Cook Time

8-10 minutes

Servings

Makes 14-16

Ingredients

• 125g unsalted butter
• 100g caster sugar
• 75g soft light brown sugar
• 1 medium egg, lightly beaten
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 150g plain flour
• ½ tsp baking powder
• pinch of salt
• 100g dark or milk chocolate, chopped into smallish chunks

Cookies, Chocolate

Directions

Preheat the oven to 190C/gas 5 and line 2 baking sheets with baking parchment. Gently melt the butter in a small saucepan. Put both sugars into a mixing bowl, pour in the melted butter and beat well with a wooden spoon. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into the bowl and stir them in, then add the chocolate. You should have a pretty sloppy sort of mixture. Dot heaped dessertspoonfuls of the mixture on to the baking sheets, leaving a good 4cm between them as they really spread out. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the cookies are turning pale golden brown. Remove from the oven and leave on the baking sheets for a couple of minutes to firm up. Then carefully lift the baking parchment on to a wire rack and leave to cool completely.

Can you use any milk chocolate or does it have to be cooking chocolate?

I have made these cookies for the second time and have turned excellent both times, however; I cannot stop my wife from troughing into them, they are meant to be for Christmas.
I am goimg to substitute the chochlate with Root Ginger to see how that turns out?
