CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Method:

Melt butter and add both sugars and cream these together. Beat in the eggs and vanilla then mix in the dry ingredients. Roll into medium-sized balls, making sure the mixture is not too wet! Put on a well-greased baking tray. They shouldn't spread too much so flatten slightly. Bake at 180° for 8-10 minutes.

Last week for HEC practical lesson we had to make chocolate chip cookies, it was a fun practical so as long as we follow the methods we were done with a great finishing product. Here's how we did it, we did the Mis en Place so we know we have all ingredients on the table and ready to start the next process.

Next, we were given butter so we melted it so we can make the dough soft and not too wet or too dry. We added flour, brown sugar, white sugar, salt and baking powder in one big bowl to work in. In a separate bowl, we added the wet ingredients which were an egg and vanilla essence.

We mixed it with a wooden spoon until it looked creamy, soft. The wet mixture was quite thick but was okay to work with so we added it to the dry ingredients. Forgot to mention that we had to preheat the oven to 180° for around 10 minutes and then adjust it to fanbake for about 7-8 minutes.

Once it was baked we took it out of the oven and the end product turned out very well, the colour was golden brown and the texture was soft on the inside and not too chewy itself. The sweetness was a bit too high for my taste since I don't like too much sweetness. Although the product was good but I would like to improve more and learn how to make them better.
