Crunchy Chocolate Chips Cookies

CNY just around the corner and this year will be the 1st year i am baking my own CNY treats :) since recently 'hot hot' about baking. :) 

I baked this Crunchy Chocolate Chips cookies as i love Famous Amos Cookies. Indeed the taste of this cookies is good and crunchy like the name of the cookies but still cannot challenge my favorite Famous Amos :( sigh... hmm... but if i put some nuts next time, the taste should be very close. Just need to bear in mind this is home bake and not commercial cookies hehehe.. excuses. :P



Recipe from Cook.Bake.Love :) else i not so clever to create my own recipe :P 
I had change some of the ingredients, so you want you may check out the original recipe ;) 

Ingredients:
(A)
140g unsalted butter (soften at room temp)
55g white sugar (reduce to 50g but still very sweet)
45g brown sugar

(B)
1 egg (room temp, lightly beaten)
1 tsp vanilla extract
 
(C)
180g superfine flour
1 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
(D)
120g (or more) semi-sweet chocolate chips


Method:
1) Cream (A) until the mixture turns pale and fluffy.
2) Add spoonful of (B) egg gradually, mix well after each addition.
3) Sift in (C) and beat at low speed till just incorporated (stop once see no trace of flour). Fold in (D) with a spatula.
4) Drop rounded teaspoon of the cookie dough onto lined baking tray (use 2 small spoons, one for scooping and another one for ‘pushing’ the dough onto the baking tray). Leave some space between the cookies to allow for spreading.
5) Bake in preheated oven at 180C for about 10mins or until cookies turn golden colour, upper rack. Allow cookies to rest in oven for 3 –5 mins before removing.
6) Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely and keep in airtight container.

Note:
1) Cookies may be a bit soft when they are just out from the oven, this is normal, they will harden and become crunchy after a while.
2) You may add some chopped and toasted nuts to the cookie dough if desired.
3) Yield about 90 over pieces.

I think i yield too big pieces because i only got 46 pieces :P all because of no patient. :P but it is OK since i eat myself only ma. :P hahahahaha

If you read this and plan to follow, please be patient and yield smaller pieces hor  ^ ^
