CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES (melted choc inside)

Weh sumpah la ni ONE of the best chocolate chip cookies i ever taste serious tak tipu oi.  Memang ni masuk list the best ones. Bayangkan, cookies ni crispy dekat luar pastu pergh peh peh! Chewy lembut je dekat tengah2. Allahu. Sumpah kecur liuq. But yeah, mana ada cookies yang tak sedap kan huhuhu. Okay? And guess what? Qila jumpa tiga resepi 'chewy-soft' chocolate chip cookies dari AveryCooks which are: 

1. CHOC CHIP AND CHUNK COOKIES
2. SOFTBATCH CREAM CHEESE CHOC CHIP COOKIES
3. THE BEST SOFT AND CHEWY CHOC CHIP COOKIES

Memang penat sikit duk try and hafal rasa each recipe ehehe. But takpe! Demi cekolet chips yang sedap na mampos hahah! Ok so here's the comparison.

1. CHOC CHIP AND CHUNK COOKIES - rasa dia sedap! Tapi mcm typical and keras sikit compare to creamcheese bawah ni.
2. SOFTBATCH CREAM CHEESE CHOC CHIP COOKIES - dia kurang kan butter sikit, and tambah cream cheese. Hasilnya, sangat sangat lembut mashaallah! Memang mcm brownies uhuhuhu.
3. THE BEST SOFT AND CHEWY CHOC CHIP COOKIES - guna instant pudding mix. Well sadly i didnt found any so qila decided tak guna resepi ni huhuhu.

Okay ni qila ada translate sikit ek the resepi haha. Sebab mat salleh ni selalu guna by cup. Pening haku. And lepas google bagai baru la qila translate ihihih. And qila ada kurangkan gula sebab lebih kan chocolate chunks tu peh peh peh memang meleleh! Heee.

INGREDIENTS:
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• ¼ cup cream cheese, softened (use cream cheese in a block or spreadable, don't use fat-free, light or whipped)
• ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• Pinch salt
• 2 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks (I used 1 cup chips and 1 1/4 cups chunks)

Tweak-ed Ingredients by me:
•1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, softened
•¼ cup (57g) cream cheese, softened (use cream cheese in a block or spreadable, don't use fat-free, light or whipped)
•¾  cup (171g) brown sugar
•2 teaspoons of white sugar
•1 large egg
•2 teaspoons vanilla extract
•2 1/4 cups (288g) all-purpose flour
•2 teaspoons cornstarch
•1 teaspoon baking soda (sodium bikarbonat) BUKAN BAKING POWDER OK.
•Pinch salt
•3/4 cup chocolate chips + 1 cup DARK chocolate bar chunks + 1/2 cup of any nuts (i used cashew nuts) 

DIRECTIONS:

1. Combine the butter, cream cheese, sugars, egg, vanilla, and beat on medium-high speed until well-creamed, light and fluffy, about 5 mins.
2. + the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, optional salt, and mix until just combined, about 1 minute.
3. + chocolate chips and chunks.
4. Using a medium 2-inch cookie scoop, form heaping mounds (I made 30). Cover with plasticwrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or up to 5 days, before baking. Do not bake with warm dough because cookies will spread and bake thinner and flatter.
5. Preheat oven to 350F, line a baking sheet &
6. Spaced at least 1-2 inches apart. Bake for 8 to 9 minutes, or until edges have set and tops are just beginning to set, even if slightly undercooked, pale and glossy in the center. 
7. Do not bake longer than 10 minutes as cookies will firm up as they cool (The cookies shown in the photos were baked with dough that had been chilled overnight, allowed to come to room temp for 15 minutes, and were baked for 8 minutes, with trays rotated at the 4-minute mark. They have chewy edges with soft, pillowy centers).
8. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing and transferring to a rack to finish cooling.

