Vanilla Cookies with Chunky Chocolate


 Hearty vanilla cookies loaded with chunks and chunks of chocolate bites, oh cookies you are so wonderful





I have been on cookies quest so how come the amazing vanilla cookies loaded with chocolate chunk could be missed. The best things about these cookies is their wonderful taste and texture, chewy yet soft. Couple of important things to remember, do not over mix the dough and chilling for at least 3 hours. It’s advised to use egg for the wonderful chewiness in cookies but I avoid it as much as I could and replace it with curd. Please try to use thick curd and not runny one. Have everything at room temperature before you start working on you cookies. I can keep writing about how wonderful these cookies look and taste, but like to leave you just there with the recipe, try yourself and let me know.








2 cup Flour

½ cup Granular Sugar

½ cup Brown Sugar

½ cup Butter

½ cup Curd

½ Teaspoon Baking Soda

½ Teaspoon Baking Powder

½ Teaspoon Vanilla Extract

1 Cup chopped dark chocolate

Cream the butter for 2mins until light and then add both the sugars. Beat till its light and pale in color. Add curd and vanilla extract and beat for another minute.

Shift the flour, baking soda and baking power together. Add the chopped chocolate chunks

Add this dry mixture in the wet mix small amount at a time and mix till the all of the flour mixture is incorporated. You will get a dough, which is quite easy to handle. If you find yours too sticky don’t worry and if its too hard you and sprinkle a tablespoon milk to loosen it up. Try not to over work the dough, you will not get the right texture
 
Bring the dough together by gently working on it and make a ball, wrap it with cling film and keep in the refrigerator for chilling for at least three hours


Pre-heat the oven at 180 Degree C

Take out the dough from refrigerator and make 11-12 dough balls. Line the baking tray with baking paper and place them slighting apart from each other

You might need to press the dough balls a bit to help them get the cookie shape sooner if the dough it too hard after chilling

Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden in color

  1. Very interesting blog. A lot of blogs I see these days don't really provide anything that attract others, but I'm most definitely interested in this one. Just thought that I would post and let you know.
