The Cookies' Story

Especially for Crutz aka Rudy :p

Today Yos and I were making chocolate chip cookies after planning it for sooo long.
Finallyyy got to bake something! :D

Here's the recipe of the cookies we made, plus the photos!

The chewy recipe:
2 sticks unsalted butter
2 1/4 cups bread flour

1 teaspoon
kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup sugar
1
cup brown sugar
1 egg
1
egg yolk
2 tablespoons milk

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 cups semisweet
chocolate chips

Oven to 375 f .
Melt butter on low heat.
Sift flour, salt, baking soda.
Cream butter and sugar on medium speed
.
Add egg and yolk and milk and vanilla.
Mix
Slowly incorporate the flour mixture until throughly combined.
Stir in chocolate chips.

After measuring everything by myself, I came to a conclusion that cookies really are scary -_-a. They'll make you munch and munch even more without realizing you've just gulped down 800++ calories of nothing but plain sugar and fat!! >_<"
We calculated about 1800 calories for the recipe above, which made about 48 cookies (4 batches of 12 each). Divided by this and that, it came down to about 36 calories per cookie.

Imagine if we eat 10 cookies a day, that will give us 360 extra calories. And to burn that extra calories with any other calories to lose weight, we need at least an hour of hard core cardio exercise. Not worthy -_-a.

Anyway, those are good, and I'm giving them away to my friends anyway XD.
Sharing the sugar overload muahahahaha :p.

Picture's time!

Doing the prep. And yea, camwhoring while measuring for the ingredients.

Making the dough, yayy! :D

The dough :)

Yos was baking the 1st batch while I was secretly eating the dough lol.

The burnt 1st batch. Actually it made the perfect combination for me: chewy and crunchy altogether! :D yummehhhh~

The final results are posted on the beginning of this post. After the burnt 1st batch which caused my entire kitchen and hallway covered in smoke, we finally baked nice and perfect cookies.
Too bad it's not dark chocolate, but oh well..For first timer the taste is not bad at all! :D
That's all for now folks!
Until later and God is IN you! ^^
