Eggless Chocolate Melting Moments RecipeHere’s another easy-to-bake eggless cookie recipe for baking beginners – Melting Moments! Melting moments are classic cookies or biscuits that use cornflour along with normal flour for a melt-in-your-mouth texture. I added a twist to them by making it chocolate flavoured.

Eggless Chocolate Melting Moments RecipeI am sorry for not including the cup measurements. I was adding and subtracting ingredients on a hunch so my cup measurements all went out the window. You can use the culiverter tool on the bottom of the right sidebar to get measurements in cups in case you don’t own a kitchen balance. Please don’t let that deter the aspiring baker in you.

I don’t have step by step pictures for this but its really not as complicated as a cake or a brownie. I do have a picture of the dough, which is not very pretty but I felt you’d like to see it.

Eggless Chocolate Melting Moments RecipeIts really simple with no complicated ingredients or steps. Not even an egg! So all you vegetarians out there, you can go for it too! Probably a good cookie to bake for easter too.

Eggless Chocolate Melting Moments Recipe
(makes 12)

Ingredients:
125gm butter, at room temperature
60gm icing sugar + more for dusting
100gm plain flour / maida
25gm cornflour
20gm cocoa powder

How to Make Chocolate Melting Moments

1. Beat butter and sugar using a hand beater or an electric beater on low until smooth, creamy and combined.

2. Sift the plain flour, cornflour and cocoa together into a bowl (if you don’t have a sieve, just make sure you mix them well until combined).

3. Add the flour mixture little at a time to the butter mixture and mix until its all combined.

4. Make small balls with the dough and press gently. Space them a good 2 inches apart on a tray. The cookies spread while baking. I didn’t need to use a baking sheet, the cookies were quite well-behaved and didn’t stick to the tray at all.

5. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 C. It took about 30 mins to bake. Let it cool completely before removing from the tray and dusting with some icing sugar. Its hard to tell when its done because of the colour but I would recommend that you check after about 20 mins, probably by taking out just one cookie, letting it cool a bit and tasting it.

Eggless Chocolate Melting Moments Recipe
Notes:

– You can store these for about 4 days in an air tight container.

– Its great to pack and send people, or to take to someone’s house when you are visiting, which is what I did.

– If you want a more rounded shape for your melting moments, shape into balls and don’t flatten. The cookies flatten as they bake so the rounder you start off, the more rounded the end result. I wanted flat ones, so I flattened the dough a bit.

This pic was taken 4 days after I made them. Still pretty and tasty, I can tell you 😉

    Thank you for the recipe Nags ^_^
    They turned out much better than I had expected being my first time baking and all, although my presentation took a royal beating. I had added raisins and almonds in a few. The ones with almonds dried out but the ones with raisins turned out great.
    These are gonna end up being a regular at my place. I am planning to cut down on the butter a li'l.
    Thanks again …

    Hi Nags, good work. Am very new to baking, so can u tell me how long we should pre heat the oven and whats the temp we should keep for pre heat.

    November 27, 2010 at 6:29 am

    Hello Anjum, as I have mentioned in the recipe, pre-heat the oven until its 180C.

    How to preheat? Turn the oven on empty at 180C. Most ovens have a light indicator that turns green (or something simiar) when the temperature is reached. Turn the oven on midway between preparing the dough, that should be enough.

    hi there excellent recipe! i just tried it out a few days ago and it was great, except that i personally think i could have done with much less butter and much more sugar.. 🙂 oh and it makes way more than just 12. or maybe my cookies were smaller than yours. well thanks for sharing the recipe , very simple and easy to make 🙂

    Praveena – If you can lessen the amount of butter, that's awesome! Do try that way and let me know if you do 🙂 Also, my cookies were on the bigger side, not biscuit-sized. Probably thats why?

    For anyone interested in my cup measures-here it is.
    Maida – 1 cup
    Cornflour – 1/2 cup
    Icing Sugar – 3/4 cup
    Butter – 3/4 cup(in room temperature)

    Add cocoa powder and there you have your chocolate melting moments-Nags style!!!
