My
Homemade Cookies: A Delightful Treat! One of my favourite things to do is to bake cookies. There's just something so comforting about the scent of freshly baked treats that fills the air of my kitchen. Recently, I decided to experiment with a new recipe, and I am excited to share it with you all. With no further ado, let me introduce you to my "Cocoa Crunch" cookies. These cookies are the perfect combination of chewy and crispy, with the cocoa powder lending a rich, chocolatey flavour. I based my recipe on a traditional chocolate chip cookie, adding some unsweetened cocoa powder and a generous amount of crushed cornflakes for added texture. Oh, and did I mention they are also gluten-free? Yes, that's right, you can indulge in these cookies without the guilt or fear of having gluten intolerance symptoms. The first step in making these cookies is to preheat the oven to 350 Fahrenheit. While the oven heats, I mix brown sugar, white sugar, soft unsalted butter, and eggs in a large mixing bowl. I whisk vigorously until everything is fully combined and frothy. Then, I add in some gluten-free oats, almond flour, baking powder, salt, and unsweetened cocoa powder. I slowly mix these dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to over mix. Once everything is incorporated, I fold in the crushed cornflakes and chocolate chips. Using an ice cream scoop, I portion the dough onto a lined baking sheet. I flatten them slightly and sprinkle extra crushed cornflakes on top for added crunch. I bake them for around 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centre is slightly soft. And voila! My "Cocoa Crunch" cookies are ready to be devoured. These cookies are not only delicious but also satisfying for those snack cravings between meals. Whether you have a sweet tooth or just love chocolate, you will be sure to enjoy these cookies. Take it from me, they're a real treat!
