CHOCO CHIPS COOKIES

Ingredients

1. 2 eggs
2. 1 cup sugar powdered
3. 2 cups all purpose flour
4. 70 gm unsalted melted butter
5. 2 tbsp any chocolate powder
6. 1 tbsp coco powder
7. Pinch of baking powder
8. 2-3 drops of vanilla essence
9. Choco chips

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the 2 eggs and add powdered sugar. Mix it well to form a fine paste.

2. Now add all-purpose flour and melted butter to the large mixing bowl (Step 1) and bring in all ingredients into a fine paste using your blender/spatula. Next, add chocolate and cocoa powder, vanilla essence, and a pinch of baking powder. Blend it again and put it in a fridge in an airtight container for 1 hour.

3. Pre-heat your oven for 4 minutes at 170 degrees C and in the meantime, bring out your tray, and lay the butter paper/parchment paper. Brush it with butter evenly.

4. Take out the cookie mould from the fridge, and give it the shape of a cookie. To do that, take small portions, place them between your palms and press. Now sprinkle Choco chips and press them lightly so that it does not come out.

5. Put the cookies in the baking tray for baking at 170 degrees for 20 minutes.

Note: Keep checking after 12-14 minutes while baking.
