This is so far the best, I repeat, the BEST chocolate chips cookies I ever bake! These are the real deal, I highly recommend you to give these a try.
The strange combination of cake flour and bread flour is extraordinary. The dough must be refrigerated for a minimum of 24 hours (I prepare the dough 2days ago - 15 July 2011). They are perfectly soft while still being just firm enough to stay together. You can bake a longer time if you prefer a crunchy cookie.
It's 12.30am and here I am baking Chocolate Chip Cookie Bar! Well, since my hubby is staying up late to fix his iPad, rather than keeping awake doing nothing, I decided to make this for breakfast.
I have a big packet of rolled oats sitting in my kitchen for months that I nearly forgetten about it. Phew, lucky the expire date is in Oct 2011.
I come across this Oatmeal raisin cookies recipe from a tweeter post. And according to the blogger, she mention that "These cookies are so good, I have been having trouble blogging them. Because every time I sit down and look at this recipe, I'm off to the kitchen again, baking a new batch instead of writing." And WOW, since I have all the ingredients needed, I decided to give it a try. Daring enough, I double the ingredients even without trying the recipe first! I'm going to kill myself if the taste is not a liking to my family. LOLz.
More tips
1. For chocolate flavour, substitute 1 tbsp cocoa powder for the same quanity of flour.
2. For a chunkier texture, use coarsely chopped chocolate instead of chocolate chips.
3. For mocha flavour, use coffee essence instead of vanilla essence.
4. For nutty flavour, add whole or chopped macadamia nut, walnut or hazelnut.
5. For fruity flavour, add chopped dried fruit, such as raisins, sultanas, etc.
Since I'd successfully made my pineapple tart yesterday, I decided to make some extra Cornflakes Cookies for my Mum and Granny as well.
2nd attempt of cornflakes was as yummy as the first attempt few weeks back. I make it into a small ball this time instead of a big cookies shape. I skip the glaced cherries and grated rind of lemon. It still taste as good but less chewy & crispy since I had replace the shortening with salted butter.
Overall feedback, most of my colleagues perferred this 2nd attempt than the first. But both taste as good! You try it and decided yourself. =D
