Note

Superb crispy cookies with chocolate chunks. Very tasty, what is in English. it's called Chocolate Chips Cookies, and we have it like Esmeralda cookies, only it doesn't give heartburn. The output turns out to be a mountain of simply divine cookies. This is for those who like a lot of filling and few cookies

I found the recipe from Lyudmila mariana-aga

Lisss's, and there is no liquid in the recipe at all?

there is no liquid at all. there, due to soft butter and banana puree, a soft dough is obtained. try to do it - you will not regret the taste is very cool, it is impossible to come off, and in terms of time and products, nothing at all

I made this cookie. Here is my photo report
These are raw cookies before baking (I confess, I couldn't stand 4 cm between the cookies, because I wanted to bake everything in one go)

These are such beautiful bumps

Here's what came out of these beautiful bumps (just please don't laugh)

Here is the finished cookie

Cutaway


So,
I'll say right away - Thanks to Lisss's and Lyudmila mariana-aga for the recipe.
The cookies turned out to be delicious, completely without a banana flavor (I don't like it in baking) with a specific bittersweet flavor of chocolate.
BUT
1. The finished biscuits were not crispy at all, although I cooled them on the wire rack (as indicated in the recipe). As a result, instead of storing the cookies in a jar so that they would not lose their crisp properties, I kept them open on the table for several days so that they would “harden” and crunch a little.
2. Oatmeal was strongly felt in the finished biscuits. I'm starting to think that I had some kind of wrong flakes, although it seems like a regular Hercules. Maybe it should be chopped before adding to the dough?
3. Yes, and the cookies spread when baking something very strong

P.S. Baked with 215 g of chocolate and 75 g of nuts

[shuska]

Here's what came out of these beautiful bumps (just please don't laugh)

shuska, we will not laugh - everyone usually has the first baking sheet, "stuck together" - both me and my sister always think that the distance is too great, but the cookies really spread very much, melt, and if the distance is not kept, then here and so it combines into one continuous carpet

judging by the color - beautifully tanned - your cookies are baked.then, it seems to me, there was no crunchiness due to the desire to bake everything in one go, I get 4 baking trays with cookies when baking, it is thin at the exit, due to this, the sugar melts and, when it cools, crunches. in your photo, cookies are 2 times thicker than mine, I usually think, you need to put fewer mounds, literally no more than a teaspoon.

when I keep my cookies on the table, they usually do not get stale, but, on the contrary, absorbs moisture from the air, and, as it were, damp - it stops crunching.

I took oatmeal oatmeal, quick cooking - maybe yours was a long cooking? in my cookies, oatmeal was not heard at all. she did not grind anything, she put it in.

P.S. Baked with 215 g of chocolate and 75 g of nuts

- shuska, I didn't weigh the filling, I just put one and a half glasses of nuts and crushed chocolate. the main thing is not to reduce the filling.

I tried to answer everything ... if something is not clear - write, I will answer with pleasure, because it is a pity that we did not manage to appreciate all the deliciousness of this cookie the first time try again, you will not regret - this cookie is very cool, we have it immediately became loved

[Lisss's]

Lisss's , "to appreciate all the deliciousness of this cookie" happened the first time. But the appearance was not successful. I wish it was "tasty" not only inside, but also outside.
In your photo, the cookie has at least a small tubercle, but I got it completely flat. It's strange, because your cookies have free space around them to spread more, but I have nowhere to go. Maybe something went wrong with the test? Maybe I was wrong somewhere in the products? I measured it with a glass, but then weighed it on the scales. It's easier for me (more precisely). Maybe my glass is not the same as yours?
Another surprise is that the cookie seemed thick to you. Its thickness is only about 1-1.3 cm (I went to try it on purpose, and at the same time finished the last piece) It's just a photo at high magnification.
You write that my cookie is 2 times thicker than yours. Then how thick are your cookies?

I am glad that the deliciousness was appreciated on the first try and we will work on the form - where will it go from us?

the thickness of my cookies is 0.5-0.7 cm. I put a mound with a teaspoon (like you have in the photo), and then in the oven it spreads around me. in the middle there is the filling that could not spread. (hope what I am writing makes sense to the reader

my glass is an ordinary, thin-walled glass ... here, it seems to me, the difference in those few grams is not important. here, in principle, put on a baking sheet rarely, and in small portions - then it will spread, melt and bake, and when it finally cools down - it freezes and crunches like mad

after several cookie preparations the following was found

It is convenient to turn chocolate into pieces as follows:
first, the sealed chocolate bar must be pounded on the table with all your strength so that it turns into small pieces inside. if the pieces are not small enough, it is most convenient to prick them with a "fork" for cutting onions.

delicious with ordinary dark chocolate. with chocolate with a high cocoa content (76%) - not tasty - very bitter.

nuts for the filling should be chopped not too finely - when a larger piece is found - very tasty

And I grinded chocolate and nuts with a hammer for beating meat, after putting it in a plastic bag so that it scattered less

[the size of a walnut]

yesterday I was preparing this cookie again, I decided to capture the process, for clarity

this is the kneaded dough:



this is how I put it on a baking sheet with a teaspoon. found the right comparison - spread on a baking sheet in pieces the size of a walnut not more



this is how it grows when baked in the oven:
but then it settles into a flat pancake and becomes crispy



and ready-made cookies


I bake on two baking trays - one in the oven and put on the other.

well, just awesomely delicious, as, indeed, everything in Lyudmila's mariana-aga from LJ

I forgot to say - out of 4 trays by the morning 2 cookies "survived"

Thank you very much for the recipe !!! very tasty cookies !!!!
reduced sugar to 1 cup (0.5 white + 0.5 brown) because very sweet raisins went into the filling 1 cup and 200 g of dark chocolate

[Lisss's]

Lisss's, thanks for the recipe!

