{Ultimate Chocolate Chips Cookies}

Yes, today is my first post on this blog. I used to have another food and craft blog HERE. But for some reason I couldn't maintain it for a while. So I decide to open another blog just for the sake of blogging about things we do here with my family. Other fun stuff about my photography hobby and crafts... If you like to take a peek at my professional photography blog please visit HERE.

I am writing about how much chocolate is so popular in my family. You see I can't be slim as I would like and a chocolate eater too. But cross my finger tho I am trying to minimize the need of eating chocolate LOL. But hey this weekend I was spoiling my hubby and son! They have been nagging me to make their favorite chocolate chip cookies. Then here you go... They are fluffy, chunky and so soft. I got the recipe from CHATELAINE magazine.


The Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies:

Ingredient:
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 tsb baking soda
1/2 tsb salt
1 cup unsalted butter
1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 tsb vanila
2 cups dark chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips.

In a medium bowl. Use a fork to stir flour with baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, using a wooden spoon or an electric mixer, beat butter with sugar until creamy about 1 minute.
Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually stir flour mixture into butter mixture until just combined.
Mix in chocolate.

(I store the dough in the fridge for 2 hours before baking)

Scoop about 1 tbsp of dough and place on prepared sheet. repeat with remaining dough. Bake in the oven to 350F for 8-10 minutes.

And whoalaa... there you will have chunky, fluffy soft chocolate chips cookies.





In between baking chocolate chip cookies I managed to do some knitting. I got the yarn from Cultured Purl yarn store. Fell in love with this yarn, so soft and fine. It is just prefect for my project for newborn photography props.  I will give an update when it is done.
