Truly happy with this batch of chocolate chips with pecans cookies!!!! (more accurately, mummy is rather happy with the recipe*) Until now (5 hours after baking was done) the smell is still surrounding the kitchen!

| For the very first time, mummy practiced rubbing-in-method. Not sure, is this the reason that contributes to the success?! |
 |
| Unlike other cookies dough, the dough is actually quite soft & moist. Mummy even thought that this would be a "gone case" ;p |
Ingredients:(A)
- 250g Cold butter (cut into small cubes)
- ½ cup Brown sugar
- 2½ cups Plain flour*
- 1 tsp Baking soda*
- ½ tsp Baking powder*
- ½ tsp Salt
* Can be replaced by self-raising flour
(B)
- 1 Beaten egg (about 55g with shell, a Grade B egg)
- 50g Melted chocolate (set aside to cool) [Lindht dark choc. was used here]
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
(C)
- 150-200g Chocolate chips
Any nuts of your preference [pecans were used here]
Method:1) Use fingertips to rub (A) till lumpy;
2) Add (B) to (A) mixture to form a dough (do not knead);
3) Add (C);
4) Drop the cookie dough onto lined baking tray. Leave some space between the cookies to allow for spreading.
5) Bake in preheated oven at 150C for about 12mins or until cookies turn light brown. **
6) Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely and keep in airtight container.
**Adjust according to your oven temperature because every oven functions differently.
The oven at {ma-masak} kitchen is quite "cool", normally takes longer to complete a mission. Mummy baked for about 15 mins.
