So, who doesn't like chocolate chip cookies? Nobody, of course.
There is this, let's call it, trend of homemade, DIY and "do it from scratch" movement, that we can read all over the internet.
Yes, we love Pinterest!
I like learning how to do things from scratch. I wonder a lot how things evolved from my grandmother to now. We traded knowlodge for quick and easy in boxes and microwaves...
And there's also the money! Why the hell are chocolate chips so expensive?
I decided to make my own. How hard could it be! Small dots of chocolate...
First, let me assure you, it's quite easy and anyone can do it, IF you have the TIME, (and let me emphazise TIME here!).
If you enjoy these kind of tasks go for it.It's not just money that you save, you can also make them nut free, sugar free, you name it, or use white chocolate and colour it with some food colouring.
The downside is that it takes FOREVER to dab those little bits onto parchment paper to make them just like chocolate chips.
Recipe
Ingredients
Chocolate bar
Ziplock bag, pastry bag or a squeeze bottle like in the picture
parchement paper
Just melt the chocolate in a pot over a saucepan with hot water over medium heat.
Pour it in a ziplock bag (pastry bag or squeeze bottle)
Cut off a tiny piece of one of the bags corners and start pipping.
They will harden pretty quick and then I usually transfer mine to an air-tight container a store in the frige.
Have fun!
