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.

Mui Choy is preserved mustard greens and there are two types, one is salty while the other is sweet.  There are many ways of cooking mui choy with pork belly.  Instead of braising, you can steam it with minced pork but here I am using only the sweet mui choy and I braised the pork belly with it.  This is a flavourful dish and you can serve it with plain rice or plain porridge.

Herbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Gao

H erbal Jelly ~ Gui Ling Ga o literally translated means 'Tortoise Jelly' is one of my family's favourite desserts.  It's much more economical to prepare this at home for you'll need to fork out between Rm 9 to Rm 11 for a bowl of this cooling dessert in any of those herbal tea outlets.  This soothing jelly, served chilled, is supposed to be able to help reduce our body heat, helps to get rid of toxins and is believed to be good for the skin thus culminating a healthier complexion.

Chinese Almond Tea ~ 杏仁茶

As the name implies, I've used  Chinese almonds to make this Chinese Almond Tea.  Chinese almonds are divided into two types, one is sweet  South almonds  (南杏)  and the other is bitter North (北杏) almonds.  The bitter almonds have a very distinctive scent which may be sweet smelling to some but ill-scented to others.  These almonds are not the same  kind of almonds that we use for baking, cooking and snacking.  They are in fact 'Apricot kernels' and are only available at the Chinese medicinal stores.  The bitter almonds  have a mild toxicity and cannot be eaten raw, only upon cooking or roasting can they be consumed.  These almonds help to relieve heatiness and soothes coughs.  The ratio to this recipe is 4 sweet almonds to 1 bitter almond.  Rice or glutinous rice was added to the recipe and I was thrilled to be rewarded with a silky smooth, sweet smelling creamy tea  and most important is that all my family ...
