Motormouth took a bite off some Homemade Chocolate Cookies

August 21, 2008 | 642 views

When you’re feeling blue …. nothing beats munching on a piece, or two, or a whole plate of chocolate cookies for that matter. In the office, during working hours, no less.
Courtesy of a fellow blogger (thanks Min!!!), who bakes, cooks and blogs her experiments all this while, and yet this is the FIRST time we get to sample her creations. Hmm … Or rather, her modified intepretation of some random recipe.

But better than nothing, and quite timely if I may say so, as her cookies supplemented me on a barren, breakfast-less morning. An impulsive urge to reach for another bite, and then another, AND another somehow left the container half empty. Whoops. And we were supposed to sample them only, and share the cookies. But of course, sharing’s a foreign word to me, not in my dictionary. Muahaha …. ^o^
So, enough babbling. What’s the name for the cookies? They HAD to have a name. I insisted. But Min, being indecisive, and humble, let my imaginations run wild. Let’s call them ….
MINi Homemade Chocolate Cookies of Love & Affection. Or not. But here’s the recipe ;
130g butter (melted)
90g brown sugar
60g granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla essense
1 egg
180g self raising flour
120g bitter chocolate chunk
100g walnut chunk
50g raisin

1. Beat butter and sugar till light and creamy. Add in egg and beat until well-combined.
2. Add in vanilla essense, followed with sifted flour and mix well.
3. Fold in chocolate, walnut chunk and raisin.
4. Place tablespoonfuls of mixture onto a baking paper lined tray.
5. Bake in preheated oven at 180’C for 15 minutes.
6. Leave the cookies to cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the tray.

P/S : No, I’m not drunk. Nor did you stumble upon the wrong blog. This is the Motormouth, posting something entirely different, for the sake of it. Office’s freezing cold, (either it’s the rain, or the hauntingly chilly aura of the 7th Month in Chinese calendar?) and my grey matter’s frozen, at lost of what to do, or say, or whatever ….

    Criz Lai : She’s not taking orders yet, not even from me. 🙁 I’ve to practically begged on all fours for a bite. hehe …

    JENCOOKS : I myself wanted to tapau one, but sad to say, all walloped by other barbarians.

    Life for Beginners : no milk provided that day, but milk tea and white coffee in Old Town would do just fine. They’re merely steps away from my office anyway. 🙂

    Joe : you’re right though. Can’t imagine me blogging anything else. Maybe bout Lulu, my Golden Retriever. which in turn, LOVES food as much as I do.

    Nic : Baking? not for the life of me. But seriously, the weather is just getting colder and colder.

    jason : aiya … go makan something la, Cheras so full of yummies.

    PureGlutton : you’re welcome. but thank Min instead. I’m a taster only. hehe …

    Min : Oh dear Goddess of Bakery. muahaha … not an honor la. I hope you know what to do in the future.

    Lyrical One : Lemongrass cookies? eurgh … But they may be good as door stoppers. Or may impress my Lulu. Who’s Lulu? C profile pic. =P

    Once i baked a batch of choc chunk cookies and my hands couldn’t stop reaching for them! Currently there is a debate in the baker’s community whether resting the cookie dough for 36hrs prior to baking makes it tastier

    lol at durianberry’s comment… its true there is a debate going on abt chilling the cookie dough for 36hrs to enhance the taste.

    Elinluv : famous? where got? aiyo, if recipes also will post other ppl’s, not my own, definitely.

    24HrMom : My mum used to bake REAL good cookies during CNY, and sold them to close frens, relatives, and strangers. but not anymore, as she’s too committed to her work. sigh …

    durianberry : hmmm, this one I’ve no idea. why rest the dough eh? let the flavour sink in ah? hehe

    BSG : oh all of them. and then more.

    lingzie : let’s bake them, and preferably, gimme a try? =P

    CK Lam : someday someday … once i discover how to turn on the oven. muahaha …
