As part of the endless list of JSV Agenda's We are to Bake some cookies! Not Ready-Mix Cookies that are sold on Groceries but the "REAL" Cookie Thing! The ones where we follow a recipe (Did we really follow it?) and cook it ourselves. We then went to SM Rosario to grab the Ingredients! Led by our Transportation Department Head, Vigie Boy, together with Me, Judy, Caren and the kids Abrielle and Charles (Tricia, We Miss you!!!) Went home and after an afternoon Yakisoba Boodle Feast, we started the Main Event!
By the way, just like the Title of the recipe shows, this is actually a Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe. But due to the lack of Chocolate Chips, we just used about 5 pieces of Chocolate Truffles and chopped it. As it melted, instead of choco chunks, it blended with the batter making the Marble Look so then we called it Marble Cookies. Step by Step, may we proudly present, the Marble Cookies ala JSV!
Let's Start with the Ingredients. By the way, we only use the Highest Quality Ingredients for our Kitchen Masterpieces.
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda (Dissolved in 2 teaspoons of Hot Water)
2 tablespoons Vanilla Essence
2 cups Brown Sugar
2 Medium Sized Eggs
3 cups All-Purpose Flour
1 cup melted butter
After all the Ingredients have been gathered and prepared, it is now time to start with the procedures.
1. Preheat the Oven for about 10 minutes at a stable heat of 350 degrees Fahrenheit so that the cookies will be cooked equally from the crust to the core. It is a good idea to start preheating the oven while you prepare the cookie batter.
2. Start creaming the melted Butter and the Brown Sugar. It would look somewhat like this and you should make sure that all the melted butter blends with the brown sugar.
3. When your Butter and Brown Sugar mixture is ready, you can start beating in the eggs one at a time. While dropping the eggs, make sure you continue mixing. While Vigie was cracking the eggs and I was mixing it along, Caren was taking these wonderful documentations. By the way, this became quite messy because Vigie dared me to crack the eggs with the use of my Palms, no Nails, just one single Palm. I did it and they were amazed but some of the egg whites splattered on my pants, face and my eyeglasses!
4. Continue mixing and the batter should look like this. Very creamy but not so thick. After all the dry ingredients are creamed together with the eggs, it is now time to add the Vanilla Essence and then after mixing, it should look like this one, below
5. Then, we add the Three cups of All-Purpose Flour. to prevent the Flour from blowing around the place (though it still did and went through my pants and Carens') Add the Flour Cup by Cup while continuously mixing the batter.
6. When the batter is properly folded, it should look like a bread dough, thus it is called a cookie dough! Add the Chocolate Chips or whatever you wish to add to your yummy cookies! We used Chopped Chocolate Truffles :)
7. Place the cookies on a Baking Tray depending on the size you desire. It is a good idea to press the middle part of the cookies before placing it in the oven to make sure that all the parts, especially the middle part of the cookie, will be properly baked.
8. When it is not properly pressed, it would rise up a bit and the middle part would be cakey (though it still tastes YUMMY!!!)
9. Bake it inside the oven for around 10 - 15 minutes depending if you like soft chewy cookies or the crispy and crunchy ones!
This cookie recipe can make up to 50 normal sized cookies. After we have finished cooking everything, we had dinner and we haven't got to eat most of it because we felt really full! Though a little taste really made us really satisfied because whatever the taste may be, the most important part of everything that the JSV Group does is the fun that comes with it. We had so much fun and we can really say we baked something REAL! Not the ones we did before using ready-mix brownies (WHICH IS REALLY GOOD AS WELL)
Losing control of the song as he flies in the air. :)
