Hi!
I'm finally back from my break,
time to wipe the dust off my neglected blog!
Here's a short summary of what I did during my break:
- CNY visiting
- Play with my fur babies at home
- Sleep
- Rekindled my love for baking
- Watch at least 5 hours of HK drama every day
- Sleep more
Which explains why I did not update my blog.
Hahaha.
Now that I'm back,
I thought I should share some of my bakes during my week long holiday!
Wanted to blog about my CNY this year but since Valentine's Day is just around the corner,
I thought these recipes (with step-by-step photos!) would come in handy for some of you.
;)
Something chocolate-y for today,
then strawberries for tomorrow!
How to Make :
Double Chocolate Butterscotch Cookies
Cream butter and sugar using an electric mixer and beat till light and fluffy
Add an egg into the mixture and beat till well incorporated.
Time for some vanilla extract to enhance the flavour of the cookies!
Weigh cocoa powder and flour according to recipe.
Sift dry ingredients together.
Mix big spoonfuls of sifted dry ingredients into the butter/egg/sugar mixture till it's well combined.
Weigh the semi sweet chocolate chips and butterscotch chips!
Mix the chips into the dough mixture and stir it till well combined!
Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto baking tray.
You can press a few butterscotch chips on top of the dough if you want the chips to be more visible after baking.
*Be sure to leave sufficient space else your cookies will stick together as they expand quite a bit during baking.
After 9-11 minutes of baking,
super chocolate-y and decadent cookies are yours for gobbling!
WHOOPEE!
If your special someone loves anything chocolate,
this is one recipe you need to make for him.

Gently add chocolate chips and butterscotch chips into the mixture.
Scoop the dough by spoon and drop onto baking sheet. Dot the top of each cookie with additional butterscotch chips if you want them to show up on the cookie after baking.
Bake for 9-11 minutes depending on your oven,
till cookies are barely done but soft and chewy.
Let cool on a wire rack.
And you're done!
A really simple and absolutely fool proof recipe if you're looking to bake something for this Valentine's Day!
Most of the ingredients can be easily found in any NTUC/Phoon Huat/baking supplies shop.
I bought the butterscotch chips from Cold Storage but they were quite costly.
Would definitely try this recipe out again in future,
but maybe with white chocolate chips instead!

Sharing another recipe tomorrow so remember to come back!
