Ultimate Chocolate Cream Cheese Cookies-Eggless

Whenever we go to Carrefour for our Monthly Grocery Shopping, Kuttu would grab himself a box of Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies from the bakery there. Though i bake cookies @ home, i have never tried these @ home. For this month's Baking Partner's Challenge, we got three Cookies Recipe.  Ultimate Chocolate Cream Cheese Cookies from Tina of Pinay's Cooking Corner, Cornflakes Cookies by Priya of Priya's Versatile Recipes and Home-made Oreo Cookies by Reeni of Cinnamon spice and Everything nice.
I immedidately decided to make my Kuttu's fav. Chewy Chocolate Cream cheese cookies. Oh my, they tasted awesome, Kuttu loved them. I baked Cornflakes Cookies too, which i will be posting in another 2 days.

1 tbsp Cream
1/2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract

Guacamole




I first came to know about guacamole only during my last abroad trip. When I tasted it for the first time, I didn't like the taste. Later, I came to know that we can make this at home easily with available ingredients. So, just added other ingredients with avocado and adjusted the taste as per my personal preference. It has become an addictive recipe at home now. I just added more chillies and lime juice to make it as my family favourite and my choice is to eat with spicy corn tortilla chips.


Basic Information:
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Serves: 2




 

Ingredients:


Avocados - 1 no, ripen

Red Onion - 1 no, small size, finely chopped
Tomato - 1 no, medium size, finely chopped
Coriander leaves - 2 tablespoons, finely chopped
Green chillies - 2-3 nos,
Salt - to taste
Lime juice - to taste

Method:


1) Cut the avocado in a vertical position. This helps the seeds to come out quickly. Scoop the creamy inner part using a spoon from the thick skin.



2) Mash it well.



3) Add mashed avocado, red onion, green chillies, tomato, coriander leaves, salt and lime juice in a mixer/food processor. Grind it for just less than half a second.



4) Serve immediately with corn/tortilla chips.





Note:
1)  All the ingredients can be increased or decreased as per individuals taste.
2)  For quick avocado, simply add salt, red chilli powder and lime juice and enjoy with corn chips.

3)  Choose firm and ripen avocado for best guacamole.
