214. double chocolate brownie cookies

so chocolatey

I love going through food blogs of other bloggers. Some have amazing photos and some urge me to try out the recipes. One of my favourite blogs is what megan's making.com. Her bread, dessert and cookie recipes are nice, easy to follow and look yummy. My daughter Namrata is a chocoholic and I decided to try out Megan's double chocolate brownie bites. We loved the cookies and they are different from the cookies I have blogged so far as the texture is between a cookie and a brownie. I made slight changes to the original recipe to suit our needs. I did not roll them in sugar as I didn't want sweet cookies. I love the cracked effect on top of the cookies. Thank you Megan for sharing the recipe with us.



DOUBLE CHOCOLATE BROWNIE COOKIES
makes about 30

1½ cups plain flour (all purpose flour)
¼ cup cocoa powder
¾ tsp soda bicarbonate (baking soda)
½ cup butter (approx 110g)
½ cup packed brown sugar
½ cup honey
1 cup chocolate chips
1 tsp orange zest or vanilla extract
½ cup granulated sugar for coating (optional)

  1. Sift flour, cocoa and baking soda together into a bowl. Add the chocolate chips to it and mix well.
  2. In another bowl cream brown sugar, butter and honey together till it is light and fluffy.
  3. Add the orange zest or extract and mix well.
  4. Add the flour mixture and mix it well.
  5. Gather up the dough and place it on a cling film.
  6. Wrap it up and let it sit in the fridge for about an hour.
  7. Preheat the oven to 160°C.
  8. Take a tablespoonful of the dough, roll it up and then roll it in the granulated sugar if using any. Flatten it slightly between your palms.
  9. Place the rolled dough onto a greased tray.
  10. Repeat with the remaining dough. Place the rolled dough an inch apart.
  11. Bake in the oven for 9 to 10 minutes.
  12. Remove the tray from the oven. Leave the cookies on the tray till they become slightly cool.
  13. Remove the cookies and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
Tips :
  • Can make the cookies bigger if you like.
  • Add extra amount of chocolate chips.
  • If the dough becomes too soft to roll, just put it in the freezer section for 5 minutes.
  • Roll the dough in chocolate sprinkle instead of sugar.

The Holiday State    February is when Shhh Cooking Secretly group (started by Priya of Priya's Versatile Recipes ) had a virtual tour of Goa. Its been over 30 years since I've visited Goa. I remember when we were passing the town centre, there was a huge crowd of people. We asked the taxi driver what was going on and he replied "koi naya actor ki shooting chal rahi hai, aap ko dekhna hai?" he asked. We asked if he knew the actor and he said no so we didn't stop to watch. Who was the new actor? None other than Shakrukh Khan shooting for the movie Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa!    I remember we were staying at some hotel in town and would go to the Taj Holiday Resort to get onto the beach. Back then there were not many hotels. I remember getting to the beach and for miles there would hardly be anyone. There use to be a fish shack near Taj and hubby, my brother and my cousin would enjoy fresh fish and I'd get only French fries (fishy ones)!    Goa is  the smallest states

337.Green tomato jam

My first jam making session      I have over the years accumulated many jam recipes but have never tried making jam. I don't know, is it because I feel it might be difficult or I get scared to sterilise the jars. Don't know why. However, today Julius my househelp, walks in with a whole bag of green tomatoes from his farm. I got excited and instantly the recipe for the green tomato jam came out my recipe book. I was a bit hesitant as I had no idea how the jam would turn out. It tastes yummy and I had some with plain paratha as a snack in the afternoon. The jam is sweet and tangy at the same time. It didn't take long at all and I think now the jam bug is slowly creeping into my bones. Its funny how I get stuck onto certain things for a period of time, first it was salads, then bread, followed by muffins then the cookie bug took over and now it seems its jams. Planning to make some to take for my Nunu and my daughter, Nami as I am travelling very soon to India. Will try out di

Buckwheat savoury pancakes#Bread Bakers Starting a healthy year   The Bread Bakers theme for January is Ancient Grains hosted by Robin Beck of  A Shaggy Dough Story . I'll be honest, had a slight idea about ancient grains but never actually paid much attention to it. I have used some of them not knowing that they are classed as ancient grains. My research began on the internet as to what really are ancient grains(heritage grains). All the grains we know are somewhat ancient as they have existed for years. However ancient grains are ones that have not changed over the last hundred years i.e have not been hybridized. They have not been modified over the years.Ancient grains have more robust texture thriving without much pesticides and fertilizers.Some of the most common ancient grains are quinoa, millet, spelt, teff, sorghum, farro(emmer), kamut(khorasan), chia, freekeh,amaranth, buckwheat,barley, wild rice. I realised that the Indian cuisine uses quite a few of these ancient grains
