Yin Yang Cookies (Peanut Butter & Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies)

After an exhausting day cooking, the kids sweetly asked me when am I baking them cookies.... ?! Oh my.... Just when I'm about to call it quits and enjoy my cup of tea while watching AFC.. Sigggh

And they want Yin Yang cookies no less!!  I'll be honest, I'm not a cookie person unless its Famous Amos.. But the kids love that they get both of their favourite flavours in one bite after dunking it in milk.. So here goes ...

Chocolate Chip Dough

1/4 cup butter (58g)

1/4 cup brown sugar 

1/4 cup sugar 

1/2 tsp vanilla essence 

1/2 egg

1/4 cup cocoa powder

1/4 tsp bicarbonate soda 

1/2 cup flour 

1/4 tsp salt

1 tablespoon milk

1/2 cup chocolate chips 

Peanut Butter Dough

1/4 cup butter (58g)

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/8 cup sugar

1/2 egg

1/2 tsp vanilla essence 

1/3 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup flour

1/2 tsp bicarbonate soda

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup chocolate chips

Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, add egg, vanilla and then the dry ingredients. Just like how you would do for any cookie. Same method. Chill the dough for about half an hour in the fridge so that it's firmer to roll into balls.

Take each ball of peanut & dark choc chip and roll them into 1 bigger ball. Flatten the dough slightly on a greaseproof paper and sprinkle more chocolate chips on top. 

Bake for 25 minutes on 180 degrees. Cool these cookies and dunk them in cold milk! 

Chouquettes

Don't you just adore these simple tea time treats? I do.. Very simple to make, easy on the pockets. The only thing that might be hard to find are the pearl sugar to sprinkle on top. 

Basically all you need to add all the ingredients except the flour & eggs in the pot and heat on low.

1 cup water

90g butter (unsalted)

1/2 tsp salt

2 tsp sugar

1 cup flour

Once the butter is melted, add the flour and stir until well combined and the dough stops sticking to the pot and into a ball. Turn off heat only when the dough is cooked.

4 eggs 

Cool the mixture slightly and stir in the eggs one by one.

 The mixture will be a nice texture for piping. Use a cloth piping bag or ice cream scoop and pipe into circle balls the size of golf balls.

1 yolk + 1 tablespoon milk 

Brush with egg wash and sprinkle pearl sugar on top. Sprinkle generously !! 

Pre-heat your oven. Let it bake for 25 -30 minutes at 200 degrees Celsius or until golden brown. Do not tempt to open your oven door while it bakes!! 

Sticky Chicken Wings

Don't you just love chicken wings ?? I do!! The kids usually favour my usual black pepper wings but today I'm the One craving for sticky wings!

Mix all the ingredients In a bowl and mix the wings In. Bake on 180 degrees for 30 minutes until golden and gooey! 

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup brown sugar 

1/4 cup oyster sauce 

1/4 cup tomato ketchup

1 tablespon chilli sauce or sriracha

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon fish sauce

1/2kg chicken wings or until you run out slathering a thick coat over your chicken!