Transferred to a lighter composition

I baked these cookies today, I only took half of the whole grain flour, rye flakes and chocolate only a glass, and I didn’t regret it, 3 glasses is too chocolate, even for me If you say that the cookies are delicious - this is nothing to say, they are magnificent, delicious thanks, what did you share
While she went to treat her neighbor, she strictly forbade her son to eat them (he had already eaten 4 pieces, and there was still chocolate late in the evening), came home, and he sentenced 5 more, said: "Divine" and closed his eyes:

[Lisss's]

And my son loves Esmeralda so much

Lisss's , and chocolate drops (special droplets) fit here?

[Celestine]

Celestine, these cookies are very popular with boys, for some reason my boy friend just begs me to bake them for him

LulekIf she loves Esmeralda, then this is her! only these heartburn do not give - bake him. their mountain turns out quickly and cheaply, and all products are natural.

but here, according to the recipe, there should be drops, but I don't have them, so if you come across them somewhere at a reasonable price, I'll take 1 kg of white and black))

and who is the manufacturer, have you tried them?

I bought chocolate coins, at UAH 21 / kg, so the taste is awful now I don't know whether to throw them away or ruin something with them? ...

I tried them when I took them at the Food Center. Very decent Ukrainian-made chocolate drops

And here are my cookies, I specially ordered the drops, maybe they turned out not quite even, but delicious sooooooo
True, I reduced the amount of sugar and dropped fewer drops too.



Everyone appreciated the cookie! and the teacher, and the children in the group and of course the daughter
Today I came to the kindergarten, and the children surrounded me with a chorus "Do you still have baking?" I promised that I will bring it on Monday

Lisss's, I put the cookies in containers with a lid, and they became soft, and they were soooo crispy

[Lisss's]

And here is another batch of kindergarten



Lisss's thanks for the recipe !!

[Suslya]

Suslya, on the health of the recipe Lyudmilin from LJ, really good - fast and productive

to remain crispy, you need to wait until they cool completely, and then fold. I store it in a plastic bag, tightly tied, for tomorrow they crunch (of course, not so loudly, as soon as from the oven, but pretty well. If you leave it on the table, it becomes soft by morning, absorbs moisture from the air.

So I cooled down and fold ... well, okay, the way does not crunch, they are tasty anyway

I don't even know then .. did you seem to reduce sugar? I think caramelized sugar gives more crunchiness ...

[Lisss's]

Lisss's Thank you very much for the delicious recipe,: flowers: my cookies are standing, they are cooling down, everything worked out the first time, the smell is soooooo that it makes you dizzy ... it crunches well, though, as for me, it's very sweet, (although I put less chocolate, It's just that it's already late, the neighbors began to crumble the chocolate, the neighbors began to resent, I had to limit myself to one tile, and even then I had to cut the chocolate with a knife ...). And the recipe is a miracle, quickly and simply ... it took 40 minutes for everything. And I would also add sourness .... but I don't know in what form, can you tell me?

[Julchen]

Julchen, I'm glad you did it! to your health

and you will treat your neighbors with cookies - next time they will crush your own chocolate

and sourness can be added by varying the filling - if you add candied cherries - it will be super I did not have cherries, there were candied pineapple, cubes, I still chopped them and added 1 glass, and 1 stack. chocolate and 1 cup of walnuts. they added a little sourness. only you have to chew them harder than I think without them, you can even try with dried fruits - crumble apples and 1 stack. to give. with dried cranberries should be good ...

if you try this, please write what happened, okay?

[Lisss's]

Lisss's, thanks for the tips (especially about the neighbors), I somehow did not think about candied fruits, but it's really simple! And I was still tormented, how could I put a lemon in there ... but the matter turns out to be not in the lemon ... :) I will definitely try and report on the result ...

Do you think it is possible to cook these cookies without butter, only on vegetable oil?

On 1 page of this temka there is a photo and my version of the recipe with vegetable oil and other dietary components

Do you think it is possible to cook these cookies without butter, only on vegetable oil?

it's hard to say, I haven't tried it ... but why not try it? you can make half or a quarter of a portion ... can you tell us what happened?

Just replace all the oil with vegetable oil. I partially replaced it with vegetable, partially cottage cheese.

