Chocolate Chip Cookies

A baking project revived. First, I would like to thank Ms. Thong for helping me buy some of the ingredients. Next, I do not know if this is good. The recipe is just for my record. So that I will not forget that I baked for the 4th time and counting.

Ingredients

• 120 g butter
• 140 g brown sugar
• 3/4 tsp vanilla essence
• 1 egg, lightly beaten

• 175 g plain flour
• 35 g cocoa powder
• 1 pinch of coffee powder
  
• 1 tsp sodium bicarbonate
• 3/4 tsp baking powder
• Chocolate chips (amount: up to you)

Method

1. Weigh butter and sugar and put them into an electric mixer. Add the vanilla essence and the beat eggs. Beat all until the mixture feels light and looks pale (beat from low power to high power).
2. While beating (will take forever), sieve the flour, cocoa powder, coffee powder, baking powder and sodium bicarbonate.
   
3. Stop the mixer when step 1 is complete. Start mixer from low power again and add the flour part in step 2 slowly by slowly. Do not change the mixer power, just make it low power until it forms a dough that doesn't stick to the mixing bowl (magic I tell you!).
4. Add the chocolate chips to the dough by hand.
5. Touch the dough, if you think it's too soft, refrigerate until it's not. Meanwhile preheat the oven at 180ºC. And wash up your tools!!
6. Place tracing paper on the baking trays. Roll one tablespoonfull of dough and place on the tracing paper. Give a 5 cm radius space around the rolled up doughs.
7. Press the dough down a little. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
8. When the cookies were out of the oven, I noticed they were still soft (oh my god). Place the cookies on wire racks to cool down. But after some time, I noticed it became hard, so must be some chemical reaction between the atmosphere and the cookie doughs.
   
9. Store them in airtight containers.
10. Make your loved ones eat them.

Flour, cocoa powder, coffee powder, sodium bicarbonate and baking powder. Add them to the mixer.

These pictures definitely do not look appetising. The dough should look like that after mixing with chocolate chips. Place the dough dollops onto the tracing papers well spaced out. Bake.

Cooling them on a wire rack.

Ready to be served.
