Welcome to my newest follower, Snow white who lives in Nara, Japan.
Dōmo arigatō (thank you). Hajimemashite (nice to meet you).
Every since I found out I was diabetic I have not been baking as much as before. I miss baking cookies and eating a cookie while drinking my tea. Lately it has been cold and windy here and Tuesday night was no exception. I went on line and found this easy recipe for chocolate chip cookies. These cookies are different from others I have tried because you add cocoa to the mixture.
Recipe Ingredients:
3/4 cup vegetable oil
2/3 cup sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
2 tbsp water if dough is dry ( I had to add a bit of water)
1/4 cup chopped walnuts ( I added some leftover pecan nuts as I don't have any walnuts)
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
|
The mixed cookie batter. |
Recipe Instructions:
Beat together the oil, sugar, and egg. Add the rest of the
ingredients and stir to blend well. Let stand for 10 minutes. Drop
by spoonfuls, about 1 inch apart, onto a lightly oiled baking sheet.
Bake for about 8 - 10 minutes (or until done) at about 375 F.
My batter made 30 cookies.

These cookies were tasty and not too sweet but flavourful enough with the added cocoa. The cookies are also a bit crispy.
