Since I seem to be on a bit of a cookie trend, let's continue with Chocolate Chip. Who doesn't love chocolate chip cookies?! Warm. Right out of the oven. Maybe a little scoop of ice cream on top. I'm getting hungry... This week's recipe is cake version of of the classic cookie, and it is delicious. The recipe calls for semi-sweet chocolate chips, which worked, but I think next time I would use milk chocolate. I think it would provide a little more of that melt-in-your-mouth goodness, but I'll leave it to you to decide. Now, this recipe is not for those who have issues with directions. There are a few cups + tablespoon measurements and save this for late kind of thing. So, read read read before you start.
First up- the cast:
Note the special cast member- October is breast cancer awareness month after all. More on this next week.
The flour. And um... I didn't exactly read the directions... so note the extra tablespoon there on top. It was supposed to come in later, but oops :)
What happens when you mix milk and vanilla?
This!
Another reason this recipe was a pain... what I am supposed to do with this leftover butter?
Butter and sugar
Ahh light and fluffy. This part always looks so delicious to me. Call me weird, but it does!
Now let's add the dry stuff
And a little milk. Whip it up. And this is what you get.
If you are like me and love to eat a little chocolate chip cookie dough, but maybe aren't a fan of the whole raw eggs part, I have found a cure! Make the batter up until this part- we haven't added any eggs yet- and just add the chocolate chips. Stir. Eat! Yum!
Okay back to the cupcakes.
Now for some egg whites. I wish I had something to use the egg yolks for, but I didn't.
Just mix up the egg whites until they have nice stiff peaks.
Like this!
Now fold in 1/3 of them
And gently fold in until nice and mixed. Add the rest and keep folding.
Until it looks like this :)
Now for the good part. Calling all chocolate chips! Get in my batter!
All mixed and ready for the oven.
20 minutes later, you get this.
Oh hey cupcake! You're looking good!
Cupcakes cupcakes every where
Now, tonight, and this week for that matter, is a little crazy. So for this week's cupcake, I let Betty take care of the frosting.
Shhhh- don't tell Martha.
A glass of milk is definitely required.
Oh look at that chocolately goodness!
Okay, like I said, tonight and the week are crazy, so look back for the recipe tomorrow :)
