Food Tech / Chocolate Chip Cookies

Hi everybody, on Wednesday and on Thursday we made chocolate chip cookies! Here is how we made them:

On Wednesday we first made the base of the cookie which is the dough, then we bake the cookies.

How we made the dough, we had to mix flour, white sugar, chocolate chips, butter, baking powder, vanilla essences. 

On Thursday, we had to cut the dough in half equally, then we moulded it into circles equally, we used 2 tray's to put the cookies in. On the first tray we had to make 16 cookie shape and 8 on the other tray! After that we gave the cookies a flat shape by using a fork. 

Then we put them in the oven and the oven was at fan bake and 180C, we had to leave them for about 9 minutes or maybe more then that, it depends if the cookies edges are golden.

For me the cookies tasted crumbly and sweet but yummy, I didn't really like the texture because it was crumbly I usually don't like those cookies, but overall it tastes good.

Here is the recipe we used:

ingredients:

• 1/4 c sugar (50g) 
• 100g margarine or butter
• 2T condensed milk
• 1T Baking powder
• 1c Flour
• 1t Vanilla Essence

2. Cream the butter (room temperature) and sugar together in a large bowl.
3.  add the condensed milk to the creamed mixture and mix with a wooden spoon then add the Vanilla Essence.
4. Sift the flour and the baking powder together and Add to the mixture.
5. when adding the inclusions, push the ingredients together slowly, not stirring.
6. Use a teaspoon to scoop out the dough (25g - 30g)
7. Roll them all into even circle shapes using the palms of your hands.
8. Place on a baking tray. press down with a fork or palm of your hand flatten the dough slightly.
9. Bake (180 degrees)  for 8 to 9 minutes( depending on if the edges are a brownish colour).
