Motormouth took a bite off some Homemade Chocolate Cookies

When you're feeling blue .... nothing beats munching on a piece, or two, or a whole plate of chocolate cookies for that matter. In the office, during working hours, no less.

Courtesy of a fellow blogger (thanks Min!!!), who bakes, cooks and blogs her experiments all this while, and yet this is the FIRST time we get to sample her creations. Hmm ... Or rather, her modified intepretation of some random recipe.

But better than nothing, and quite timely if I may say so, as her cookies supplemented me on a barren, breakfast-less morning. An impulsive urge to reach for another bite, and then another, AND another somehow left the container half empty. Whoops. And we were supposed to sample them only, and share the cookies. But of course, sharing's a foreign word to me, not in my dictionary. Muahaha .... ^o^

So, enough babbling. What's the name for the cookies? They HAD to have a name. I insisted. But Min, being indecisive, and humble, let my imaginations run wild. Let's call them ....

MINi Homemade Chocolate Cookies of Love & Affection. Or not. But here's the recipe ;

130g butter (melted)
90g brown sugar
60g granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla essense
1 egg
180g self raising flour
120g bitter chocolate chunk
100g walnut chunk
50g raisin

1. Beat butter and sugar till light and creamy. Add in egg and beat until well-combined.
2. Add in vanilla essense, followed with sifted flour and mix well.
3. Fold in chocolate, walnut chunk and raisin.
4. Place tablespoonfuls of mixture onto a baking paper lined tray.
5. Bake in preheated oven at 180'C for 15 minutes.
6. Leave the cookies to cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the tray.

P/S : No, I'm not drunk. Nor did you stumble upon the wrong blog. This is the Motormouth, posting something entirely different, for the sake of it. Office's freezing cold, (either it's the rain, or the hauntingly chilly aura of the 7th Month in Chinese calendar?) and my grey matter's frozen, at lost of what to do, or say, or whatever ....
