Chocolate Chip Cookies in the Thermomix

These were gone in less than 24hrs. I mean that is sooo embarrassing to admit but they were just so damn good. Comparable to Subway cookies but less greasy that's for sure. I will be very careful when I make these again...it is beach season now :| Hehe...says the self proclaimed Cookie Monster ;)

Ingredients:

100g raw sugar

125g butter

100g brown sugar

1/2tsp vanilla 

1 egg or egg substitute

250g self raising flour

150g dark choc chips OR white choc chips OR M&M's OR a combo!

Method:

Preheat oven to 180º. 

Add sugar to TM bowl. Mill 10 seconds, speed 9. 

Add butter, brown sugar and vanilla to TM bowl. Mix 1 minute, speed 4 but add the egg through the top lid at 30 seconds remaining.

Add flour. Knead for 20 seconds.

Add chocolate. Mix 10 seconds, REVERSE, soft speed.

Spoon mixture onto a lined baking tray. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Will be very soft until completely cooled, so leave on tray. 

These are naughty but yummy. Good for a once in a while treat! Happy Thermomixing!

Vegan Custard in the Thermomix

I've never had custard but everyone always rants and raves about it so I've been dying to try it! My favourite Thermo consultant inspired me to give it a go and voila...here is my vegan version. I thought it tasted very nice but I might have preferred it chilled, so tomorrow I will indulge in leftovers :) I don't have anything to compare it to but I quite liked this alternative dessert that's sugar, egg and dairy free! I combined a few recipes online to suit what was in my pantry tonight!

1 tin coconut milk

30g light agave syrup

1tsp vanilla

50g arrowroot flour

1/4 tsp salt 

Vegan chocolate shaved to serve

Put all ingredients in TM bowl and cook 6 minutes, 90º, speed 4. Serve. 

Happy Thermomixing!

Chocolate Hazelnut Melting Moments in Thermomix

These cookies are melt in your mouth amazing! They are also super quick. I was running out of time to make something for a small dinner party so I jazzed up the 40 second biscuit recipe from the Everyday Cookbook.

Ingredients:

100g almonds

100g raw sugar

150g plain flour

130g butter, softened

2 tsp vanilla

Method:

Preheat oven to 180º Line baking tray.

Put almonds and sugar in TM bowl. Mill 10 seconds, speed 9.

Add remaining ingredients and mix 30-40 seconds, lock TM bowl, knead. 

Roll into small balls, place on baking tray. Flatten slightly with a floured fork. 

Bake 20-30 minutes. Cool on wire rack completely. Spread chocolate hazelnut on each biscuit or to combine two biscuits together. Enjoy! (They don't last long!)

Happy Thermomixing!
