Ok, so this is the first review that i would give a 10 if I could.. We all know that finding THE BEST chocolate chip cookie is very difficult. I live in chile so i couldnt try the award winning chocolate chip cookies from this site due to the lack of ingredients.. i finally found chocolate chips in the supermarket so I decided to try this. Im a fan of making thinks from scratch so even though award winning cookies must be great, just knowing it has premade and premixed things isnt appealing to me. this is THE chocolate chip cookie. dont make them small, the idea is to have a big fat chewy cookie, i made them with a heaping tablespoon of dough and they are huge! I didnt sift the flour, I whisked it. I also used 1 3/4 cups chocolate chips because the ones I found were slightly smaller than the ones sold in the states. I also measured my flour by measured tablespoons. (32 tablespoons) to have the best results. I beated the butter, sugars, vanilla and eggs but not the flour, I mixed it in with a wooden spoon then added the chocolate chips great recipe. wouldnt change a thing in the ingredients!

Actually, what you get from this is called manjar; that is sold here in chile. It is not the same as caramel, which is called caramelo in spanish. Caramel is more liquid while manjar is rich and thick. if you like the rich taste of this (which is very good) simply add milk to it(in a saucepan over medium-low heat) until it is the consistancy that you like. you can also make a mousse hope this helps! use one can of manjar with 3 cups whipping cream + 1 tbsp confectioners sugar. whip the cream and add the sugar. fold in manjar This is not a dangerous recipe as long as the pan always has water, it has been called a dangerous method because some people tend get distracted because it takes so much time. as long as you babysitt it .. it will be fine i give it a 5 because it has great taste, even better than some of the manjar sold in chile. try it with toasted bread, apples, graham crackers or try the torta de hojas here.. yum! Update: I cant believe some people say this doesnt taste good or it was a waste of ingredients!!! you can make sooo many things with manjar. its a thicker buttery milky type of caramel sauce. when you make it this way its thicker than the ones that they sell in chile or argentina but its just a matter of adding whipping cream as I said. You really wont regret this! I will upload a photo of manjar that is sold in chile so you can see the thickness that you will get because the one that i buy is very thick as i like to spread it on bread!

Hi everyone! so, i live in chile where this is a very popular cake. But it is a very intense cake, a little piece will go a loooooooong way, thats why several bakerys here have started to include pastry cream in it. so along with the "manjar" that is the thickend condensed milk, you put one layer of pastry cream and one layer of manjar. To make the manjar more spreadable you need to do this: whip up 3/4 cup of whipping cream and fold in to the manjar. this makes a less intense cake. if you want the intense cake use the manjar mixture without the pastry cream layers. if you use the pastry cream it will still be very intense! You can also make 3 different layeres: whipping cream, pastry cream and manjar. this will make it a lighter cake, BUT STILL INTENSE! to decorate spread a thin layer of manjar over and around the cake and sprinkle generously with walnuts. it can also be shredded coconut. you can be creative with this. people here even make it with manjar, raspberry jam and pastry cream!
