We are about halfway through the Islamic month of Ramadan, which is the holiest period on the Islamic calendar.I love Ramadhan and the feeling of closeness it brings. Closeness to Allah, closeness to the family and closeness to the people around us Muslims and Non- Muslims included.I'm a little bit sad as of how fast this month goes by but at the same time i'm quite excited as Eid-ul-fitri is just around the corner. That being said... i am excited to share with you guys my recipe that i adapted from Tanya Burr's website.
So here is my take on My Chocolate Cookies:
Ingredients bellow are to make around 25 rather medium size cookies. So,you will need..
200g butter (room temperature)
200g caster sugar
1 large egg
275g self-raising flour
75g cocoa powder
a little dash of milk
a large bar of milk chocolate (Fruit&Nut types)
a large bar of white chocolate ( i didn't use any)
Methods:
1. Heat your oven around 180C. If you use mini oven, 170C should be enough.
2. Mix butter and sugar with a mixer until they are smooth.
3. Put in your egg into the mixture and mix well.
4. Stir the dry ingredients (Green colour) together and pour into the wet ingredients (Red colour).
5. Use your hand to mix both of the mixture together. Add in a little milk if the mixture is too dry.
6. Break up your chocolate bar (Purple colour) and mix the together in the mixture.
7. Make a small ball out of the mixture and lay them on a parchment paper.
8. Pop in the oven (mini oven please use the lowest rack) strictly for 10 minutes and not more!Let them cool on a cookie rack.
There you have it! The texture is amazing! It is almost like eating a cookie and a brownie at the same time. Crunchy on the outside and soft inside. You got the best of both world, i would say! If you love dark chocolate, definitely go out of your way to add more dark chocolate bar into the mixture. And if you like sweets, i would recommend to add more on the sugar part (50g-100g more). But this recipe is perfect for my taste as those chocolate bars are already as sweet as they can be :)
Lots of love,
Juitanis
