How-Dark-Can-You-Go Chocolate Cookies

The combination of final test, 30 more unread (yet) BORING chapters, the low blood pressure, and the sinusitis is DEADLY. I wish for steak but no steak would wanna come to momma. I got my period this afternoon and that only added up to my already pounding headache. That explains the mood swings and the endless need to munch something. But then again, mood swings and excessive munching are legal when you’re a mom.

Anyhow, I don’t easily take medication to ease my headache. I prefer to eat something hot like a piece of toast slathered with Sambal so hot it can make a grown man cry or a cup of joe to relieve the pain. Sadly I ran out of Sambal so coffee it was. Then I realized I had no snack whatsoever to accompany my coffee. How undignified!

So I went to the kitchen with the coals burning hot in my heart over a puny yet urgent matter, turned on the oven, and started making a batch of chocolate cookie dough to calm my nerves.

Do I wanna measure the ingredients in grams? Duh!

Do I wanna use the mixer? In your dream!

Do I wanna wash tons of dishes after baking it? Heck no!

So let’s not do those!

Makes 7 cookies
Ingredients:
2 Egg whites
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/3 cup icing sugar
A pinch of salt
A handful of dark chocolate chips
A handful of your favorite nuts, sliced or chopped
Marshmallows (optional but delicious)

Mix ‘Em All!
-Preheat the oven and set for 175C
-Mix the egg whites, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. 
-Add the chocolate chips and nuts. I use almonds.
-Spoon them on the baking sheet.
-Add the marshmallow, if using.
-Freeze them while waiting for the oven to reach 175C
-Bake for 13-14 min.


I love that it takes less than 30 minutes to have fresh cookies. I also love that I literally use no fat and yolk. I promise you won't be missing the butter and the yolk here. That, my friend.. is perfection.

For those of you who love dark chocolate, then it is the cookie for you. It has a subtle sweetness yet too subtle I might just call it shy. It's rich yet it doesn't leave you with a heavy bloated feeling. But if you have a very, very, very sweet tooth, you can find the recipe at Fifteen Spatulas. 


The fact that this recipe only yields seven cookies also makes sure that you'll have enough happiness for one jolly afternoon. Good for the heart, good for the waist. Personally, I prefer to bake any sweet treats just enough to last for three days at the most because they taste better if consumed within that time span.

Have it warm and you'll be rewarded with a soft and chewy cookie. Have it cooled then you will have a delectable crispy edged cookie. Either way, you can have it anyway you like.



Try this at home. Bake it for your kids, your spouse, when it rains, when you're feeling blue, when you need to pamper yourself, or just bake it for the love of baking.

Cheers!

MaMiko's Vegan Guiltless Snacks


No more guilty feeling for snacking!

We all love to snack. Be it savory or sweet.

Every Idul Fitri, Christmas, or just about any time of the year we always provide our home with something to nibble when all the family members and friends get together. My goal is to make healthy snacks to make those happy moments merrier and not jeopardize the waist size J

MaMiko has three new vegan, melt in the mouth, snacks that are so delicious you won’t even realize they’re absolutely free from butter and eggs. If you are new to the word vegan; it is different with vegetarian. Vegan means no use of animal product. At all. Vegetarians still consume eggs or cow’s milk, but vegans don’t include any animal product so even egg is not used, cow’s milk is substituted with soy and almond milk, etc.


These snacks are created for people who love lean and healthy food even if they’re not vegan, who are on diets, and mostly.. for people who want to keep snacking without having to worry about how much fat and God-knows-what's-in-it may contain. It is great for all ages and safe for the elderly people who have high blood pressure because it contains very little amount of salt (1gr/400gr of dough).


There are three varieties:
-Vegan Mung Bean Almond
Slightly sweet just to compliment the sweetness of the mung bean.

-Vegan Red Bean Almond
Savory, no sugar added.

-Vegan Pea
Savory, no sugar added. You can choose between almond and cheese for kids.


All the balls are made from Balastra flour. The initial composition of Balastra flour is wheat flour (not white flour), brown and golden flaxseeds, pumpkin seeds, rye flakes, edible wheat bran, potato flakes, rye flour, coarse ground spelt, rolled oats, wheat gluten, and wheat germs.

Sounds healthy? Of Course!

These products are dairy free, egg free, shortening free, and margarine free. I mill the mung bean flour, red bean flour, and the pea flour myself, so it’s absolutely preservatives and additives free.

Each bite sized balls is highly nutritious and packed with your daily need of fiber and protein.

Price for every I box of 500gr:
Buy 1 @Rp75.000
Buy 2 @70000
Buy 3 @65000

Gluten Free Skippy ChocChip Cookies


These cookies are actually my family's favourite, especially my husband's.
I happen to have a wonderful nephew who is gluten intolerant, so it is such a lovely and safe treat for him and I am happy to bake this all the time for him. For you too as well J
But please don't underestimate and associate the term "gluten-free" with bland and average. These cookies are far from those words. They are scrumptious, nutty, chocolatey, and a good source of protein.
Have these ready in your house and slip them in your child's lunch box or your husband's bag. It's always a sweet surprise to find them.

Creamy ChocChip Cookies

Is it just another chocolate chip cookies?
No.
I am not saying that my chocolate chip cookies are the best in town. But it is definitely one of the best that you would ever taste. It is rich and creamy and have just the right crispiness on the edge and softness in the center.
Have this dunked in a glass of milk, or green tea, or just with whatever your heart tells you to.
I would gladly say that freshly baked chocolate cookies are medicine for the soul, it will put a smile on the face of people who received them J
If you happen to want to bake them on your own so you can serve them warm to your loved ones, I also provide frozen ones.
All you have to do is pop them in the oven straight from the freezer and Voila!
great chocolate chip cookies are ready to be served.
As a bonus, you'll get a house that smells divine.
