- Now to this – sift and add all the dry ingredients – wheat flour, corn flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda. Mix with a spatula.
- Now add chocolate chips and gradually add milk and knead into a dough. Dough should not be too sticky. Once you will start adding milk, you will notice mixture will start getting stiff. We have added 1 tablespoon milk. Still if you feel dough has become sticky, refrigerate it for 15-20 minutes.
- Grease baking tray with butter and line it with parchment paper.
- Take a small portion of dough (about 1 tablespoon), make a ball and flatten it lightly using your hand and place it on baking tray. Apply few chocolate chips in the centre and press lightly.
- You will get about 8 cookies.
- Bake the cookies at 160°C in a pre-heated oven (pre-heat for 160 degrees) for 15-20 mins or till you see cracks. Baking time depends on your Convection. We suggest you remain alert after 15 minutes. Cookies will be soft when you take them out of the oven. They will turn crisp once they get slightly cool. Let the cookies come to room temperature and then check. If it’s not crisp, then bake for a few more minutes.
- Cool the cookies on a cooling rack and store in an airtight container.
