Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies


  • A friend of mine had ordered a RVC cake that day.As I was measuring the ingredients I accidentally put in the soda bicarbonate into the flour. I wasn't sure what to do next,so I put that flour mixture(which already had cocoa powder and salt in it) aside.After finishing my RVC I started thinking what should I do withe the flour.I said to myself.I've baked cakes but I've never baked cookies.So I started looking for cookies recipe which had ingredients similar to my flour mixture.And I came to find this recipe.I know it tastes real good when my eldest son compared it with a jar of chocolate chip cookies that my husband received from 1 of his students.Muaz said:
  • "Ummi,your chocolate chip cookies is by far better than this one".. And that statement really made my day.Ahaks.
  • Okay,lets see the ingredients.

  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar

My hubby just got me a new stand mixer yesterday.Its not one of those big Kitchen Aid mixer.Just a Cornell stand mixer which we got fairly cheap at SenQ after redemption.So I thought of giving it a try.Since Salman was going back to his hostel and one of my ex-student was also in the house and going back to her college,I decided to make some choclate chip cookies for them to take with them.

  2. Mix sugars, butter and egg in large bowl. Stir in flour, baking soda and salt (dough will be stiff). Stir in nuts and chocolate chips.
