How to make Choco Chips Cookie?

     

  Lazy morning. still eyes are half asleep, legs are automatically moving towards kitchen and making some coffee to kick-start the day. Though coffee alone makes more than sufficient to make us feel greater, many people will not have coffee ☕, if there is no biscuits/cookies 🍪 to go with it. Including myself 😛.

       Imagine the day, you with coffee and the world's best home made chocolate chip cookies. Each bite with cookie dipped in coffee, takes us to the pleasure of heavens and crafts our mind that there won't be a better a way to start a day like this.

           I was eating the store bought chocolate chip cookies for long time, before starting to bake my own. And I am so addicted to this home baked cookies taste. The next thing when you bake cookies at home, you can customize as per your taste. Less sugar, less butter, added nuts, egg-less etc. 

               There are many recipes available in books as well as in net. But I have created my recipe in the same fashion of how I do the cakes, so that it will be easy to remember as well to bake. I have mixed brown sugar with my white sugar to give best of both flavors. If you don't get brown sugar, replace the same amount with white sugar there wont be change in texture. 

                  This is just the basic recipe for any cookie, replace the chocolate chips with nuts, sugar balls, white chocolate etc. Don't worry if you burn your cookies. I bet that will also taste good when done.😊😊😊

Ingredients:

        1 cup           Chocolate chips    

½ cup          Brown sugar

¼ cup          Normal Sugar       

½ cup          Butter at Room temperature         

1 large         Egg             

1 cup           All-purpose flour, sifted at least 2 times

1 tsp            Vanilla extract

1/2 tsp         Baking soda

             Pinch of          Salt

Method:

• Take the cookie tray and grease it with butter or line with butter paper and keep it aside.

• When all the ingredients are measured and ready, preheat the oven with 160^oC and we can start with cookie batter.

• Cream butter with brown sugar and normal sugar.

• Lightly mix the egg, vanilla extract and salt in a bowl, and add this mixture little by little into your butter and sugar cream and combine together.

• Once the eggs are combined, add the chocolate chips and 1/4^th of the all-purpose flour with baking soda (while sifting the flour itself, add baking soda, so that the baking soda will evenly disperse in batter than accumulating in one part)

• Fold the mixture with wooden spoon until no flour is left unmixed. Add the next small quantity of flour and continue the folding.

• The consistency we are expecting is jam like. Neither too runny nor too doughy. Add little flour/milk to make the right consistency.

• We need equal size batter to be dropped in the tray to get even cooking time. I used two spoons to place even quantity cookie batter in greased tray.

• Give ample space between each drop, so that upon cooking it will expand without bumping on each other. You can use piping bag also.

• Place the tray in oven and bake for 12-15 mins in 160^oC. I used one table spoon size of batter. So adjust the cooking time depends upon the cookie size. Make sure you don’t burn them.

• You can check for the nice brown color on top when it’s done. Turn off the oven and leave the cookies in tray for 5 mins before removing the tray onto the wire rack to cool.

• Use a knife to remove the cookies from tray after they have cooled completely. Store it in air tight container and it can last up to 1 week without refrigeration.

• Start the day with this cookie and a coffee, make the day absolutely wonderful for you 😊😊😊😊😊😊will you ??

How to make simple Banana Bread ????

I was in this cake shop one day and wandering around to see something interesting to look and as well as to eat. Then I saw this black and white dots center with perfectly browned outer crust cake slice and pretty sure I wanna try it.  Initially I thought it will be a different version of Plum cake, which almost look alike except the center part, but I was completely taken back once I took a bite. 

It was BANANAAAAA.. !! then asked the shop owner and he said it was Banana Bread. that softness, and sweetness of banana and the texture of bread was making some magic inside my mouth. couldnt stop myself with a slice. 

Once I am back to home, I searched for this recipe, and to my wonder, it is the very simple recipe i have come across. It reminded me something, "The most extrodinary things in the world, are always Simple" I tried this recipe couple of times before and I made minute change from actual recipe. 

I have used wheat flour with my regular flour, I find it gives a good texture compared to only regular floor. But you can use your regular flour if you dont want lit dense texture. 

Also, I have used 2 disposable, 4 x 6 inchs aluminum tray instead of regular loaf tin. I dived my batter into two parts and baked it. saves my time comparitively. I can just wrap with my cling flim and off to guests. 

INGREDIENTS

         Ripe Bananas, Peeled            :  2-3  

          Egg                                          :  2

          Vanilla Extract                         :  1 tsp

          Melted Butter                           :  1/3 cup

          Baking Soda                            :  1 tsp

          Salt                                          :  1 pinch

          Sugar, Powdered                    :  1/2 cup

          All Purpose Flour/Maida         :  1 cup 

          Wheat flour                              :  1/2 cup

   

METHOD

• Preheat the oven to 150°C, and butter a 4x8-inch loaf pan in my case disposable aluminum trays.
• lightly beat the eggs with vanilla extract and salt. Beat just to incorporate the ingredients.
• Add the baking soda to you flour and sift it at-least one time. More than one time is your choice. sifting makes the flour remove lumps as well as traps air in it which helps in soft sponge.

• In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas(completely ripe so that it will give maximum sweetness) with a fork until completely smooth. Or you can give a spin in mixer grinder which ever is comfortable for you. 
• Stir the melted butter into the mashed bananas.

• Stir in the sugar, beaten egg and vanilla extract mix. Fold in the flour little at a time so that no lumps formed. Don't over fold the flour as it results in hard sponge.
• Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Bake for 30-40 minutes depends upon your oven or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If you are using tray size less than mentioned here, reduce the time accordingly. 
• Once testing done and you are happy with the result, just slightly open the oven door and keep it like that for 5-10 mins. use a wooden spoon for support the door. once the super hot air escaped, remove the pan from oven and cool it on wire rack.
• Don't try to remove the sponge when its hot. it always end up in sticking and breaking inside the pan. 
• Once completely cooled, slide a knife around the edge to loosen and invert the Banana bread carefully on to a plate.
• Cut with very sharp knife for clean cut slices.
• Great and simple food for quick and any special occasions. Everyone will love it. :)
