Ready in:40min
- Preheat oven to 180 C / Gas 4.
- Cream together the butter, margarine, sugar and vanilla.
- Sieve together the flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt. Add to sugar mixture and mix well, being careful not to over mix.
- Drop heaped teaspoons of the dough onto ungreased baking trays. Flatten each one with a fork (dip fork into small bowl of water so that dough doesn't stick to fork). Do this once or twice, depending on the size of cookie and fork.
- Bake for 13 to 15 minutes. After each tray is removed from oven, carefully place 5 or 6 chocolate chips on top of each cookie while they are still hot. When chocolate is glossy and soft, spread with knife.

I think that these turned out great! I didn't modify the ingredients at all, but I did modify the process of making them. I flattened them with my hand and then used a round cookie cutter to shape each cookie. During the last 5 minutes of baking I carefully placed the chocolate chips on the cookies to ensure that they were melted so they would spread evenly. Doing it this way takes a little more time but I think the end result is worth it (as you can tell by the photo). I am going to try these in heart shapes and maybe use mint or orange extract instead of vanilla for Valentines day for my son's 2nd grade class. - 20 Jan 2006 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
My children and I made it for our school's annual Heritage Day. It was so easy! My kids said it was one of the best cookies they have ever had. - 09 Mar 2007 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
This cookie was extremely easy to make and turned out wonderful. I found it easier to use your hands to scoop the dough versus using teaspoons. And because the dough was a little crumbly I added 1/4 cup water. - 13 Apr 2004 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
