Ingredients
230 grams (1 cup) of softened butter
100 grams (½ cup) of white sugar
250 grams (1 ¼ cup) of brown sugar (can use all brown or all white sugar)
1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon of cardamom
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
2 eggs
370 grams (2 ¼ cups) of white flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
½ teaspoon of baking powder
1 teaspoon of salt
350 grams (2 cups) of chocolate chips
Instructions
In a mixer with a flat beater, mix the butter with sugars and spices until smooth. Gradually add the eggs and continue mixing for another two minutes.
In a separate bowl, mix all the other ingredients except the chocolate chips and add them to the mixer. Mix very little, add the chocolate chips, and mix a little more just until you don’t see any more flour.
Put the mixture in the refrigerator for at least half an hour (or overnight).
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius (356 F).
Roll out the cookies in equal sizes and place them on a tray with baking paper, leaving large spaces between them.
Bake for about 10 minutes until the cookies are not shiny.
Cool on a wire rack and wait for the compliments to roll in.
Pro Tip: From Rachel Goldberg-Polin- I like to portion the dough out beforehand to assess how much I need to make. I then freeze everything I haven’t baked in a sealed box. This way, I always have cookies to bake on hand. I take them out of the freezer, put them straight into the oven and add a maximum of two more minutes to the baking time.
Description
Hersh Goldberg-Polin was taken as a hostage by the vicious Hamas group and murdered on September 1. A young life taken for vengeance and taken so very young. May these cookies remind of us of the sweet and wonderful guy Hersh was. May his memory be a blessing. His mom says these were his favorite cookies.
Servings
Never enough.
Notes
There are ingredients in these cookies that are not in the list. Added ingredients are the pain for Hersh, his family and all those who prayed for his safe release. There are tears for the sadness of his brutal treatment and death. There is no understanding of the purpose of this horrible act. There is a strong desire for revenge.
