During the period of Circuit Breaker, there is a recipe circulated that got me interested to try it.

Famous Amos Cookie!!! Who dun love those cookies right? I will always buy when going for road trips as the boys simply love them.

Tried it and while I will not exactly say it taste totally like Famous Amos (probably because I was using semi-sweet chocolate chips instead) but it does taste good and definitely crunchy.

This recipe makes about 4 containers of cookies!

Some minor points on the ingredients. I typically convert cups to gram.
Otherwise the whole recipe can be found below for my own easy reference.

Ingredients

• 250g of butter
• 1 and 1/4 cups of brown sugar (250g)
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence
• 1 egg
• 2 1/2 cups of wheat flour (I used 300g AP flour)
• 1/2 cup of cornstarch (aka 60g corn flour)
• 1 teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate (aka Baking Soda)
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder
• 6 tablespoons of cooking oil
• 2 cups of chocolate chips (I used 1 packet of Hershey semi-sweet mini choc chips)
• Almond nips or flakes (optional) (I did not add)

Steps

First, mix butter, sugar, vanilla essence and egg in a bowl with a spoon

The author warns that you shouldn’t use a mixer for this step. Using a spoon or spatula is ideal, or even your hands is fine too.

The stirring has to be done slowly, but you’ll only need to stir for 2 minutes.

Then, add wheat flour, cornstarch, bicarbonate soda, baking powder and cooking oil to the same container.

After, add the chocolate chips to what is now cookie dough. Add some to your mouth for good measure.

Mix everything together.

At this point, those who prepared almond nips or flakes can add them here, to your liking. Once again, stir well.

Place the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes, or if your fridge isn’t particularly cold, until the dough hardens.

Apply butter to a baking tray — don’t use baking paper. Then, pinch some cookie dough and socially distance each individual cookie as shown. (I did however use baking paper)

Preheat the oven at 150 degrees, then bake the cookies for 20 minutes. Monitor the dough to ensure that it doesn’t burn.

And there you have it, after 20 minutes of waiting and salivating — your Famous Amos replica cookies are done.
