Homade chocolate chip cookies

Last weekend, I tried my hand in baking choc chip cookies. Quite easy recipe, but for me I like to use the hand mixer rather than use your hand to mix the ingredients together. To do a simple homemade choc chip cookies, you'' need:

For dough (makes about 30 pcs)

280 grams plain flour

225 grams butter, softened

140 grams caster sugar

1 egg yolk

2 tsp orange extract or any other flavour (i used strawberry)

A pinch of salt

100 grams choc chips

For coating

2 tbsp caster sugar

2 tbsp cinnamon powder

1. Add in sugar and butter and mix well with wooden spoon/hand mixer.

2. Then add in the yolk + orange extract + pinch of salt.

3. Mix everything until the caster sugar has dissolved or till the batter turns white.

4. Then add in the choc chips.

The mixture became a very, very soft dough.

Do not, I repeat, do not be tempted to add in more flour as the ingredients are just nice

Form the dough into a small ball like so

Roll the ball in caster sugar + cinnamon powder

Arrange the balls spaced apart to allow it to bake properly for

15-20 minutes in a preheated 190 degrees celcius oven.

The cookies after 15-20 mins....

...not so beautiful, but they taste good!

Allow the cookies to completely cool then store it in airtight container.

The end product!
