Brownie Cookies!!

It has been a while till this post come out. I have been busy and lazy at the same time, lol. But, believe me this post is worth waiting! I can only say it's splendid!! For those who re like me, the chocolate addict! It's crisp, it's fudgy, it's rich in flavor. The most favorite chocolate recipe for me  at the moment! Haha, I think that some of you might get mouth watering already! Try this recipe and comment "Is it worth the rave!?" 




Tools you will need:

1 large mixing bowl
1 small mixing bowl
1 medium size stainless bowl 
a medium size pot + stove
(or you can just use microwave, it's pretty much the same as I tried)
silicone spatula
electric mixer 
oven mitt
And yes! the oven :)

Ingredients:

450 grams Chocolate (As u prefer, I use very dark chocolate here)
60 grams Unsalted Butter
1/2 cup Cake flour (Use all purpose flour if you have it on hand, just sift it a few time before measure) 
1 tsp Baking powder
1/4 tsp Salt
1 3/4 Granulated white sugar
4 Large eggs at room temperature
1 tbs Vanilla extract
This part of ingredient is up to personal preference, you can use any of your favorite. "Be creative!"
Here re mine:
Marshmallow 
White chocolate chip 
Dark chocolate chip
Cashew Nut (Walnut might be better but it's hard to find here in Bangkok)
I think it should be quite good to put the coconut flake as well, but I did not coz i'm not a really big fan of it. All those combination should not be over than 3 cups 



The finished dough. Ready to bake!

    

Okie! Are you ready? Let's get started!

- I will separate the method into 4 main parts for your ease to manage things
1. Prepare your topping. Roast the nut, chop it as u like. 
2. Mix the flour, baking powder, salt in a bowl ,and set aside.
3. Put water into a pot, bring it to boil on a stove. In stainless bowl, put in chocolate and butter. Put the bowl of chocolate and butter on the pot with boiling water. Let it melt and combine, lastly stir with spatula.
4. In the mean time, beat eggs and sugar in large mixing bowl until it turns pale yellow cream which should drip down slowly as you lift the mixer up. Pour in vanilla extract and blend it. 
- Now that you have 4 parts of ingredient ready, Beat the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, fold in the flour mixture (be careful not to deflate the batter much), stir in the topping you prepared. 
- The batter would look a bit runny, chill it in the fridge for 30-60 mins. 
- Preheat the oven to 350F or 177C
- Put Parchment paper on oven tray, scoop the dough on, press the top and mold it to the shape, don't forget to allow the 2" space for the cookies to expand. 
- Bake it for 8-10 mins, Never over bake it!
- Put the tray on rack, let it cool and set. And ENJOY!!!
- It tastes best when it freshly set after bake, crispy on the outside and fudgy on the inside. But if you like to keep it, please make sure it's in an airtight container, and if you have some coffee bean, put them in your cookies container.  








Until the next post ;)
