My lil choc chip cookie recipe... They have been a huge hit with everyone who has tried them so far...
Ingredients
Serves: 12
- 75g demerara sugar
- 75g Utterly Butterly margarine
- 1 egg
- 150g self-raising flour
- 200g Cadbury's chocolate, chopped into very small bits

Ready in:50min
- Preheat oven to 180 C / Gas 4.
- Cream the margarine and sugar using a wooden spoon. Beat in the egg and vanilla, with a whisk, until light and smooth (frothy). Add flour, salt and chocolate to mixture, then stir in using wooden spoon.
- Grease 2 'baking trays', using margarine. Place mixture on trays, in small spoonfulls, making sure there is at least 2cm space around each.
- Bake in oven for 15 mins. Turn oven up to 220 C / Gas Mark 7 and bake for a further 5 mins. Your cookies should now be nicely browned. Take from the oven and leave to cool. Once cooled carefully lift from trays using a metal spatula.
Cook's tip
Don't forget to check on the cookies after 7 1/2 mins. They may need to be swapped on shelves (1 tray moved up, the other down). Then again 2 1/2 mins after turned gas mark up.

Altered ingredient amounts. I added extra raisins as well as the choccy chips and I used caster sugar (just because I didn't have any demerara in!) - 12 Mar 2010
Not sure about this recipe,had to make quite a few changes ,stork instead of butterly,half chopped nuts and half choc,plus use plain flour or they look like cakes. Only makes 9 decent sized cookies,would definately make extra next time as my kids like their cookies big! If use the recipe again,soft brown sugar would give a nicer looking,softer cookie. - 03 Dec 2011
