Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies

Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies

 

 

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons/140 grams unsalted butter (1 1/4 sticks), softened
  •  Scant 3/4 cup/140 grams dark brown sugar
  •  cup/110 grams superfine sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 ¾ cups plus 2 tablespoons/250 grams all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon Maldon sea salt (or kosher salt)
  • 6 ounces/170 grams dark (bittersweet) chocolate, chopped into large chunks

Directions:

  1. Put the butter and both sugars in a stand mixer or mixing bowl. Cream together using a paddle attachment on medium speed, a handheld electric whisk or a wooden spoon for 1 to 2 minutes until paler but not fluffy. (Do not mix for too long; if you beat the mixture until super light and fluffy, that will cause the cookie to deflate later when cooking.)
  2. Add the egg and beat over medium speed until evenly combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the dry ingredients (all the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt), then fold into the butter mixture using a rubber spatula until combined.
  4. Add the chopped chocolate and fold into the dough until evenly distributed.
  5. Immediately scoop out heaping 1/4-cup portions (about 60 grams), roll into balls and place on two baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 12 hours. (If space is tight, you can condense them on one sheet before refrigerating then redistribute among two sheets before baking.)
  6. The next day, heat the oven to 350 degrees.
  7. Make sure the dough balls are evenly spaced out among two baking sheets, as they will spread. Bake the cookies for 13 minutes (or 15 minutes if baking from frozen), until the cookies are puffed and golden at the edges. You want the middle to be ever so slightly not-quite set.
  8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet; they will continue firming up as they cool. Once cooled, eat! (These cookies will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days. The balls of dough will keep for up to 2 days in the fridge or 2 weeks in the freezer.)

Cheesy Quesadillas

Ingredients ( Serves 4)

  • 2-3 cups of filling: leftover cooked veggies, shredded meat, crumbled tofu, cooked beans, fresh or frozen corn, cooked rice or grains, or any other leftovers., • 2 teaspoons butter or vegetable oil

  • 4 large 9-10-inch flour tortillas , • 2 cups shredded cheese (any cheese of your choice)

Method
1. Filling: Pick a few of the above suggested fillings, to make 2-3 cups total filling. If using leftovers, warm them in the microwave or skillet over a medium heat. If using raw ingredients, cook before making the quesadillas. Transfer the filling to a bowl and cover to keep warm.

  1. Melt 1/2 teaspoon of butter or oil in a skillet : Ironically, the key to crispy quesadillas is less fat in the pan, not more. To make them crispy use just enough to coat the bottom of the skillet – about 1/2 teaspoon of butter or oil. Warm it in the skillet over a medium-high heat.

  2. Add the tortilla, and top with cheese:Lay one tortilla in the skillet and sprinkle with 1/2 cup of cheese.

  3. Add the filling: Spread 1/2 cup of filling in a single layer over half of the tortilla. Spreading over half makes the quesadilla easier to fold, and adding it as the cheese melts gives the filling time to warm, if it has cooled a bit.

  4. Watch for the cheese to melt:Once the cheese  started melting  begin lifting a corner of the tortilla to check the underside. When you see golden-brown spots  underside of the tortilla, your quesadilla is ready

  5. Fold the quesadilla in half:Use the spatula to fold in half, sandwiching the filling.

  6. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into wedges:If serving immediately, slice into wedges. If you’re preparing several quesadillas for a crowd, slide them un-cut onto a baking sheet and keep warm in a 200°F oven – slice before serving.

  7. Wipe the pan clean and repeat:Clean the pan, melt another bit of butter, and repeat the above steps.

Savory Broccoli Muffins

Ingredients

  • 100 gms broccoli, 1 cup almond flour

  • ½ cup coconut flour optional, ½ tsp red chili powder

  • ½ tsp freshly ground pepper, 4 tsp flaxseeds

  • ½ cup water, 1 tsp salt as per taste

Method: wash the broccoli head and chop the florets. In a food processor, grind the florets to fine pieces. Transfer the fine broccoli to a mixing bowl and add almond flour. Thereafter, add pepper and chili powder to it.

In another bowl, add flaxmeal and 2 tsp of water and let it sit for 2 mins.

Mix all together. Do not add all the water at once, slowly add water until the mixture is just damp. Let it stand for 8-10 mins so that the flaxmeal absorbs water and form dough.

Heat  oven to 325 degree F and spray the muffin tray with baking spray.

Transfer the mixture to the muffin pan and bake it for 15-18 mins.

Do a toothpick test to check if the muffins are cooked. Enjoy.
