Chocolate Chip Cookies with cracks

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make chocolate chip cookies? Prepare the products. Pre-sift the flour and cocoa, this will rid them of lumps and give the baking extra pomp and airiness. I took cane sugar, instead of vanilla sugar, vanilla. Remove the butter from the refrigerator in advance, it should become soft. Also take out the eggs in advance and warm them. They didn't get into the photo because they were basking in warm water.

2. Step 2:

   

   Put butter, sugar and salt in a bowl. Using a spatula or spoon, mix them until smooth. You can use a mixer, but I decided to do it manually, with a silicone spatula. I did it perfectly.

3. Step 3:

   

   Add cocoa to the butter mixture and mix again. Now it will be more difficult to stir, the mixture is quite dry, but the spatula still coped.

4. Step 4:

   

   Add eggs. And stir again. At first it will seem that they will never mix with the main mass, but gradually the process will go on. I repeat that you can take a mixer.

5. Step 5:

   

   The eggs should be completely mixed with the dough, it will become smooth and homogeneous.

7. Step 6:

   

   Pour baking powder into the flour, stir. Start adding flour in parts. I divided the process into three stages. After each serving, mix the flour thoroughly. The dough is ready. Put it in the freezer for 1 hour. It is in the freezer, it should harden quickly. The dough will not have time to freeze in the stone, do not be afraid.

8. Step 7:

   

   After a while, remove the dough from the freezer. Use a measuring spoon to collect the same amount of dough and mold it into balls the size of a walnut. That's why we needed to cool the dough — it's easier to roll balls from frozen dough. Roll the balls in powdered sugar.

9. Step 8:

   

   Cover the baking sheet with baking parchment. Put the balls on it, be sure to make a distance between them. Cookies during baking will increase significantly in size.

10. Step 9:

    

    Bake the cookies for 15 minutes at 180 degrees. Cookies will spread out in front of your eyes and will be covered with cracks, which will be clearly visible because of the powdered sugar. A very interesting process! Remove the finished cookies from the oven and be sure to let them cool completely. Cookies are very soft and tender, they can break if they are removed hot. The cooled cookies are easily removed from the paper. Serve the cookies to the table. Bon appetit!
