Easter Sunday

Happy Easter everyone! The Easter bunny's is out.. I still don't understand the correlation between the Easter bunny and Easter eggs. I'm just happy I got my Easter Egg.. I got a Thronton's Easter Egg from Big B. My lil brothers were being lazy and forgot to buy me one this year.. I bought them Cadbury's Crunchie and Yorkie Easter eggs, Big B got an After Eights Easter egg.. Each egg is about 2000 calories each!!! I am just setting myself up to become a fatty mama.. I'll be shopping in the camping supplies stores next, to find myself a tent to wear.. ;)

Anyways, today my kitchen is having a rest. We are spending the day at my parents having all the yummy goodies Mama has cooked. She has cooked a meal enough for 20 people when it is just 6 of us to eat.. Chicken tandoori, pork vindaloo, sorpatel, chicken biryani, beef coconut curry, sannas.. and that's just beginning of the list...

I didn't know what recipe to post. All the chocolate talk reminded me of the cookies I made when I first met Big B. I believe the way to man's heart is through his stomach.. He is a greater choco addict than me... that is chocoaddict squared ...That's why I had to make these Triple Chocolate Cookies I found on Epicurious.com... They are like brownies and cookies put together.. My lil baby roysee helped me put these together.. We doubled the recipe and made a huge batch of these brownies....Before I made these, I thought the double chocolate fudge cookies at Spinneys were orgasmic, after having these I changed my mind..

Here's the recipe

Triple Chocolate Brownies

300gms 70% cocoa chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup plus 2 teaspoons plain flour
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
3 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla essence

Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350deg F/ 200deg C.

Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.

Stir chopped chocolate in top of double boiler set over simmering water until melted and smooth; remove from over water. Cool melted chocolate 10 minutes.


Meanwhile, sift flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into medium bowl. Using electric mixer, beat sugar and butter in another medium bowl until crumbly.

Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Continue to beat until mixture is light, pale, and creamy, about 5 minutes.

Add lukewarm melted chocolate and vanilla and beat just until blended. Fold in dry ingredients, then chocolate chips.


Drop chocolate cookie batter onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.

Bake cookies, 1 baking sheet at a time, until tops are evenly cracked but cookies are not yet firm to touch, about 16 minutes.

Cool cookies completely on baking sheets.

Enjoy!!!
