Choc chip cookie recipe!

Today I thought I would spice things up a bit and do something I have never done before here on my blog! A cooking post! I absolutely love baking and thought that my favourite cookie recipe was perfect to share with you. These treats are super easy to make and taste absolutely incredible! So, lets get started!

What you will need

• 50g of softened, salted butter

• 80g of light brown muscovado sugar

• 80g of granulated sugar

• 2tsp of vanilla extract

• 1 large egg

• 225g of plain flour

• 1/4 tsp of salt

• 1/2 tsp of bicarbonate of soda

• 200g of plain milk/dark/white chocolate pieces or chips  (I used a 200g chocolate bar and broke it up into pieces)

Method

Now for the fun part! These cookies take around 15 minutes to make and then a further 12 minutes to bake, so it really is quick! Start off by pre-heating your oven to 190C or fan/gas mark 5. Also, line 2 baking trays with grease proof paper.

1. Start by putting the softened butter and both types of sugar into a large mixing bowl and then beat until creamy. Beat in the vanilla extract and the egg as well.

2. Sieve in the rest of the dry ingredients and mix together with a wooden spoon. Then add your chocolate pieces/chips into the mixture and continue to stir until all the chocolate has been combined.

3. Using a teaspoon, place small amounts of the cookie dough onto the trays, spacing them well apart  so they have room to flatten out.

4. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes. You want to wait until the edges have gone light brown but the middle is still soft.

5. When you have taken them out of the oven, leave on the baking trays for a few minutes to ensure they have firmed up, and then transfer them carefully onto cooling racks to cool completely.


And thats it! Honestly, these taste amazing and are perfect slightly warm as well as when they have cooled down! I hope you have enjoyed this different style post and you will be hearing from me again very soon!

Much love,
