Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies

By
These eggless peanut butter chocolate cookies are the best thing to happen in my kitchen for a while now. They’re so delicious and easy to bake. The cookie dough comes together in no time.



The recipe calls for dark cocoa powder and for this I have used Indian Natives Absolute Dark Cocoa Powder. This Cocoa is grown in the farmlands located in the river banks of Anaimalai, Tamil Nadu. The farm is 100% pesticide free and organic and managed in a sustainable way.


These cookies are chewy, easy to make, delicious, chocolaty, crisp on the edges, and most certainly addictive!


The only patience-testing part of making these eggless peanut butter cookies is the resting period. I rested my dough in the for 30 mins. Don’t skip this step otherwise the cookies will spread too much in the oven.


Ingredients:
75 gms butter, room temperature,
50 gms caster sugar​​,
50 gms brown sugar,​​
65 gms peanut butter,
35 gms fresh cream,
3 gms vanilla,
3 gms salt,
1.5 gms baking soda,
80 gms flour,
30 gms cocoa powder,
80 gms dark chocolate,


Method:

  1. Cream the butter, sugars, and peanut butter together till light and fluffy.
  2. Add the fresh cream and vanilla and mix until smooth.
  3. Add in the dry ingredients and the chopped chocolate and combine well to get nice cookie dough.
  4. Portion the dough into 40g portions and roll into balls.
  5. Place on a tray with silicon mat or parchment paper.
  6. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Bake at 170C for 14 to 16 minutes.

Note:
  • Use the exact ingredients as per the list in the exact proportions.
  • Keeping the dough in the fridge is an important step that shouldnt be missed. This will ensure you get a good thick cookie instead of a flat one.
  • Use a weighing scale to measure the ingredients.
  • Don't compromise on the quality of peanut butter, cocoa or dark chocolate AT ALL.

Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix Recipe!!!

By
As the leaves start to change color and cheery pumpkins show up on doorsteps, summer seems like a distant memory and we're smack-dab in the middle of fall. And while pumpkin spice-flavored treats make their appearance just about, well, everywhere, do you even know what it contains? Here's what it is and why you should make it at home. (Hint: It's as easy as it gets!) Guess What? There's No Pumpkin in Pumpkin Spice! For years, I thought pumpkin pie spice actually had pumpkin in it. Silly me. How on earth would you get pumpkin in there? Dehydrate and powder it? In any case, pumpkin pie spice is simply a blend of the traditional spices that go into a good ol' fashioned pumpkin pie. What's in Pumpkin Pie Spice? If you go the store-bought route, pumpkin pie spice blends can vary by manufacturer, but typically contain the more sweet-smelling spices, like cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and ginger. Allspice and mace are also common ingredients. Why Should ...

Low Calorie No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake

By
As the post title suggests, Low Calorie No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake, you must be wondering, if there is chocolate and its a cheesecake, how could it be low calorie - well, its not really low calorie, but it would be definitely lower than an actual "cheesecake" :) This cheesecake is a fast track recipe which can be thrown in within a few minutes. I don't follow the classic baked cheesecake method. I've tried earlier and failed. But later I came across the no-bake cheesecake recipe and that became the base for all kinds of cheesecakes that I have prepared earlier. Coming to the ingredients, I don't use cream cheese which is the base for any cheesecake, because, firstly, its very high in calories and secondly its very not easily available here. So see we saved some calories there, with a little price paid on the taste. However, I can bet most people won't be able to make out the difference whether there is cream cheese or something else. I'm preparing...
