Choc Chip Cookies Anyone?
This is a great tasty treat! They can be eaten cold or straight from the oven and are definitely worth doing with the kids in the half term holiday!
Ingredients
100g/3½oz good dark chocolate
125g/4½oz unsalted butter
100g/3½oz granulated sugar
75g/2½oz soft brown sugar
1 free-range egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
150g/5¼oz plain flour
½ tsp baking powder
a pinch of salt
Method
Heat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5. Line two baking sheets with baking parchment then chop the chocolate into little chunks and set aside.
Heat the butter in a small saucepan very gently until it has just melted. Meanwhile, put the two types of sugar into a mixing bowl. Pour the melted butter on top of the sugars and beat well with a wooden spoon, the add the egg and the vanilla and beat until well blended.
Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into the mixing bowl and stir them in, then add the chopped chocolate.
Dot heaped pudding spoonfuls of the mixture over the lined baking sheets, leaving plenty of space in between them, they spread out a lot while baking.
Place the baking sheets in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, until the cookies are just turning golden brown. (If you have a glass door on your oven, watch the extraordinary transformation as these cookies bake–one moment you’ve got lumpy brown dough, the next, you have pale golden cookies)
Leave the cookies on the baking sheets to harden for a couple of minutes, then carefully lift up the baking parchment and transfer them to a wire cooling rack.
Enjoy! I know my lot will demolish them in minutes x
