Who doesn't like to grab a cookie or a biscuit when in a hurry and for those instant sweet cravings. This cookie has the perfect combination of softness and crunchiness. The dark chocolate chunks provide the softness to the cookies & the cornflakes adds to the crunchiness. So bake it and enjoy the feeling of having a freshly baked cookie along with your cup of coffee or tea.
INGREDIENTS
3/4 cup (180gms) Butter
3/4 cup (135gms) Brown sugar
1/4 cup (50gms) Castor sugar or regular grain sugar
1 tea spoon Baking soda
1 tea spoon Vanilla essence
200gms Dark Chocolate (chopped into small pieces)
1/2 cup Cornflakes (crushed lightly with hand)
2 table spoons Boiling Water
METHOD
1. Take butter, brown sugar and castor sugar in a bowl and whisk it nicely.
2. Add boiling water to the baking soda and pour it into the butter and sugar mixture.
3. Add the vanilla essence.
4. Start mixing the flour lightly in batches.
5. Add the chopped chocolate and cornflakes.
6. Refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes.
7. Preheat the oven at 150 degrees.
8. Grease a baking tray or line it with parchment paper.
9. Make small balls, flatten them a little and place them on the baking tray leaving a little gap between them.
10. Bake them for 25 minutes at 150 degrees.
11. Let them cool down on the baking tray and then serve.
NOTES
1. I have used regular salted butter here. You can even use unsalted butter in the same quantity, if it is easily available.
2.Leave gap between the cookies, while placing them on the baking tray as they will expand while baking.
3. The cookies on the tray should be of the same size or else the baking time for them will differ. If they are of different sizes the smaller ones might get burnt and the larger ones might remain uncooked.
4. To check the cookies if they are done, always check the bottom of the cookies. The top might look undone but if the bottom has browned nicely, switch off the oven.
5. The cookies might appear soft initially but once they cool down they will turn crisp.
6. Always let the cookies cool down completely on the baking tray.
7. The dough can be made one or two days in advance and kept in the refrigerator.
