We Baked A Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie With Cookie Monster In Singapore
Was the furry cookie connoisseur, who was recently in town, satisfied with just one piece, though?
Check out the video of our baking session with thehilarious and cheekycookie connoisseur here.
Well, a single oversizedchocolate chip cookie. Using a recipe that requires minimal ingredients, just a bowl, a spoon and stirring even a child can master. All put together and ready to “om nom nom nom!” under 30 minutes. The always-hungry Cookie Monster — our favourite Sesame Street character — was in Singapore on June 25 and 26to promote his new book, ‘The Joy Of Cookies: Cookie Monster's Guide To Life’. He was also here forSesame Street’s #ShareTheLaughter campaign,a global social media-driven initiative to promote kindness everywhere.
a cookie.
And what an experience it was. At the cooking studiowithin Hard Rock Hotel'sSessions restaurant, he spilled chocolate chips and ate them off the counter, sang chirpily while mixing the dough, pestered us incessantly to hurry up and put it into the oven, naughtily grabbed our tray while we were still busy shaping the dough on it so it could be bakedpronto, crying out in exasperation: “It not have to be perfect!” In other words, baking with Cookie Monster was everything we expected and more. Check out our baking sesh with him in the video above.
Meanwhile, take this Cookie Monster-inspiredsingle giant chocolate chip cookie recipe for a spin. You know, on solo stay-in movie nights when your pantry is pretty bare, save for an eggand a fistful of choc chips.
It's made with a knob ofmelted butter plusa combination of white and brown sugar so that the dough in the middle remains irresistibly gooey, while the edges are deliciously caramelised and crisp.
And for a cookie recipe that comes together in about 26 minutes from mixing bowl to ready-to-eat, we must say it’s pretty damn tasty. Feed it to anyone and they’ll probably think you slaved over it, or bought it from a good bakery.
Because good things come to those who wait — for 26 minutes.
Though when we said this to a quivering,impatient Cookie Monster during our baking sesh with him (see video above), he begged to differ: “No! Me got to have cookie.Now!”
