150g caster sugar
150g soft brown sugar
200g butter
275g plain flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 egg
1 tbsp vanilla extract
400g milk chocolate
1. Preheat the oven to 200°C. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars.
2. Add the egg, followed by the flour and baking powder. Mix well.
3. Add in the vanilla extract. The mixture should start to come together into a dough, but if it's a bit dry and crumbly just add a tiny splash of milk.
4. Break up the chocolate into medium-sized chunks. I used two Dairy Milk bars; the first I broke up just using the squares on the bar, and the second I chopped up a little bit smaller using a sharp knife. Add the chocolate to the bowl and mix well to combine it with the dough.
5. Cover a baking tray with tin foil and roll out small balls of the dough. Unless you have a giant oven (of which I am well jel), you'll probably need to do it in batches - I did 6 cookies at a time.
6. Bake the first batch for 10-12 minutes, and remove from the oven once the edges start to turn golden brown. The cookies will need around another 20 minutes to set properly, so lift the foil off the baking tray and place on a flat surface to continue cooling.
7. Put a fresh piece of foil on the baking tray and repeat the process until all the mixture is used up.
8. Eat them warm straight out of the oven, or leave to cool and store in an airtight container.
Yum! What's your favourite flavour of cookie?

They look delicious - I love chocolate chip cookies! I think my favourite type has to be Oatmeal and Raisin though; maybe because they sound healthier than they actually are? ;-)

Ooh, these look pretty similar to the ones I make. I don't think you can beat plain old choc chip but I usually sprinkle a bit of sea salt on them before baking for an extra kick x
ReplyDeleteThese are mouthwatering. Can you believe I've never made chocolate chip cookies?!
