven and put some extra chocolate chips on top while cookies are still warm.
  8. Yield :  28 cookies depending on size.

Mini lime marmalade chiffon cake

These little chiffon cupcakes were made with lime marmalade.  Other than orange marmalade I've never come across lime marmalade and so this went into my shopping basket when I was in Perth last.  It's slightly more sour than orange marmalade but it's delicious when you have it with butter or peanut butter slathered on a slice of freshly baked bread or toast!

Kai Chai Paeng aka Little chicken biscuit

K ai Chai Paeng or 'Little chicken biscuit' was one of my father's favourite item to take away whenever we stopped by Bidor, a small town south of Ipoh on the way to Kuala Lumpur, long ago before the North-South Highway came into existence.  Those days, Bidor's famous restaurant, Pun Chun ,was like a half-way house whereby travellers would stop by for their signature 'Ngap thui meen' or duck thigh noodles. Pun Chun restaurant is right in the middle of town along the main road and has been in operation for 70 years and their Kai Chai Paeng were of the thick, doughy type made with lard and some pork but now they also have the thin and crispy version. Another small town, known as Kampar which is nearer to Ipoh is also famous for their thin and crispy version of  Kai Chai Paeng.  However,  I'm not too sure which town is the originator of these 'chickenless', unique but absolutely aromatic 'Little chicken biscuit'.
