Just reposting the recipe from the last forum.
Hey guys, so sorry it took me forever to get back here. I've been really busy.
OK, my creative outlet is cooking. You got it right.
I would like to share my recipes here. I think one recipe a month will be a quota I can meet. I use American standard units of measurement. For many of my recipes it should be easy enough to convert to metric, however baking is much more precise and I can not convert as easily.
What is the more common way of measuring ingredients in Europe? Grams or litters?
Here is my first recipe. Something simple and classic; chocolate chip cookies.
You will need the following:
,½ Cup unsalted butter (one stick.)
1 Cup Golden Brown Sugar
1 Cup Sugar
1 Table Spoon Vanilla Extract
1 Large Egg
1.5 Cups All Purpose Flour
1 Tea Spoon Salt
1 Tea Spoon Baking Powder
Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
First off, the butter has to be room temperature. Leave it out on the counter for a few hours until it gets soft. Place it in a deep mixing bowl and add the vanilla.
Beat it with an electric mixer on med-high until the mixture is creamy and a little fluffy.
Add the sugars and turn the mixer to low. Beet until evenly mixed.
Add the egg and continue mixing, increasing the speed when the mixture starts pulling together.
Combine the dry ingredients and sift into the batter and hand kneed.
Now, here is the best part. You can add as much chocolate chips as you want. I usually add about 8oz. Which is about 230g.
Grease a large cookie sheet.
Place the dough in ping-pong ball sized clump and bake at 350*F for 11 minutes.
Allow them to cool and remove the cookies from the pan.
