Chocolate Chip Cookies, the name makes my mouth water. My undying love for chocolate chip cookies never goes away and there is no time when I don’t crave them. Warm cookies straight out of the oven and a hot cup of coffee is enough to rejuvenate anyone from their super tired day.
Have you ever noticed all the cookies in the cookie aisle at your favorite supermarket. Its a huge variety. Sometimes, when you think of trying something new, a picture on a pack or the beautiful explanation of the scrumptious cookies or a popular brand name or company introducing something new, by modifying a little something in their older version is enough to lure you into trying something. I never paid attention to the details of the ingredients until my older one started developing a taste for them. That’s when I realized that I was feeding my son things that I not only did not know, but found them had to pronounce. Ingredients that sounded better in a chemistry lab than on food.
This is when I decided that I should try and bake my own cookies, I mean how hard can it be…LOLzzz. But, let me tell you, its tough. Baking, not so much, but baking in the right temperature, making sure the heat is just right, is difficult. Plus, the proportion of ingredients has to be proper. A little more butter than required won’t make the cookies softer, but break them apart. A little more sugar won’t make them sweeter, but too sweet for your taste buds. Therefore, the first rule, measure everything.
This recipe is chocolate chip cookies with a hint of cinnamon, which taste a little spiced up and slightly different from your regular cookies. The website has a recipe for regular cookies too, but please do try these ones as well. The slight taste of cinnamon balances the flavor of sweetness and chocolate chips, enhancing the taste, making them taste a little more rich.
These amazingly delicious sweet shots might look difficult to make but honestly, they are super easy and a complete delight to make.
I made them for a group of kids who were looking forward to something exciting and new. The cones are store bought and dipped in melted chocolate and rolled in crushed Almonds. Inside is ice cream milk shake that I made in chocolate flavor, but it can be easily switched to any other flavor as well. I cut the Ferrero Rocher in to half. I think it goes well with all ice cream flavors.
Its an excellent sweet dish for small party, kids party or a small get together. Please follow the ice cream recipe that I have posted. These little heavenly cones will surely be praised and loved by you and your guests.
My boys love their weekend Breakfast. Their school day breakfast is pretty simple, consisting of boiled eggs or a fruit with milk. But Saturday and Sunday are always special for breakfast and that’s when I make them waffles, Pancakes, Biscuits etc.
Initially, I used to make simple pancakes and with time adding different variations to the Pancakes, I added chocolate chips to the pancake and poured some chocolate syrup on top. The Pancakes come out fabulous and your kids are surely gonna love them.
My family and I love homemade chocolates…From Atlantic city, New Jersey to Ooti, India… any place that said homemade chocolates, we were there . We would try almost all kinds, cashews, coconut, caramel and our most favorite Almond. I would always look forward to our trips or spend a fortune online to have them shipped to us.
Finally, one day I got down to trying my own and Oh boy! They were out of the world. And since then, everything changed…These chocolates were made on different occasions along with making them for my kids schools . The best part was everyone always trying to find out the name of the store [since I used colored wrappers from amazon with no names].
The recipe makes chocolates that melt in the mouth. I made these and cut them uneven like homemade chocolate bars. Later, I got chocolate molds and they look super delicious and beautiful.
