I love simple recipes,recipes that take minimum time and are nearly foolproof to be embraced by the beginners at baking as well as experts who find it hassle free. I had a coffee morning at my place last week for a bunch of lovely ladies and since there were lot of things on the menu (you will find a picture of the spread too incase you are curious;), I wanted a simple non-chocolatey cookie but also not just a plain cookie. These cookies were made in real quick time and while they were baking, the caramel was made. I garnished it with sea salt which is quite different and salty and relatively expensive than normal table salt. The kick it adds to really sweet things is unmatched. I am loving this new ingredient and trying it with different recipes. Will post you more about this but for now a recipe of cookie that needs no rolling, cutters or cookie pressers.

For Cookies
  1. Unsalted butter 2/3 cup
  2. Castor sugar 1/2 cup
  3. Egg 1
  4. Vanilla 1 tsp
  5. All-purpose flour 1 1/2 cup
For Caramel
  1. Brown sugar* 1/3 cup
  2. Butter 1/4 cup
  3. Whipping cream 2 tbsp
  4. Sea salt a few pinches
  5. * I used dark brown sugar hence the color, you could use light brown as well
Instructions
  1. To make cookies, beat butter, sugar, egg and vanilla in a bowl until creamy.
  2. Add in flour and beat at low speed just enough to mix.
  3. Make 1.5 inches ball and place them on parchment lined cookie sheet making sure there is room for spreading.
  4. With back of a round small spoon like I used my measuring spoon or you could use your thumb to make indentation on every cookie.
  5. Refrigerate for 1 hour atleast and bake in a pre-heated oven at 350 C for around 12 minutes, rotating half way in between. Refrigeration is necessary for minimal spreading.
  6. Make the indentation again as they might have risen up after baking.
  7. Make caramel by melting sugar and butter together. When the mixture starts boiling, simmer for a minute and take it off the heat. Add cream and mix. Cool before filling 3/4-1 tsp in each of the cooled cookies.
  8. Sprinkle sea salt and enjoy!

I first had chocolate truffles in USA which were I I first had chocolate truffles in USA which were I guess from Tiffany.

Since then I was always intrigued by how they were made.

The delish chocolate bites are easier to make than other varieties like bonbons.

A luscious chocolate ganache is prepared which is then divided into bite size pieces either by piping or scooping, dipped in tempered chocolate and rolled in cocoa powder.

Do you like truffles and have you ever tried making at home?

The brand I use the most is beryl's chocolate.(sw The brand I use the most is  beryl's chocolate.(swipe to see the packaging)

It's a Malaysian brand and I find it pretty easily here from @moltaqa.alkhabbazeen as well as in Pakistan from empress market karachi.(not sure about the current status,  will.update when I go in summers)

If you ask me one chocolate you should buy go for this brands 62% one either in coins or blocks. Coins are just easier to use. The 1.5 kg bag or 2 kg block is more than enough and has good price point. 

Therir 41% milk chocolate is great as well nut not recommended for baking. 

I use it for ganache, brownies, icecream, chocolate chip cookies, mousse and mousse cakes and in general great for dipping, coating etc.

I use milk chocolate 28% white one inky for white chocolate mousse or sometimes in cookies.

I use compound chocolate for chocolate decorations or making cake pops or cakesicles.
This also comes in block and small chocolate chips both are fine.

The other brands I have tried 
arabesque (belgium) 58%
@patissierchocolate (singapore) 61% ,41%

@callebautchocolate ( so popular, slightly overrated, difficult to get, available for bull orders)

dawn chocolate - good quality but i find it very sweet

All these brands are available in the above shops.
