A classic American chocolate chip cookie recipe that is soft and chewy on the inside with a slightly crispy edge. You can add nuts or peanuts according to your preference. The key is not to overbake them.

butter or margarine

large eggs (one whole egg, one egg yolk)

cup brown sugar

tbspn white sugar

teaspoon baking soda or baking powder

teaspoon salt

packet vanilla

cups chocolate chips

cups flour

easpoons Nescafe (expresso) (optional)

cup chopped nuts or peanuts

In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter or margarine together with brown sugar until it reaches a homogeneous consistency. Be careful not to overmix.

Add the eggs (one whole egg and one egg yolk) and continue mixing for 30 seconds.

Next, add the flour, baking soda or baking powder, vanilla, salt, and Nescafe (expresso) to the mixture and continue mixing for another 20 seconds.

If desired, add chopped nuts or peanuts to the dough and gently fold them in using a spatula.

Finally, add the chocolate chips to the dough and ensure they are evenly distributed. Be careful not to overmix; a homogenous mixture is sufficient.

The dough will have a soft consistency, unlike traditional cookie dough. To shape the cookies, you can use a spoon or, like me, wet your hands slightly with water and form the cookies by hand. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each cookie.

Avoid making the cookies too thick or too large, as they will spread and stick together while baking.

You can lightly press down on the cookies, but they will spread naturally as they bake. Preheat your oven to 170 degrees Celsius (340 degrees Fahrenheit) and bake the cookies for 17-19 minutes. (Keep in mind that baking times may vary depending on your oven, so be vigilant).

An important tip: After the specified time, when you touch the cookies, they will feel slightly soft. Don't think they are undercooked; once they cool outside the oven, they will firm up. If they have turned slightly golden, take them out of the oven immediately.

kg ground beef

onion

clove of garlic

cup breadcrumbs

to 1.5 tsp salt

tsp red pepper flakes

tsp black pepper

tsp allspice

tsp cumin

cup peas

carrots

potato

Ready-made mixed vegetables

to 2 tbsp olive oil

tbsp tomato paste

cup water

Egg white

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, chopped garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, red pepper flakes, black pepper, allspice, and cumin.

Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.

Prepare the filling by chopping the peas, carrots, and potato into small pieces. If using ready-made mixed vegetables, you can include them as well.

Take a small portion of the meatball mixture, flatten it with your hand, and place some of the filling in the center.

Close the meat mixture around the filling, shaping it into an oval or cylindrical köfte. Repeat the process for the remaining mixture.

In a separate bowl, mix the olive oil, tomato paste, and water to prepare the sauce.

Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add the prepared sauce to the pan.

Arrange the köfte on top of the sauce in a single layer.

Cook the köfte in the sauce, turning them occasionally until they are browned and cooked through. This will take around 20-25 minutes.

While cooking, occasionally brush the köfte with egg white to give them a glossy finish.

Once the köfte and sauce are cooked, serve them with your favorite side dishes and enjoy your delicious Dalyan Köfte! Bon appétit! :)
