This has got to be the cutest mixer I have ever seen. While at Sur La Table last week I noticed it.....in the sale section.....this beautiful little green machine. The KitchenAid 9 speed Professional Mixer in apple green ! I've been wanting to buy a hand held mixer, so this was the perfect combo.. adorable and on sale!
I wanted to test it out immediately so I decided to make a really quick recipe my friend gave me for snap chocolate chip cookies. After acquiring this recipe I don't think I ever made regular chocolate chip cookies again. These are hands down the easiest and tastiest version of this classic.
The only changes I made to the below recipe is that I left out the slivered almonds, because I didn't have any, and I added 1/2 c chocolate covered raisins instead. I like these cookies when they are crisp and brown on the edges, so I baked the tray for about 35-40 minutes instead of the 25 minutes in the recipe.
Snap Cookies9 oz butter, room temp
1 1/2 c superfine sugar
3/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
3 c plain all purpose flour
3/4 c slivered almonds (optional)- I used 1/2 c chocolate covered raisins
1 1/2 cups chopped chocolate - I used a little more
Preheat oven to 180° C or 355 ° F.
Line a 12" x 15" (or about that size) baking tray with parchment paper.
Place butter, sugar and vanilla in a bowl and beat with mixer until light and creamy.
Add egg and beat well.
Sift the flour over the butter mixture and fold through with the almonds and chocolate.
Spread the cookie mixture evenly over the whole tray and bake for 25 minutes or until golden.
Lift cookie out of tray with parchment paper and allow to cool on a rack.
Break apart into various sizes before serving.
(I forget where my friend got this recipe, but as soon as I figure it out I will give a credit)Boon loves this mixer too !
