Chocolate Chip & Cinnamon Cookies

Hi friends !! Easter greetings to all of my readers. Blogging has suddenly taken back seat as the days are getting hectic in terms of my commercial homebaking business. Back to back bulk orders were fun but kept me on toes. With your good wishes and blessings from the Almighty I recently received my largest order (quite literally) of a 7 kg plum cake. However, I am open to more challenging baking assignments as well as Indian snacks preparation of all over the country.

Just checking if I am successful in teasing you with this close shot :-)

This means that the above recipe I got it from the Baking Bible which is very simple to prepare and most likely be fancied by children of all ages and  is liked by my child who insists that I give him this school break regularly.

Recipe followed from Baking Bible
Ingredients:
1 cup Butter, unsalted and softened
2 cups + 2 tbsp plain Flour
1/2 cup Caster sugar
1 Egg yolk, lightly beaten
2 tsp Orange extract
Pinch of slat
1/2 cup plain Chocolate Chips

Cinnamon Coating:
1 1/2 tbsp Caster Sugar
1 1/2 tsp ground Cinnamon

Method:
 Pre heat the Oven to 190 Degree Celsius and line the baking sheet with baking paper. Put the butter and sugar into a bowl and mix well with a wooden spoon, then beat in the egg yolk and orange extract.

Sift together the flour and a pinch of salt into the mixture, add the chocolate chips and stir until thoroughly combined.

 Let this sit for 10-15 minutes. For the cinnamon coating, mix together the caster sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish.

Scoop out tablespoon of the cookie dough, roll them into balls, then roll them in the cinnamon mixture to coat. Put them on the prepared baking sheets spaced well apart.

Bake in the pre heated Oven for 12-15 minutes (Different Oven size varies baking time). Leave to cool on the baking sheets for 5-10 minutes. Then using a palette knife, carefully transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
