Eden od mojih novih pekovskih podvigov je bilo pečenje piškotov s čokoladnimi koščki (cookies). Prebrala sem kar nekaj receptov in se na koncu le odločila za enega, ki pa sem ga po prvem poskusu nekoliko priredila, tako da se sedaj ti piškoti odlični! Vsekakor vam izdam tudi recept!
Ti piškoti so bili prvič ustvarjeni v Ameriki (leta 1930), njihova stvaritev pa je bila pravzaprav pomota, ki se je kasneje izkazala za eno najboljših pomot. :) Za ta odličen sladek prigrizek se lahko zahvalimo Ruth Graves Wakefield in njeni premahjni zalogi "slaščičarske" čokolade. Namreč, ko ji je med peko čokoladnih piškotov le te zmanjkalo, se je domislila, da bi čokolado nadomestila s polomljenimi deli ene od navadnih čokolad v upanju, da se bodo koščki čokolade med peko stopili. Vendar se niso in tako je nastal ta odličen piškot, ki je danes najbolj priljubljena oziroma najbolj znana slaščica v ameriških domovih.
Tipične sestavine tega piškota so maslo, kombinacija rjavega in belega sladkorja, moka in koščki čokolade. V nekaterih različicah so tudi razni oreščki ali rozine. Moj recept pa je nekoliko drugačen, saj je zmanjšana količina sladkorja (in še ta je samo rjavi), vendar pa so piškoti še vedno dovolj sladki, verjemite mi.
Recept: Masleni piškoti s čokoladnimi koščki (Chocolate chip cookies)
Sestavine:
230g masla (sobne temperature)
160g rjavega sladkorja
2 jajci
1 žlica vanilijevega ekstrakta
300g pirine moke (lahko tudi navadne)
1 žlička pecilnega praška
1/2 žličke soli
300g čokolade (sesekljane na koščke)
Segrej pečico na 190°C.
Z mešalnikom zmiksaj maslo, do kremastega, dodaj sladkor in miksaj dokler zmes ne postane puhasta (cca 2 minuti). Postopoma dodaj jajci in se prepričaj da sta dobro vmešani v zmes. Dodaj vanilijin ekstrakt.
V drugi skledi zmešaj moko, pecilni prašek in sol. Dodaj k jajčno-masleni zmesi in malo zmiskaj da je vse dobro premešano. Dodaj čokoladne koščke in spet dobro premešaj.
Če je masa preveč mehka jo lahko postavimo v hladilnik (za 30 minut - 2 ur).
Pekač obloži s peki papirjem in nanj naloži maso za piškote. Lahko si pomagate z žlico za sladoled, ali pa z navadno žlico. Paziti je potrebno da je med vsakim piškotom dovolj prostora, saj se zelo razlezejo.
Peci na 190°C 10-14 minut oziroma dokler niso robovi zlato rjavi.
Dodatno pojasnilo:
Če si pri nadevanju mase na pekač pomagamo s sladoledno zajemalko (sladoledno žlico), bodo piškoti približno enako veliki in debeli, ter nam tako ne bo treba skrbeti, da bodo nekateri manj zapečeni kot drugi.
Prijetno sladkanje!
One of mine baking challenges was making the famous chocolate chip cookies. I've reed a tone of different recipes and finally decided which one to try. And after the first trial I made some adjustments and so this is kind of one of my own recipes. And the results are delicious! I will reveal my recipe to all of you!
About the cookie. A bet a lot of you didn't know that this cookie was accidentally developed in America (in 1930). The one that we could thank for this delicious mistake is Ruth Graves Wakefield. The story goes that one day, while she was making chocolate cookies, she ran out of baker's chocolate and she thought she could substitute it with chunks of regular chocolate. But the chocolate chunks didn't melt and so the chocolate chip cookie was created. And nowadays this is the favorite dessert in American homes.
The typical ingredients for chocolate chip cookie is butter, brown and white sugar, flour and chunks of chocolate. Some even add raisins or nuts. But my recipe is a bit different from the original because I reduce the amount of sugar and I only used brown one. But believe me the cookie is still sweet enough.
Chocolate chip cookie recipe
Ingredients:
230g butter(room temperature)
160g brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
300g millet flour (or use regular white flour)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 žteaspoonsalt
300gchocolate chunks
Preheat your oven to 190°C.
With stand or hand mixer mix the butter till creamy smooth, add sugar and mix for another 2 minutes or until fluffy. Gradually add eggs and make sure they are incorporated completely. Add vanilla extract.
In another bowl mix flour, baking powder and salt. Add it to the egg-butter mixture and mix it altogether. Add chocolate chunks and mix again.
If the batter is to soft you can put it in the freezer for 30 minutes up to 2 hours.
Put some parchment paper on baking sheets and drop some cookie batter on it. Use tablespoon or even better use ice cream scoop. Note that you need to leave enough room between the dough because it spreads during baking.
Bake it on 190°C for 10-14 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges.
Note:
If you'll use ice cream scoop for dropping the batter on the baking sheets, the cookies will be the same size which will help you with baking time. Time of baking varies depending on the size of a cookie, so if your cookies are different sizes you'll find some cookies burned when others may still need a few minutes.
Enjoj them! :)
