Chocolate Treasure




This year raya I have baked new cookies ( for me...not in the market though..) to include together in this year hamper raya. I found it very chocolaty as from the base cookies to the topping are rich in chocolate; dark and white chocolate. As usual I like to make cookies which is simple but tasty and most importantly my kids love it. Here I would like to share with all this great cookies and recommended to all chocolate lovers.

CHOCOLATE TREASURE

Method :

1. Sift all the dry ingredients. Set aside.
2. Cream butter and sugar.
3. Add in the dry ingredients and mix well to form a soft dough.
4. Roll into small balls and place in the papercups. (You don't have to use petitin)

50 g almond nibs
50 g golden raisins/blackcurrents

Cooking chocolate; white and dark chocolate

Method :

1. Melt the white cooking chocolate using a double boiler method. Melt a bit at a time to prevent it from hardening.
2. When melted, let it luke warm before pour in the cornflakes, almond nibs and raisins/blackcurrents ( I omit raisins as my kids dislike it). Mix well to make sure all the ingredients are coated with the cooking chocolate.
3. Spoon a bit of the mixture onto the baked base.
4. Melt dark cooking chocolate using a double boiler method, and place it in a piping bag. Drizzle on top of the cookies for decoration.