I made this cookie in 170 g vegetable oil, no butter, no vanilla. I did not add the filling either, because it is still too early for my son to give chocolate (he is 2 years old), and there are no dried fruits left at home. The banana was pretty hard. And yet it turned out to be a great crunchy banana cookie. Everything is like in Lisss's photo report. I got 3 liters. 1st baked at top-bottom heat 180 * C 20 min. It turned out tanned, I wanted lighter. After turning on convection 140 * C, baking on 2 sheets at the same time for about 25 minutes. The same crispy, but lighter. That's what you need. Banana smelled especially during baking. The taste is felt. One drawback is rather fatty. I want to try reducing the amount of oil and putting 2 bananas instead of one.

Thanks to Lyudmila for the recipe and Lisss's for bringing it here.

Here's what I got
It's before baking

here they are cooling down

and finally ready

When dad tried, he looked at mom so reproachfully and asked "Why did you never bake such cookies for me?"
I think you can continue without comment:. Thank you!

[Pogremushka]

Pogremushka, it's great that everything worked out! good luck with your further experiments!

DJ, well, daddy's praise is above any awards.I congratulate you that dad managed to please the only thing, I make cookies a little smaller - with a walnut in its raw form ... how are yours, it seems to be larger? you probably baked them a little longer?

[Lisss's]

Lisss's about 20 minutes one baking sheet. True second baking more zazharisty it turned out I had half an hour to bake, and turned negrityata But everything is very tasty. I did exactly according to your recipe, I took one and a half glasses of nuts and chocolate chips. Next time I'll try to make no more than a teaspoon, I just didn't expect them to rise like that.

Thanks for the recipe! And really great cookies !!!
But often I will not bake, so as not to humiliate other cookies.

[Lyulёk]

I just baked your cookies ... Thank you very much for the recipe, everything turned out the first time, although I baked the first portion a little for a lot, but they ate nothing ... it's good that I put all the locusts (children and husband) to bed, otherwise in the morning I wouldn't have left anything for tea.I've been looking at this cookie for a long time, but I wanted chocolate drops, today with the help of our Lyulёk I got rich on this good and .... squeezed and ran for a chocolate bar ... very, very tasty. And crunch

I'm trying to insert a photo ... otherwise it didn't work before

[nelya]

nelya, great biscuits, congratulations, great you did it, how, did anything survive by the evening?

[Highly]

Thank you last night (when we went to bed) there was another half of the portion, I just baked it late ... this morning they turned off the light until lunchtime, and we have an electric stove, so everyone swooped down on the rest of the cookies and dared ... each took a piece, divided it equally ( I'm already ashamed in front of the children) ... and what do you think, I just baked something else I tried to do something smaller so that more pieces came out and now the children lay down (God, it's a shame that I'm hiding from the children (but I'll leave them)) and we and my husband made some tea, put a bowl of cookies and can't tear ourselves away from it. Highly Thank you very much for the delicious recipe.

No ... well, I don't want that anymore. I made everything for the cookies again. Tell me, after how many portions it is consumed or can add something to it in order to spoil the taste, but you cannot continue in the same spirit. It is like seeds, until everything in the basin is over, no one will leave this basin

[nelya]

nelya, well, they made me laugh, I just imagined how in the silence of the night only the crunch of cookies in the apartment

about "when it gets boring" - here I can only disappoint - you can change the filling! then crumble pieces of white chocolate, then chopped candied fruits, and cherries if - so that there was such a sourness - mmm ... so your torment is unlikely to end soon, hold on!

[Lisss's]

Thank you Lisss's "reassured" ... I have a bowl of cookies again for the third day in a row ... my God!

[Lyudmilka - Lisss's]

Lyudmilka - Lisss's, thanks for the cookie recipe!
Their taste, of course, is not ordinary. My men liked it!


I would like to ask: is it necessary to put "rolled oats" and what does the soda do with the dough if it still does not go out?

[Zhivchik]

Zhivchik, on health and "unusual" - is it rather good, or rather bad?

oatmeal necessarily, in flakes.

what does soda do with the dough if it still does not quench?

Zhivchik, and your cookies are not bloated in the oven to the size of a balloon? mine swell (the soda is quenched by a banana and the temperature - the cookies are small, they have time to react from heating before they bake), then they fall off and a layered structure is obtained on the fault.

[Zhivchik]

Zhivchik, and your cookies are not bloated in the oven to the size of a balloon?

I do not know...
I didn’t look into the oven. I put it on for 12 minutes and that's it.
Spread out on a baking sheet with a teaspoon in balls the size of a nut, and pulled out such flat cookies from the oven.

Well, you missed all the fun

Well, you missed all the fun

Indeed ...

And I again baked the second portion, only with minor changes.
Instead of brown sugar, I added currant jam (candied) and lemon zest. She put out a little soda with lemon juice, did not put "Hercules" either. And there were no nuts yet.
The cookies are so ugly in color ...
But it tastes even better than the first time. The banana was not so felt, but there was the smell of currants.
I am showing you, just don’t laugh.

[Zhivchik]

Currant paints an interesting color in cookies, of course. now the modification of cookies has appeared, bravo, Zhivchik!!!

interesting color in cookies

And what a beautiful color the dough had ...
And then it turned out like this after baking.

thanks, cooked.
