Delightfully Fluffy Chocolate Chip Cookies!

Fluffy Cookies Granola Girl Bakes 3

Some like them crispy, some like them soft, I like them fluffy! ๐Ÿ™‚ Chocolate Chip Cookies have never been my specialty and considering I don’t use crisco/shortening to keep things a bit more healthy when baking it makes perfecting a cookie all the harder. I usually mix up a batch, carefully scoop the dough on the tray with high hopes of a fluffy outcome, put them in the oven, then 10 minutes later they have run all over the tray and the smoke alarm is making it’s delightful noise! ๐Ÿ˜‰ But, I finally found a recipe that turns out fluffy and soft EVERY TIME! The creator boasts that this recipe creates the “puffiest” cookie and, though they aren’t the fluffiest I have seen, they definitely hit the “fluffy cookie” spot for me. ๐Ÿ™‚ So, what makes this recipe different than others? Chilled butter & baking powder! Most Chocolate Chip Cookie recipes just have baking soda and call for “softened” butter. These simple modifications definitely did the trick! ๐Ÿ™‚ How about you? Do you prefer them crispy or soft?

Original recipe from bunsinmyoven.com with a few modifications from me!

Yields 12 large cookies

Ingredients:

  • 1 stickย cold butter, cut into small cubes
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 1 large egg, cold
  • 1 TBS vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups flour
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 heapingย tsp salt
  • 1 heaping cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and place parchment on large baking sheet.
  2. Beat the cold butter and sugar until barely combined (not creamed, not fluffy, not runny- still very cold)ย Then beat inย the egg and vanilla until combined.
  3. In a separate, medium-sized bowl, mix together the dry ingredients, then add them in 2 batches to the wet dough. Once mixed together, add in the chocolate chips, and be liberal with them! You only make puffy chocolate cookies for the first time once ๐Ÿ™‚
  4. Using an ice cream scooper, scoop out the cookie dough onto your baking. Bake your cookiesย for 11-13 minutes or until the outsides are lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes or as long as your willpower holds.
  5. Then devour!

Swiss Miss Cupcakes

cupcake

I have often day-dreamed about opening a coffee & cupcake shop! But until then I will just have fun filling my Saturday afternoons with cupcake baking. (; My sweet Washington friend was married today but due to distance and work we sadly couldn’t attend the wedding so we celebrated with cupcakes! Plus, I like to make the kids “valentine’s treats” a bit early. I thought perhaps I would make Vanilla Cupcakes but then I had an idea pop into my head. Swiss Miss Cupcake! ๐Ÿ™‚ I used to love swiss miss rolls way back but haven’t had one for years and the combination as a cupcake sounded too good to be true! So, a delightful combination of rich chocolate cake, cream filling, a thin layer of chocolate ganache, and finish of this combination with a cream cheese frosting! I know, y’all are thinking “wowza, that’s too rich!” Well, you will just have to give them a try and see for yourself!

Nathanael’s famous Ice Cream Sandwiches

One of the 10,564,245 blessings of having so many siblings is there is always somebody to bake when your in need of a sweet treat! ๐Ÿ˜‰ I have a sweet tooth. Okay, it’s a HUGE sweet tooth! When Nathanael{age 10} said he wanted to make Chocolate Chip Ice cream Sandwiches I doubted whether he would really follow through and make them. He planned and searched allrecipes for the “perfect” chocolate chip cookie recipe and I still doubted. He double & triple checked our ice cream supply{yep, I was still a little doubtful}, he patiently waited for Friday to come and then he conquered! Needless to say, Iย  was shocked. ๐Ÿ˜‰ And a little more than slightly surprised by how exquisite these cookies looked. But proof is in the bite, right? Well, they tasted even better than they looked! Bravo Nathanael! ๐Ÿ™‚ So, today’s recipe is brought to y’all by Nathanael. I think he is a keeper! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Molten Lava Cakes

Molten Lava Cakes By GranolaGirlBakes.com

Okay, so our “no-gluten, no-dairy, no-sugar” diet hasn’t been going to great lately. Obviously! ๐Ÿ™‚ Molten Lava Cakes…. they are healthy…. really they are! Chocolate is full of antioxidants and I hear it is a belly flattener. ๐Ÿ˜€

Okay, so these are dangerously delicious and really quick to prepare. A chocolate cake that has a slightly gooey center. Serve hot with ice-cream and you have the world’s best and quickest desert! I usually have to make 14 little cakes to satisfy my family but I have revised the recipe to make 6 generous Lava Cakes. (:

Original Recipe Yield 6 cakes

Ingredients

  • unsweetened baking cocoa
  • 6 oz semi-sweet (or dark) chocolate chips

  • 3 whole eggs
  • 3 egg yokes
  • 1 1/2 cup powder sugar
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1tsp vanilla
  • dash salt

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 450ยฐ F. Grease bottoms and sides of 6 (6oz) custard cups or mason jars with butter. Dust with cocoa powder. In a sauce pan, melt butter and chocolate chips. Allow to cool slightly.
  2. In large bowl, beat whole eggs and egg yolks with wire whisk or eggbeater until well blended. Beat in 1 1/2 cup powder sugar. Beat in melted chocolate mixture, flour, salt, and vanilla. Divide batter evenly between cups. I find an icecream scoop works wonderfully for this!
