I've been in a big baking mood recently and I wanted to share a recipe I came across with you. I think it's a perfect recipe to go with the crazy weather and these cookies are perfect for picnics in the sun, or with a cup of tea with the rain hammering down outside...They've also been tried and tested on my boyfriend and house mates and seemed to go down well!
As always, enjoy, and please ask if you've got any questions about the recipe or method!
Makes 12-14 cookies
These cookies are a little bit crisp on the outside, and lovely and gooey on the inside...Mmm
Ingredients-
125g Butter
100g Light, soft brown sugar
125g Caster Sugar
1 Egg- Beaten
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
225g Self Raising Flour- Or 225g Plain Flour and 1.5 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
200g Chocolate Chips
1) Preheat your oven to 180C and line your baking trays with baking parchment You want to space the cookies out well as they will spread during cooking, so 2 or 3 trays will be enough.
2) Cream the butter and both sugars in a bowl until the mixture turns lighter in colour, and "fluffy" a couple of minutes should be enough.
3) Add the beaten egg and the vanilla extract to the cream mixture and mix again.
4) Sift the flour and the salt over the mixture and mix through.
5) Add the chocolate chips and mix so they are evenly through the mixture.
6) Take approximately 1 heaped tablespoon of the mixture, and place it onto the lined baking tray- Making sure to leave space between each cookie.
7) Cook for approximately 10-12 minutes, depending on how gooey you want them in the middle.
8) When you've taken them out of the oven let them cool on the trays for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
9) EAT!!! They are delicious when still warm, but will last well in an air tight container until the weather gets a bit warmer for that picnic!
