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.