Okay!!! Kalau nak buat cookies yang sedap, ni lah tips tips dia ok? no matter which one you try:

1. Use butter. If it isn’t butter, don’t bother. Just don't use margarine la. Really.
2. Milk chocolate chunks – I like to buy the dark chocolate bar (cadbury, beryl, etc), chop it up and use in ONE recipe. You can substitute any flavour if that’s what you prefer.
3. Chill the dough. No matter what. Trust me. Portion into dough balls and chill, covered, in the refrigerator OR put whole of dough directly in the freezer.
4. Use dark brown sugar if possible, even if the recipe calls for light brown. Dark brown provides more caramelized brown sugar flavor.
5. Don’t bake at less than 350 degrees. I often preheated the oven to 375 or even 400 degrees, put the cookies in at 375 for a few minutes then lowered the heat to 350 or 360. This helps the cookies set faster before they spread too much. But I don't recommend baking the whole time at 375 or 400 or else the chips start to burn before your cookies are done.
6. Don’t overbake! Ever. Bake just until the edges are golden brown and the middles don’t look like raw melted dough. If the edges are already too brown and the middle still looks doughy, take them out anyway. Once they set, they’ll still be okay. But if you overbake, make sure overbake untill it become whole crunchy hahaha. Takkan jadi soft cookies dah la hihi.
7. Make the dough balls big, at least golf-ball size. This isn’t the time to be dainty.
8. Don’t bake too many at once. The beauty of making dough balls and freezing them is you can bake only as many as you need when you need them.

TADAAAA THIS IS MINE!!!!

Chiba Sweet Potato from Japan!

Chiba??? Well. CHIBA Prefecture is one of the LARGEST sweet potato producers in Japan! Yes! Seriously, their sweet potatoes have richer and more sweet taste than other prefectures’ sweet potatoes because the excellent producers are very very particular on the production of the sweet potatoes. Such as about the soil and cultivation methods which resulting the best high quality sweet potatoes!

These are the representatives from Chiba Prefecture, Japan launching the promotional event in Malaysia! Wuhuw! Well, they made a special booth in front of Village Grocer to introduce the Chiba Sweet Potato by giving some samples, and also sell them freshly baked with a special machine.

Sweet Potato is a comfort food for beauty containing vitamins, potassium & dietary fiber! It also are easy to digest as well, since they mainly contain starch. They are soothing for the stomach and intestines, so you will avoid any difficulties of digesting them. 

Last but not least, sweet potato are naturally sweet-tasting. Nyums!

It’s organic but tastes like sweet desserts *mouth-watering*

Ha see? It's no surprise that sweet potatoes are at top of nearly everyone's healthiest foods list ^_^ Now! You can bake easy and delicious Sweet Potato at home! 

How to bake #ChibaSweetPotato? :

1. Wash a potato and wrap in aluminium foil.
2. Heat an oven at 200'C, and bake it at 40-50 minutes.
3. Stab a skewer into the potato. When it goes smoooothly it's ready to eat!

Sweet potatoes become super soft and moist when cooked, or baked, or steamed! Wait. Try them roasted, puréed, or grilled. Also, it tastes delicious too even when chilled in a refrigerator okay?! I mean. How versatile is that?????? Huhu.

 

Plus, if you're on a Calorie-Diet plan, this sweet potato is around 80-100 calories for medium size (approximately 100gram) So why not include this scrumptious sweet potato in your snacking option?!

 

Here some samples given to visitors so Malaysian people could try baked Chiba Sweet Potato.

 

He he he. I grabbed 2 packets for myself! The price range is from RM6-13 which is affordable! Well I guess the baked potatoes is just the right way to eat the tender, fluffy & sweetness of the potatoes. The edible skin would be crispy while the potato itself is plain nyummy! They’re warm, super tender and fluffy on any chilly evening, on their own!

Dear Chiba from Japan, you potatouch my heart ❤

Potatoes are the perfect dating partners. They’ll never reject you and if you’re not interested, you can just eat them. You can’t do that with most human partners. Trust me. So yeah. Happy sweet potato day everyone! It's my kind of potato day. Hahah! I love u Chiba Sweet Potatoes mainly because you was so soft and sweet! Lol. If you're a fan of sweet potatoes like me, this is really a treat! hihihih.
