After years of tweaking my chocolate chip cookie recipe, it is now ready for public consumption. It has been laboratory-tested on many of my friends all of whom seem to think its pretty great, as do I. They certainly aren't healthy, but its well worth the requisite post-cookie eating cardio workout. I hope it works for you as well as it has for me! Enjoy!
Prep: 15 mins
| Cook: 15 mins
| Extra time: 20 mins
1.
Preheat the oven to 150 C / Gas 2.
2.
Gently mix the flour, baking powder, bicarb and salt with a fork in a bowl. Beat the butter, brown sugar and caster sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Beat in the vanilla with the last egg. Mix in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips; mixing just enough to evenly combine.
3.
Divide the dough into 24 3-tablespoon-sized balls. Flatten the balls to about 6mm thick onto a baking tray.
4.
Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are golden, 15 to 17 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking tray until the centres begin to set, about 20 minutes.
haven't baked in ages and this was wonderful and easy. Though I used 1 tablespoon in the end as even 2 was a bit big =3
Definitely going to make some more =3
These cookies are amazing! I made them at Christmas for friends (along with other cakey bits) and they went down a storm
If you like Millie’s cookies, you’ll love these.
Christmas Spice and Chocolate Version
Great cookies. Now I made some modifications because it was Christmas, I removed the chocolate chips and replaced it with the following Christmassy flavours :
40 g ground pistachio,
grated peel from 1 orange,
grated peel from 1 lemon,
1 tsp groud cinnamon,
1/2 tsp ground cardamom,
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg,
1/8 tsp ground cloves,
1/4 tsp ground allspice,
1/8 tsp ground ginger,
Chocolate Topping :
2 bars of cookie chocolate (Dr Oetker), melted in a Bain Marie and poored over the top of the biscuits. Put the biscuits in the fridge for 20 minutes so the chocolate sets.
Wonderful rewarding biscuits.
my goodness exactly how I wanted them! SO delicious and fun to make ! Went down a hit gave to 3 neighbours and they came for more and also my family want some more so I will be making more maybe if you love chocolate add white choco chunks!
YUMMY! As always, I use dark chocolate chunks, smaller cookie @ 1.5/ 2tbsp of dough, and again as usual, never flatten, they spread nicely on their own. Excellent cookie. Chewey, just how I like them.
Are these the best cookies I have ever had? Will have to eat a few more of them before I make my mind up!!! The only changes I made was to swap out the chocolate chips for Cranberries and White Chocolate chips. I did think maybe there was a little too much flour in the recipe, It did made the dough a little crumbly to work with.
Altered ingredient amounts.
Added hazelnuts and used a combination of milk and white chocolate. Next time i'll add more chocolate for an even gooeyer texture.
Just made these. I've alredy tried 2 other recipes and right now these are my favourite. Not too sweet crispy and chewy. And a very professional finished apperance looks like store bought cookies more than home made.
