ChocoChip Cookies

Baked with Love and For Love (the love for Cookies)

This year, Valentine’s Day brought back my love for Baking. And by popular demand at home, chocolate chip cookies were the chosen Winner.

Some of you may ask why do all the work when you can just buy them from the store. Personally, for me, the fun and satisfaction of baking your own cookies in the comfort of your home, knowing that everything will be as per Your Taste, the sight of seeing those cookies rise, that feeling of sweet success when you take the first bite – all of that hits different!!! And when you have a lil cookie monster to help you bake – the happiness on that innocent face just makes these baking sessions ever more exuberant.

FAQs

What makes chocolate chip cookies come out flat?

As a first time baker, or on-off baker, we tend to whisk the batter a bit quickly. Sometimes, the butter egg mixture is dropped in all at once, which results in a thick liquid kind of a batter. This results in a cookie batter instead of a cookie dough and when it gets heated it starts to spread. The flat cookies are delicious too. Don’t lose heart, enjoy those as well. We’ve all been there.

Why are my cookies raw in the middle?

It could be one of the following reasons. The dough wasn’t cool enough before baking. When we don’t let the melted butter cool down a bit, the cookie dough becomes warm. Another reason could be extra butter. Extra Butter will cause the cookies to spread when they’re heated.
Let the butter cool down a bit, when it’s melted or, put your cookie dough in the fridge for 10-15mins. If the problem persists, then you’re using more butter, use less butter.

Why chocolate chip cookie tastes cakey?

Sometimes, when you use different flours instead of “All Purpose Flour” the texture and taste might differ. Try and use the same ingredients as mentioned in the recipe.

Is baking chocolate chip cookie very hard?

Not at all. Just need to follow the recipe to the dot, and always take care of the TIPS mentioned. They are from personal experience and helps improve your baking techniques as well.

What happens if we put less eggs in the chocolate chip cookie dough?

Well you will get different texture and taste. The egg white gives stability and moisture to our cookie dough. The yolk, where all of the egg fat is, helps in increasing richness, tenderness and flavour of the mixture. If less egg then the cookie will crumble, if an extra egg then cookie will be chewier.

Should I use baking powder or baking soda for chocolate chip cookies?

Here’s a little secret, baking soda helps spread the cookies more than baking powder. Also, if you’re looking for a cakey taste and texture you can add baking powder.

Which ingredient helps in making soft cookies?

The answer is Raw Brown Sugar. It makes the cookie soft and also give a nice colour to the cookies.

What happens if I add too much baking soda to cookies?

It will taste soapy.
