While we are all safe at home, practicing social distancing and self quarantine, celebrating occasions at home is new normal, at least for a while. If you have someone in family whose birthday is coming up and chocolate chip cookies happens to be their favorite (why not), do give this easy chocolate chip cookie cake a try.

How to make Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake from scratch?

This recipe is just the extension of my classic chocolate chip cookies. The ingredients and ratios are similar just cornflour or cornstarch and baking soda in place of baking powder is the amendment. Many people ask how to make a cookie cake with cookie dough, you can do that with some varying result however as mentioned above the differences are minor.

How do you know when cookie cake is done?

Though it is similar to how you bake a cookie or a cake, however, following are the signs of doneness when you know for sure that your chocolate chip cookie cake is done.

  • The edges will be golden brown
  • The center of the cookie will be set
  • The cookie will have a cookes/matte finish rather than glossy
  • Do not overbake as it tends to get drier, the cookie will set when cooled.

How to decorate chocolate chip cookie cake?

  • The classic pictures you will find is the star border of chocolate buttercream which is ever so great combination. I also make it when I have some buttercream leftover because it requires very less.
  • Any other flavored frosting like cream cheese, vanilla or ganache
  • You can also drizzle some melted chocolate
  • Some fun/colorful sprinkles would add a celebratory touch
  • You can pipe a message or use skewers to place a small banner

Can you make chocolate chip cookie without oven?

Well, when I had prepared the batter and everything, my oven gave up and I ended up baking on a stove top mimicking a small oven. You can take a covered cooking pot bigger and deeper than the size of your pan, preheat the pot with a heatsafe stand inside (use an inverted bowl or something so your pan is not in direct contact with the base of your pot) and place your pan on it. Bake covered for 15 minutes or until done on a medium/slow heat.

How to store cookie cake and Substitutions?

  • The cookie cake can be stored at room temperature (unless you use a perishable frosting) covered .
  • Egg yolk adds richness to the cake, you can skip it. I have not tried it without corn flour, but skipping that should be ok too.
  • If you find your prepared dough too wet to press in the pan, refrigerate for sometime like 30 minutes and then continue.
Yield: One 9 inches cake

We all love chilghozas/pinenuts.Specially my eld We all love chilghozas/pinenuts.Specially my elder one and every winter my father would get them for her.My parents don't even eat or buy chilghozas/pinenuts when my daughter isn't there.(the grandparents love)This year, covid changed everything including our chilghozas supply and access.Last month my father's friend was visiting Riyadh and he surprised us by sending a few packs with him and excited we were would be an understatement.When I went to pick chilghozas, I felt so so homesick and missed my father like anything. Cried and prayed for all this to be over soon - covid 19 that changed 2020.
Gratitude nonetheless because it was less daunting for me and kept my loved ones safe and sound!As a thankyou gesture, made this basket for my father's friend and they loved it.Swipe to see more cloeups!Lemon pound cake (one bowl) - recipe on YouTube

English high tea or afternoon tea is incomplete wi English high tea or afternoon tea is incomplete without scones. Traditionally served in a 3 tier platter with sandwiches,pastries and assorted delicacies like eclairs etc. Scones are an integral part of it with clotted cream and jam.
Presenting my creation for last episode of our baking challenge which is scones/biscuits/muffins/cupcakes.The idea is to encourage baking from scratch at home! Merely putting together a few ingredients can create an array of baked goodies which are not only delicious but also healthier in terms of no additives preservatives and chemicals in general.
These scones turned out delicious, light, fluffy and soft.
Once your tastebuds are trained for the quality of food you consume,you are not likely to overeat or goto packaged food often.The only thing I would want next time is height. And basically 8 scones and not 14 should be made from this quantity.I went ahead and replaced half of the flour with wholewheat which in my opinion gave depth of flavour without compromising on texture.Good thing about scones is that they can be made sweet or savory and can have various add-ins.The clotted cream or devonshire cream is basically 35% cream, baked and chilled to get that thick skin. Back in pakistan we call it Balai.In my family, balai is always made using boiled and cooked milk, by cooling it overnight to get that thick rustic clotted cream leaving the milk with relatively less fat. That balai can even be used to make brownies or ghee.This balai is usually served with homemade apple jam or murabba (heirloom recipe) with whole apples cooked in sugar syrup for hours.Recipe of scones and jam in comments.Participants in this episode are super talented ladies, dont forget to check out the various scones and cupcakes variations they are postingSadaf @myculinaryfiles
