I don’t know what to say about these cookies other than the fact that they are, without
exaggeration, the most delicious cookies I ever ate. I can’t tell you how many I ate right after I
took them out of the oven, but I can tell you this: out of two trays and 6 cookies offered to
someone else, there were only three more left for breakfast the second day.
Ingredients

 300 grams of plain flour

 200 grams of unsalted butter
 200 grams of caster sugar
 150 grams of dark chocolate
 2 large eggs
 Half a bag of baking powder
 1 vanilla pod (just the seeds)
 A pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Cream together the soft butter (room temperature), the sugar, the vanilla seeds, the salt and
the eggs until you get a fluffy consistency.
2. Mix together the flour and the baking powder, sift it then gradually add it to the butter
cream.
3. Cut the chocolate into small pieces (not very small) and add them to the cookie dough. Stir
in the chocolate pieces with a wooden spoon.
4. Preheat the oven at 175°C. While the oven is heating, put the dough in the fridge. After the
oven has reached the right temperature, take the dough out (you will notice that it is soft),
moisten your palms with water and form small balls, the size of a whole walnut.
5. Set the cookie balls on the tray, lined with baking paper. Make sure you place them 4-5 cm
apart.
6. Bake the cookies on the third rack in a traditional oven, for 15 minutes or until the edges
are lightly golden.
7. The surface of the biscuits must not be toasted at all.
8. When you notice that the edges start to become brown, take the tray out of the oven and
leave it on the kitchen counter for 2-3 minutes, without touching the cookies.
9. After 2-3 minutes, the cookies start to become firm, so you may take them out, gently, and
transfer them to a wire rack to cool down completely.
10. Enjoy them because they are very delicious!
 Biscuiti cu ciocolata americani – Chocolate chip cookies
Ingrediente – Biscuiti cu ciocolata (cca 20 biscuiti)

 300 g faina
 200 g unt
 200 g zahar
 150 g ciocolata neagra
 2 oua mari
 1/2 plic praf copt
 sare (un varf de cutit)
 1 baton vanilie (doar semintele)

Mod de preparare – Biscuiti cu ciocolata

 Mixam untul la temperatura camerei cu zaharul, semintele de vanilie, sarea si ouale pana
obtinem o crema fina.
 Amestecam faina cu praful de copt, o cernem si apoi o adaugam treptat cremei de unt.
 Taiem ciocolata in bucatele potrivite (nu foarte mici) si le adaugam in aluat. Inglobam
bucatelele de ciocolata in aluat cu ajutorul unei linguri de lemn.

 Preincalzim cuptorul la 175°C. Cat timp se incalzeste cuptorul, bagam aluatul in frigider.
 Dupa ce cuptorul s-a incalzit, scoatem aluatul din frigider (veti observa ca este moale) si
formam cu mainile usor umede, bilute de aluat, mari cat o nuca.
 Asezam bilutele la distanta de 4-5 cm una de cealalta in tava de cuptor tapetata cu hartie de
copt.
 Coacem biscuitii pe treapta a treia de jos in sus, functie traditionala, pentru 15 minute sau
pana cand incep sa prinda culoare pe margini.
 Suprafata biscuitilor trebuie sa nu se bronzeze absolut deloc.
 Cand observam ca marginile isi schimba discret culoarea, scoatem tava din cuptor si o
lasam pe masa din bucatarie pentru 2-3 minute, fara sa atingem cu nimic biscuitii.
 Dupa 2-3 minute, biscuitii incep sa se intareasca asa ca ii scoatem cu grija si ii asezam pe
un gratar unde ii lasam sa se raceasca.
 Ii servim cu mare pofta pentru ca sunt pur si simplu deliciosi. Pofta buna!
