My Ultimate Chocolate Chips Cookies....step by step.


Yeah! these choc chip cookies are THE ultimate, THE best ever cookies full stop!. The most frustrating thing about us homemakers/bakers is that we are constantly experimenting on cookies, cakes.... and keeps experimenting till we GET that PERFECT recipe and guys THIS IS IT, the best ever chocolate chips cookies....it's oooey, gooey, in the center and crunchy munchy towards the side and mind you it is a big fat cookie....oh! writing about it is already making me grab my cookie jar.

I make this often, kids love them...no..they swear by them....and these cookies store well (compared to cakes) and not once I mean not even ONCE I was disappointed with this perfect crunchy chewy cookies.....all cookieholics...beware!! once you try this you will be addicted to it and make this again and again....so don't tell me I didn't warn you :)


I think the magic in this cookie recipe is that extra egg yolk....or may be the brown sugar....and ya, talking of brown sugar...this is something which is costly and difficult to get at this part of the world. So I always substitute it with jaggery; (I always melt jaggery and refrigerate it). To get 1 cup of brown sugar add 2 tbsp of jaggery...that's it, homemade brown sugar substitute is ready in your hand.....so guys don't let the brown sugar thing put you OFF from making this cookie....this is a NO EXCUSE cookie....so lets get started.

Recipe Source: Browned eyed baker , originally from baking illustrated.


Ingredients:
Flour: 2 cups plus 2 tbsp.
Baking soda: 1/2 tsp.
Salt: 1/2 tsp.
Unsalted butter: 1 1/2 sticks (12 tbsp), melted and cooled until warm (150 gms)
Brown sugar: 1 cup (see above for substitute)
Granulated sugar: 1/2 cup.
Egg: 1 large plus 1 egg yolk.
Vanilla: 2 tsp.
Semi sweet chocolate chips: 1 -1 1/2 cups.

How I made them:
Butter and line baking sheet with parchment paper and keep aside. ( I normally do not line with parchment paper when I bake these cookies, just grease with butter.)
Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt and keep aside. Omit the salt if using salted butter.
Melt butter and allow it to cool until warm.

Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar into it and mix using an electric beater until thoroughly blended. 


Beat in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla mixing until well incorporated. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients and beat until combined. Meanwhile preheat oven to 180 degree C.




Stir in the chocolate chips. 




Grease your hand with a little butter or oil and pinch of medium sized balls, lightly flatten them and place them on the lined baking tray. (leave 2 inch gaps between cookies as they will spread out during baking). 


Bake for about 18 to 20 min or until cookies are light golden brown and the outer edges start to harden yet the centers are still soft and puffy, rotating the baking sheets front to back and top to bottom halfway through the baking time. Cool the cookies on the sheets. Remove the cooled cookies from the baking sheets with a  metal spatula.


Store in air tight container or cookie jars.


I would recommend adding chocolate chunks instead of chocolate chips for that extra ooey chocolatey yumminess....If you like crunchy crispy cookies (not ooey gooey ones) just bake them a little longer.


Enjoy with a glass of milk

    1. Hi Anna, I have been making this cookies for long and never had any issue with it, but I like to help you make this come perfect....If the batter is only slightly loose, just add in 2 tbsp of flour and see... batter is not very thick dough...its slightly loose, meaning it will stick to your hands....another option you can do is maybe you can reduce the quantity of eggs, like whisk 1 egg and 1 yolk together and add in only half the quantity and incase the batter is very thick...you can add in a bit to thin out....hope this helps you, Anna! These cookies are amazing :) Also, I hope you used 150 gms of butter only = 1 stick is 100 gms...hope this helps you!

Pidiyum Kozhiyum Recipe - How To Make Kerala Style Kozhi Pidi - Kerala Recipes

Pidiyum kozhiyum or kottayam style pidi is a traditional knanaya cuisine ; these rice dumpling have a thick gravy like sauce, unlike the dry versions of Malabar kakka roti or kozhi pidi. Knanaya style pidi is served with varutharacha kozhi curry. Traditionally, pidi is associated with baby shower ie when the daughter-in-law is sent to her parents house for delivery, it is customary for the mother-in-law to make kozhi pidi and we knanaya people still follow these traditions. My main aim is to preserve this recipe; so that the future generations can enjoy this wholesome dish. Pidi is rice dumplings which is simmered in water along with shallots, garlic, curry leaves, and coriander seeds; but I have used coriander powder instead to make the whole process easy. Amma mentioned that if using coriander seeds then; the water used to mix the rice flour should be sieved and that using fresh roasted coriander powder saves time. I have made a video recipe and I hope this you help
