Chewy Dark Chocolate Cookies ...


So here they are, the chocolate cookies that I was telling you about from Sunday ...
and absolutely delicious too!

I've added the recipe below for you if you fancy having a go with the kids this half term ...


Ingredients

250g self raising flour
1/2 tsp salt
170g unsalted butter
100g caster sugar
200g soft brown sugar
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 egg and 1 egg yolk
325g Dark chocolate chips or chunks




Method

Pre heat the oven to 170 degrees celcius

Sift the flour and salt and set aside;
Melt butter in a pan over a low heat on the stove;
Once melted add the sugar and blend well;
Beat/Whisk the vanilla extract and eggs until the mixture is creamy;
NB. MAKE SURE THAT THE BUTTER IS NOT TOO HOT BEFORE MIXING IN THE EGGS
OR THEY WILL COOK
Mix in the dry ingredients until they are just blended;
Grease a baking tray and use an ice cream scoop to scoop the mixture onto the baking tray to form the cookies.  Do not flatten the mixture, the baking process will cause the cookies to flatten and spread.

Bake for approx 20 minutes or until cooked. 

Leave to cool if you can and then enjoy with a lovely cup of coffee ... perfect!
