My first blog post and the making of Chocolate Chip Cookies

It's my first Blog post. Thanks to my dearest friend ohbubububsi for inspiring me.
Well lemme introduce myself a bit, I'm a food obsessor (Big eater, lol) that is why I love to cook and bake and try new things. I'm also a beauty addict and a dog lover! I have been a follower, a subscriber reading watching and studying others for quite sometime, and now that I feel like writing my own blog to share my interest and knowledge and experience and things I like.

Okay! Let's get start! On my passed weekend I got a request from my sister-in-law for a cookies baking time. As we don't have much time and a little bit lazy from a busy week, we decided to do a basic fast and yum soft baked chocolate chip cookies :) But I'm a chocolate lover, so I add extra treat, dark chocolate chunk, on top!






Here are List of tools you will need,
1. Electric Hand Mixer (You can use hand whisk if you got strong arm)
2. Small whisk or fork
3. Small and medium mixing Bowl
4. Small ice cream scooper or a spoon
5. Kitchen mitt
6. Of course an Oven!

Now let's shop for the ingredients. (24 cookies)
1 cup Unsalted Butter *must be at room temperature 
2/4 cup Granulated Sugar 
2/4 cup Light Brown Sugar 
*I don't like it very sweet, you can add more if you prefer. And also you can adjust it according to the chocolate chip and bar you use. If your chocolate is very sweet already, you won't need very sweet dough. Does it make sense? ;)
2 Large Eggs *must be at room temperature
1 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract
3/4 tsp Salt
1 tsp Baking Soda
2 1/4 cup Flour
1/8 tsp Ground Cinnamon (optional) I like a little scent of it when combine with chocolate n vanilla 
2 cups Chocolate chip
Chocolate bar, cut it in small piece as you like



And yeah we are ready!
1. Preheat the Oven to 375f or 190c
2. Mix the flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon together in small bowl using a small whisk
3. In a medium mixing bowl ( you can use the large bowl ;)) cream up the butter and sugar. Add in the egg one at time and beat until combine and the mixture look nice and creamy. Pour in Vanilla Extract and mix well.
4. Put the flour mixture into the butter mixture. Mix them together just until you don't see any flour left aside. Never over mix the batter  as it can result in a hard baked cookies instead which we don't want that.
5. Put in the chocolate chip. Beat until gradually combine. If you do this on a warm day, chill the dough in the fridge for 15 mins. If the dough is too soft the cookies will spread out too much and come out not as good. 
6. Spread the parchment paper on the tray. Use the small ice cream scooper to scoop out the dough and align them on the paper with 2 inches space between each scoop to allow the spread. 
7. Put piece of chocolate bar on top of each scoop of dough, press a bit. Put the tray in the oven for abt 8-12 mins. Keep looking since 8 mins, if you see it starts to turn golden brown then it's ready!
8. Let them cool completely and ENJOY!!
