Preparation method
Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 15 mins1.
Preheat the oven to 170 C / Gas mark 3. Grease baking trays or line with parchment.
2.
Sift together the flour, bicarb and salt; set aside.
3.
In a medium bowl, cream together the melted butter, brown sugar and caster sugar until well blended. Beat in the vanilla, egg and egg yolk until light and creamy. Mix in the sifted ingredients until just blended. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand using a wooden spoon. Drop cookie dough onto the prepared baking trays, with each cookie around 4 tablespoons of dough (for smaller cookies, drop 1 rounded tablespoonful and adjust baking time as necessary). Do not flatten the dough. Cookies should be about 8cm apart.
4.
Bake for 15 to 17 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are lightly toasted. Cool on baking trays for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

This is my go to recipe for cookies, it's amazing! When you take them out you think they're not cooked but as they cool they become perfectly gooey. My friend has just been diagnosed as coeliac so I was wondering, would I be able to cook these as normal but instead just use gluten free flour? I've never used it before so any help would be great, thanks!

Nice easy recipe. I had to beat the butter, egg, sugar mix for ages before it got light and fluffy but it was worth it as they rose as well as spread out. Definitely recommend using a good vanilla extract rather than vanilla flavouring. Cookies disappeared very quickly. The kids say they are innocent. Hmmm.

Amazing! This is such a good cookie recipe! Me and my boyfriend demolished them within two days they're so more-ish!
I changed a few bits, I:
-didn't melt the butter myself
-instead of choc chips I used chopped up chocolate (more money efficient!)
-used self raising flour instead of plain and bicarbonate of soda
-No vanilla extract
