Today I am back in my home. Yesterday I bought chocolate chips in a store in Coimbatore. Today I made these wonderful cookies which are crunchy and soft at the same time. When I read about these cookies, usually the author describes it as crunchy and chewy. I never understood how a cookie can be crunchy and chewy at the same time. But after tasting these cookies I understand it. The outer layer was very crisp while the interiors were chewy and it was also loaded with chocolate chips. My daughter who is a great fan of chocolate loved these. She also helped me in preparing these cookies. The original recipe had eggs and nuts. But I changed it to an eggless one by substituting buttermilk for egg and raisins instead of nuts. The outcome was fantastic.
Ingredients:
Butter-1/2cup
White Granulated Sugar-1/2cup
Brown Sugar-1/2cup(I used a combination of light and dark brown sugar)
Buttermilk-1/3cup
Vanilla Essence-1tsp
All Purpose Flour/ Maida-1 1/2cups
Baking Soda-1/2tsp
Salt-1/4tsp
Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips-1cup
Raisins-1cup(I used a combination of golden and black raisins)
Procedure:
1. Cream together butter and sugars.
2. Add the vanilla essence and buttermilk and beat until creamy.
3. Mix flour, baking soda and salt.
4. Add the flour to the butter mixture and fold.
5. Add the chips and raisins. Mix well.
6. Refrigerate for 1hour.
7. Preheat oven to 175C.
8. Make lemon sized balls out of the dough and place 2″ apart on a butter paper lined baking tray.
9. Flatten each ball with a fork. If the dough sticks to the fork, place the fork in flour and then flatten.
10. Bake for 10-12minutes. Look out for browning at the bottom of the cookie.
11. Remove from oven and let it cool on the tray.
12. Remove the cookies carefully from the paper and place on wire rack and let it cool completely.
13. Store in airtight jar.
14. Serve along with coffee.

Yum,yum,those cookies looks absolutely divine..
Chocolate chip cookies are my daughter’s favorite ones. She saw them on your blog and asked me when I made those. When I said someone else did, she realized that it was not my blog, saw your name and told me to tell you that they have come out good. 🙂
Looks so tempting! I bet it tastes equally good!
Suma, Thanks a lot for the positive feedback…
Cookies look perfect.. delicious.
nice you have udes white and brown sugar combination, in fact i have seen many recipes just using brown sugar.. but your cookies are looking just perfect… thanks for sharing ~ Love Monu Teena!
Hi gayathri, I tried your recipe. The dough was not dry how much ever maida I kept on adding, hence making the result very soft and not crispy. Please suggest me how to further repair the dough since I have it in store.
This cookies turn soft only. It is like those cookies available in US. For crispy cookies there is another recipe in the blog. The dough is supposed to be soft and after refrigerating it will become non sticky. Do not add more flour. It will affect the texture..
If we dont have oven, then how can we make this receipe in other way with out oven?
You can try baking in cooker, but it will take a lot of time because you will need to make it in atleast three batches.
What if we don’t have buttermilk and brown sugar?
You can mix milk and lemon juice to make butter milk, and add normal sugar instead of brown sugar.
Quantity for lemon and milK pls For making butter milk?
1/3 cup milk and one tbs of lemon juice
I made these Gayathri , first time I made cookies . They turned out really good. I have also tried several of your cake recipes.
Thank you for making eggless baking so good ! I have never enjoyed baking so much .
That is wonderful. Thank you so much for trying!
Ma’am what if I don’t want to use raisins?
You can skip it. Use extra choco chips if you prefer.
Hi can we use regular milk instead of buttermilk?
You can use milk + vinegar if you don’t have buttermilk.
Dear Gayathri,
Hi,
I want to make these choco chips cookies
Can we use whole brown sugar or we should use it powdered? please guide,
Thanks
If using whole sugar, it will take time to cream it with butter. But if powdered, it will be easier. If using powdered sugar, you need to measure whole sugar first and then powder it.
