My Tiffin Box

My Tiffin box is a combo of Art, Aroma, Taste, flavor & Love. It’s not just a food box to share, but it’s a way to share feelings with my friends.

Hi!! I’m Alisha and I love to have surprises in my Tiffin box. Mumma knows it well so she often tries to make things that I would love. First of all I would like to tell you that I’m a sweet tooth. So my Tiffin box often contains some sweet dishes like; Pancakes, Pies, Cookies, etc… And today I’m going to share one of my favorite recipe i.e. CHOCOLATE BUTTER COOKIES!

Ingredients:

  • All purpose Flour (Maida) – 3/4 cup
  • Cocoa powder (unsweetened) – 1/4 cup
  • Sugar – 1/2 cup
  • Baking Soda – 1/4 tsp
  • Butter unsalted – 1/4 cup, room temperature
  • Milk – 3 tbsp

Instructions;

Sieve flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Mix and set aside.

Take another deep bowl and add butter, sugar and milk in it.

Whip it till it becomes creamy and light.

Slowly add and mix the flour mixture to this butter mix and mix gently with a spoon or fork till all the ingredients are well combined into dough.

Transfer this dough into a bowl and refrigerate it for at least 1/2 an hour. At this point, you may leave it in the refrigerator for a longer time, till you are ready to bake.

Preheat the oven at 350*F or 180*C and Line a baking tray with parchment or butter paper.

Take the cold dough out. Divide it into equal balls. (As many as you wish)

Take one ball and flatten it gently in your palm. Place on the baking sheet. Finish all the dough balls likewise. Place these flattened balls, a little apart from each other. Because they spread out while baking.

Bake for 10 minutes for soft cookies and 12 minutes for slightly crispier cookies. Do not bake more than that.

Take the tray out of the oven and let the cookies sit there for 15 to 20 minutes and ENJOY THE DELICIOUS COOKIES!!!
