  11. Separate the cream for chocolate ganache icing and coffee icing.
  12. Mix cream and melted chocolate and sandwich between the two sponge halves neatly with a palette knife.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies are the best ones I really feel. Have them anytime! Be it with coffee, tea or just like that. The best part of chocolate chips is that they do not stay solid or melt when we bake them. They just stay in a middle state where they are just soft and melt in your mouth. These cookies can be made chewy or crispy, its your wish how you want then to be. A wonderful comfort food so go bake 'em in no time. :D Ingredients 2 cups all purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 cup unsalted butter, softened 3/4th cup powdered sugar 1 cup packed light brown sugar 2 eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 1 and 1/4 cup chocolate chips Method In a large bowl , mix the flour and baking powder.
