HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!!!!!!

Hi all........please get the background of these cookies from here neiman-marcus-cookies....so, I tried them out and they are awesome!!!!!!!!the only thing I would do the next time is def. reduce the sugar...the kids thoroughly enjoyed the sweetness..I personally felt it needs to go down....I made 1/4th of the orignal recipe and I got about 38 cookies.(I think !..because while I was busy clicking pictures..some cookies from the other tray vanished into thin air!!!!!so my count could be a cookie or two out)

170 gms chocolate chip(i used dark and white)

1 cup flour

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1 1/4 cup oats

1 egg

1/2 tsp vanilla

3/4 cup chopped nuts(I used walnuts)

125 gms dark chocolate ..........grated

METHOD

1.In a bowl,beat the butter,essence and both the sugars with an electric beater..add the egg..beat again.

2.Add the rest of the ingrds.......butter the baking trays,then spoon the mixture at equal intervals(it will spread on baking)......put into a pre heated oven(180 deg C)for 10 mins...let it cool down..then taste...DIVINE!!!!!!!!!!!!

lazycooks eggless triple chocolate cookies

and

Hello all.....I hope you had a great valentines day!.murmuring sweet nothings and enjoying all the sweet goodies!My day was pretty crazy,had to go on a two hour bus journey(one way) to Jammu,stand in ahopelessly long line at the passport office,argue...argue and argue with those people....the silver lining was meeting up with my friend Lucy(hi !Lucy),we had coffee and then she took me to this place where i could pick up choco chips(thanks).anway then a tiring journey back...helped hubby dear get his stuff into a bag and waved bye-bye....he's gone on TD(out of station)...made maggi for the kids and me..thats it.To make up for all of the above..I made these cookies(got to keep the blood sugar levels up).couldn't have asked for a better pick me up!The recipe is the same as lazy-cooks-triple-chocolate-cookies ,but i decided to do away with the egg and add nutella instead.
INGRDS

1.1 cup whole wheat flour(atta)
2.1/2 cup oats
3.100 gms butter
4.1/2 cup brown sugar
5. 3 tablespoons nutella
6. 1 tsp vanilla essence
7.1 tsp baking soda
8.1/4 cup dark and white chocolate chips each.
9. 2 tablespoons of milk
METHOD
1.Beat the butter and sugar,add the vanilla essence and nutella..lick spoon....mmmm.nutella is divine!sorry....beat again...now add the wholewheat flour(you should've sieved the baking soda and flour together),oats and the choco chips.My mixture wasn't coming together..so i added a little milk.

2.Prepare your baking tray..if you have parchment paper..then use that..or else simply butter the tray..then use your hands to make walnut sized balls and put 'em on the tray.
3. Put the cookies into the oven..bake for 12-15 mins...then enjoy a cookie with a cup of coffee,then after your food..then with tea..you get the idea?

4.Though i really loved the cookies..i think the original recipe which has 1 egg in it is a little better....thats just my humble opnion.

lazycooks orange choco pots

Decadent.Divine.Delicious.Dooey(gooey actually..but i wanted the word to start with D.This has been modified from nigella lawson's choco hot pots.Now Nigella is a goddess and her recipe's are great..but we're a slightly" healthy" family...OK..i'm the "healthy" one in my house so i gotto tweak the recipe to suit me.As it is ..truth be told tweaking recipes is a bit of a failing of mine ....I added oats and wholewheat flour..so that i feel good 'bout all the calories going in.The orange marmalade,went in because orange and chocolate is a match made in heaven.

INGRDS
1. 125gms dark chocolate
2. 75 gms butter
2. 3 eggs
4. 2 teaspoons orange marmlade(optional)
5.3/4 cup brown sugar
6. 1 tablespoon each of oats,wholewheat flour anf regular flour
7. 5 ramekins buttered lightly
METHOD
1. Melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler(put one vessel with water to boil,put a smaller vessel on top of it not touching the water..there you have it ..double boiler,bain marie..call it what you want)

2.Beat the sugar and eggs till nice and fluffy,add the marmalade,add the chocolatey goo.....and finally the flour and oats.
3.Pour into the buttered ramekins,put in a preheated oven at 180deg C and bake for 20-25 mins till the top looks done but there is a wobble.Wobble is good ....it hints at the absolute divinity thats going to come your way.
