Hazelnuts Chocolate Chips Cookies 榛子巧克力饼干



This is a Famous Amos alike cookie recipe, the texture of crunchiness is exactly the same, but for sure the taste will be slightly different due to their secret recipe. =) I'm so glad that I can make the cookies that are very similar with the famous one.



Here is the recipe...

Ingredients:
120g      Butter, softened in room temperature
30g      Shortening
150g      Brown Sugar
50g      Castor Sugar
1/4 tsp      Salt
1      Egg
1/2 tsp      Vanilla Extract
220g      All Purpose Flour (Plain Flour)
1/2 tsp      Baking Soda
1/2 tsp      Baking Powder
1 1/2 cups      Chocolate Chips
1 cup      Hazelnuts

材料:
120克      牛油,室温软化
30克      起酥油
150克      红糖/黄砂糖
50克      细砂糖
1/4 小匙      盐
1颗      蛋
1/2 小匙      香草精
220克      普通面粉
1/2 小匙      苏打粉
1/2 小匙      发酵粉
1 1/2 杯      巧克力粒
1 杯      榛子

Methods:
1. Preheat oven to 180˚C / 350˚F.
2. In a baking pan, toast the hazelnuts in one layer in middle of oven about 10 minutes.
3. When the hazelnuts are cooled enough to handle, rub them between a clean kitchen towel to remove loose skin. Don't worry about skins that don't come off.
4. Transfer the skinned hazelnuts into a food processor chopper, roughly chop the nuts by pulsing the machine several times. Do not grind it. Set aside.
5. In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and shortening together, add in brown sugar, castor sugar and salt and continue to cream them until all well combined.
6. Add the egg and beat them together.
7. Sift the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Add them to the batter and mix just to combine.
8. Add the chocolate chips and chopped hazelnuts and mix just to distribute them through the batter.
9. Reduce the oven temperature to 170˚C / 325˚F and continue to preheat the oven while lining the baking sheets.
10. Using 2 spoons or a small ice cream scoop, drop the cookie dough onto the baking sheet, about 2 inches apart from each other.
11. Bake them for 10 to 15 minutes until cooked.
12. Let it cool completely on baking tray.

做法:
1. 预热烤箱至180˚C / 350˚F。
2. 将榛子铺平在烤盘上,送入烤箱的中层段烘烤约10分钟。
3. 当榛子降温后,将它们放在一块干净的厨房抹布上,然后搓揉至表皮松脱。不用担心一些皮不脱落。
4. 将去皮后的榛子放入食物处理机内,大致随意将榛子切颗粒。不要磨碎。备用。
5. 在一个大碗中,将牛油和起酥油搅拌在一起,加入红糖,白砂糖和盐,继续搅拌至完全结合。
6. 加入鸡蛋继续搅拌均匀。
7. 将面粉,苏打粉及发酵粉过筛,然后加入面糊中混合在一起。
8. 加入巧克力粒和切碎后的榛子,混合均匀至刚刚好。
9. 当准备烘焙纸的同时,降低烤箱温度至170˚C / 325˚F 继续预热。
10. 用两个小汤匙或一个小冰淇淋勺,将饼干面团分放在烘焙纸上,分开每个大约2英寸的距离。
11. 送进预热烤箱中烘烤约10至15分钟,至完全熟透。
12. 送出烤箱后让它完全冷却在烤盘中。

Chocolate-Chips & Nuts Cookie


Recently I'm so fancy about cookie, something like Famous Amos, the strong flavor and the crunchiness.
Oh! It is just so gorgeous!
I want to make something similar with FA.
So I came out my own version of the FA chocolate-chips and nuts cookie.
The taste is really good, and I can't stop myself to eat it.
I'm kind of proud of myself can bake such a great cookie. =D

Here is the recipe, and lets start bake it......

Ingredients:
230g All-Purpose Flour
2 tbsp Good Quality Cocoa Powder
1 tsp Cinnamon Powder
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
3/4 tsp Baking Powder
1 Large Egg
1/2 tbsp Vanilla Extract
Pinch of Salt
145g Salted Butter, cubed
130g Dark Brown Sugar
100g Castor Sugar
1 cup Bittersweet Chocolate Chips
1/2 cup Nuts (Walnuts/Hazelnuts/Almond/Chestnuts), chopped

Method:
1. Preheat oven to 350°f / 180°c, and line a baking sheet with a parchment paper.

2.In a medium bowl, mix up flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon powder, baking soda, and baking powder, shift together. Set aside.

3. Place egg, vanilla and salt in another bowl, beat until the egg are uniform color and can't see any more whites in the mixture. Set aside.

4. Place the cubed butter and sugars in a mixing bowl, mix them on medium speed until fluffy and light, about 3 to 4 minutes.
 

 5. Add egg mixture and beat to incorporate.

6. Add half of the dry ingredients to the batter and mix on low speed to incorporate, and then add the rest of the flour mixture until well combined. (I'm using dough hook, but I think the balloon whisk will work better)

7.Add the chocolate chips and chopped nuts, stir it to distribute evenly throughout the dough.

8. Spoon a small ball of the dough on the prepared baking sheet, keep some gap between each of it.

9. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until the edge of the cookie are dry but the cookie is still soft. Do not over bake. Leave on the sheets for about 10 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool.

 *Tips*
You can store the dough in the fridge for at least 36 hours, or up to 3 or 4 days. The longer you store, the more time for the flour to hydrate and the cookies to develop a richer deeper caramel taste.
