PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE COOKIES





These PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE COOKIES take your cookies to the next level!
Made with brown butter, coffee, chocolate powder, peanut butter, chocolate chunks and chips and studded with chocolate. Its got everything you could ask for. With a texture that is slightly crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside it sure to please any cookie lover.

To make this cookies I am using brown butter. It is a plain butter that has been simmered on the stove top until brown. They are simply amazing with flavour. The nutty aroma is toxicating and add so much of dept in flavour. Simply melt the butter in low heat. Dont rush this process because it can be easily burnt if you aren't careful. Stir the butter frequently and keep a close eye on it.
Once the brown bits at the bottom start to form . Remove from heat and let it cool. Since you are using melted butter, you don't need a mixer for this recipe. Just stir up.

I use Skippy creamy peanut butter for this recipe. Avoid any natural peanut butter where the oil seperates. Any brand works well. 
 
I love to add loads of chocolates chunks and chips in my cookies. I enjoy having variety of texture and flavours to pair with the sweet peanut butter. I'm using bitter sweet chocolate chips and dark chocolate chunks.
As the cookies bake, the chips retain their shape while the chunks turns into oozing luxurious puddles. With that said, feel free to  use any chocolate you want whether dark, milk, white or even a flavored chocolate bar. For me, baking is all about delicious  outcome. Whatever ingredients you choose to get there are up to you.

Coffee powder + chocolate are match made in heaven. They really bring out the best of each other . The coffee deepens the chocolate flavor without overpowering the cookie crumb.
 
There is a a 1 hour chilling period in refrigerator which further improves the flavor and texture. After chilling let your dough to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before rolling into balls . 1 tbsp of dough to make this cookies . Feel free to make the cookies smaller or bigger in size.

Let's get baking!

       BASQUE BURNT CHEESECAKE  It is a no crust cheesecake with a rustic appearance. A soft gooey centre and not overly sweet with a hint of burnt caremal from the burnished top. This cheesecake is truly something to love.  TIPS TO BAKE BASQUE BURNT CHEESE CAKE : Make sure all ingredients are in room temperature. It ensures a smooth mixture. : Time and temperature are the most important parts of this recipe. I'm using a 6-inch cake pan. In my convection oven, I bake it at 200c for 40 minutes. (But time may vary depending on your oven). You should not bake the cake longer then indicated, even if it looks a bit wobbly in the centre. If you leave in the oven too long it will result a curdle cheesecake texture. Even though you want the cake to look dark, you don't want it to burn. If it gets too dark fast while baking, cover with aluminum foil. Should you find that your cake is almost close to baking but hasn't taken on the colour you like. What you can do is turn on the grill

Go with what you like. - This is a simplified recipe adapted for home use and is made without using a tandoor oven. I'm using regular non stick pan over high heat to sear the chicken.

How To Make Sushi Rolls Hi guys!! For todays recipe I'll be showing you hot to make sushi rolls. Sushi is a traditional Japanese dish made with dried seaweed and cooked rice rolled with your selections of fillings. My daughter's favourite dish is sushi. Recently she's been bugging me almost every day to make sushi. At first this task was quite daunting to me. I had seen the chefs at the Japanese restaurants make sushi when we went out for dinner . It seemed so complicated and precise. How was I supposed to replicate that? So I did a little research and to my immense relief .. you dont need much to make sushi. Sure you need a few essentials like a bamboo mat and seaweed but the fillings are customisable leaving you with an endless array of options. It's also a great activity to do with your kids! Since it's the quarantine period I was a little worried on where I was going to get my ingredients. Lucky for me almost everything I needed was available online. So my daugh
