This is what makes me happy.
Well, that and listening to loud music, and my kids, and friends.
It is what matters, right?
Do you make New Year's Resolutions?
I do not.
I just try all year round to be a great person, healthy, and all I can be.
I hope this is the year my blog will take off.
Maybe, I'll make a New Year's Resolution, this year...
To believe in myself more.
To have more confidence.
Less doubt.
We all have stories.
I would like to hear yours.
Anyways, bake to baking.
These cookies are chocolately. They look plain, but they are not!
You take a bite and you can't figure out which part of the cookie is better.
If you want them to be a bit crisper, let them bake for a minute longer.
Thank you to Like Mother Like Daughter
I did change it a bit, in the beginning of baking I used the Chocolate dough to surround the
Chocolate-Chip dough.
What I mean is, the Chocolate-Chip dough was the used in the center and the Chocolate dough was the outside.
Maybe the picture will explain it better.
Then I got lazy and just did it as the recipe stated it to do.
Which is merge the two-doughs.
Both are equally yummy.
What I really liked was I had equal amount of dough to make the cookies.
I made 50 cookies.
I used the 1/2 Tbsp scoop. for each dough. Once it was merged, it equalled to 1 Tbsp. of dough.
*Once both doughs are made, place dough in the fridge to harden. (approx. 30-minutes).
Especially the Chocolate dough; and in-between batches.
Two-Toned Chocolate Cookies
Chocolate-Chip: 1/2 cup butter, room-temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup firmly-packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate-chips
*Beat the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. (approx. 4-minutes).
*Beat in egg and vanilla.
Remember to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl.
*Add the flour, baking powder and baking soda; and mix until combined.
*Add the chocolate chips; mix until all is evenly-distributed.
**Cover and refrigerate dough and start on Chocolate dough.
Chocolate: 1/2 cup butter, room-temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup firmly-packed brown sugar
1 large egg
2 Tbsp milk (I used 2%)
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate-chips
*Beat the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. (approx. 4-minutes).
*Beat in egg and milk.
*Add the cocoa powder; and mix.
Remember to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl.
*Add the flour, baking powder, and baking soda; and mix until combined.
*Add the chocolate chips; mix until all is evenly-distributed.
**Cover dough and refrigerate for approx. 30-minutes.
**I removed the Chocolate-Chip dough from the fridge 1st and I scooped out the dough
using the 1/2 Tbsp scoop.
*Rolled them into little balls and placed them on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper;
and placed them back into the fridge.
**I removed the Chocolate dough from the fridge and repeated the process.
Placing the dough back into the fridge for another 10-minutes.
*Preheat oven 350F.
Line a baking sheet/pan with either a Sil-Pat mat (I use this) or parchment paper.
Set aside.
*I removed the balls from the fridge and rolled the two-doughs together into a ball.
*Place the balls approx. 2-inches apart (they do spread).
*Bake for approx. 10-minutes or until the edges are golden.
*Carefully remove from baking sheet/pan and let cook on a wire-rack.
***Please Note: I always use Salted Butter and then omit the salt requested in the recipe.
You should do what you feel is best.
Enjoy!
:)
