Chocolate Cookies
Makes 12-15 cookies
Ingredients
- 175 grams light brown soft sugar
- 75 grams butter
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100 grams plain flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 25 grams cocoa powder
- 125 grams dark chocolate
- 50 grams chocolate chips or chunks
Method
- Cream together the butter and sugar in a large bowl
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract
- Add the flour, baking powder and cocoa powder and mix together
- Melt the chocolate in a separate bowl and then add to the mixture to form a stiff dough
- Mix in the chocolate chips and chill in the fridge for 15 minutes
- Divide up and form the mixture into 12-15 golf-ball sized lumps, and flatten each one into a 1cm thick disk with your hands
At this point, they can either be baked straight away or frozen for later use. To bake:
- Preheat the oven to 160C(fan)/180C(conventional)
- Lay out the cookies on non-stick baking paper on a baking tray, leaving plenty of space between them.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes (fresh) or 14-16 minutes (frozen)
- They will still be very soft when you take them out of the oven. Allow to cool and harden for at least 5-10 mins before eating.
