Chocolate cookies | Choco chip cookies recipe | Eggless chocolate cookies
Chocolate cookies are one of the yummiest cookies ever discovered, baked with all-purpose flour, coco powder and sugar.
Ingredients
Ingredients:
Dry ingredients:
- 1½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup coco powder
- ¾ cup powdered sugar icing sugar
- ¾ tsp baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tbsp choco chips white or dark
Wet ingredients:
- 2 tbsp butter
- ½ cup oil
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- ¼ cup warm water if required
Instructions
Preparation:
- Measure sugar and powder it nicely. You can use icing sugar instead.
Recipe:
- In a large mixing bowl, take butter(room temperature) and oil and beat them together.
- Add sugar with the mixture and combine well with an electric beater or manual beater until it becomes a whole mass and fluffy. The sugar must incorporate well with the fat. Hence use the powdered sugar for easy mixing.
- Now place a large sieve on top of a bowl, sift all-purpose flour, coco powder, baking powder and salt.
- For extra flavor, add vanilla essence and combine everything with a spatula.
- Use a few tbsp of warm water or oil to combine the flour.
- At this stage, you can add Choco chips of any variety. I added both white and dark chocochips.
- Mix and prepare a thick chapati like dough.
- Press or roll with a pin gently and shape into desired shapes. Use a bottle cap or circular mould for circular shape cookies.
- Alternately, you can cut the pressed dough into square shapes using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.
- Arrange the shapes in a lined or greased baking tray.
- In the meantime, preheat the oven to 180°C and bake the cookies for 15-20mins. Usually, cookies don't need more than 20mins to get baked.
- Let the cookies cool down for 30mins before serving or storing.
- Initially, the cookies would be softer in texture when they're still hot and later when time progress, they will become hard and crispier. Hence allow enough time to cool down the core temperature of the chocolate cookies.
Notes
Tips: 1) Vanilla essence gives a nice flavor to the cookies. 2) You can use the same recipe to make plain chocolate cookies without chocochips. 3) More baking powder makes bitter cookies. 4) Add only the required amount of liquid. Too much liquid makes gooey cookies instead of crispy one.
