extra large chocolate chunk cookies

my sister made this, recipe taken from an Australian recipe book...will upload the recipe later...but this cookies is very nice, soft with some chunks inside...melts in your mouth...

From a recipe book that my sister copied in Australia…we didn’t expect the cookies to become extra large and they coalesced together…but tastes superb and crispy…

175g plain (semisweet) chocolate ** we used normal dark cooking chocolate
115g butter, cut into pieces
2 eggs
½ cup sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
1/3 cup flour
¼ cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp vanilla
pinch of salt

1 cup pecans, chopped

1 cup plain chocolate chips

1/2 cup white chocolate chips

1/2 cup milk chocolate, chopped

** we used assorted chocolate bars with nut, adding all to the same amount stated

Preheat oven to 160 degrees. Grease baking sheets.

Melt plain chocolate and butter in a pan over low heat, stirring frequently. Leave to cool slightly

Using an electric mixer, beat eggs and sugar for 2-3 minutes. Gradually beat in melted chocolate.

Beat in flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, vanilla and salt. Stir in nuts and chocolate pieces

Drop heaped tablespoons of mixture onto the baking sheets 10cm apart aand flatten each to a round about 3 inches diameter

Bake for 8-10 min until tops are shiny and cracked and the edges look crisp.

Remove the baking sheets to a wire rack to cool for 2 min, then remove the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

Do not allow these cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet or they will become too crisp and will break when you try to lift them

very easy peanut butter cookies

THIS IS MY SISTER'S RECIPE. SHE LOVES EXPERIMENTING BAKING AND COOKING NEW THINGS. SHE IS A GREAT COOK (BUT I'M STILL BETTER THAN HER...HAHAHAHA). SHE INSISTED THAT I PUT THIS RECIPE ON MY BLOG TO SHARE WITH YOU GUYS..I HAVEN'T TRIED IT THOUGH BUT I ALWAYS TRUST MY SISTER'S TASTEBUD.

ORIGINALLY FROM HER EMAIL TO ME (I JUST COPY AND PASTE)

1 cup crunchy peanut butter
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon baking powder (optional)
(yup that's it!!!)

- mix everything together
- line baking sheet with baking paper or aluminium foil
- drop teaspoons of cookie dough on the sheet -leave about 2-3cm space between each
- flatten the cookie dough down with a fork
- bake in 180 degrees oven, for about 10 minutes *
- remove from oven and leave to cool for a few minutes (they will be soft as you take them out of the oven, but when they cool down *PRONTO* they will be like REAL cookies, in no time at all heheheee)

*if u want them chewy, cook them for a shorter period of time...if you want them crispy, cook them longer...just watch the base of the cookies-don't leave them too long in the oven until burnt (like mine did, but very crispy hehehee)

as raya is coming up....for those people who complain they don't have time to make kuih raya...try this!!!...3 minutes preparation...i guarantee..hehee...and the result is really good too!! but this recipe doesn't make much..you can double or tripple it (then need to buy big bucket of PB laaa!!!)
