Hello again! It hasn't been long since my last bake, but Alex has exams at the moment and needs a sugar high every couple of minutes! And he is wonderful. And laughs at my terrible blog posts.
I saw this recipe on another baking blog (Spork or Foon?) and had to try it as the pictures looked so good I almost drooled all over my mac! All the ingredients were in cups (darn American measurements!) and I halved the recipe so it was a bit of a mathematically challenging bake in actual fact!
Verdict: great, but the hunt for the best chocolate chip cookie goes on!
Chewy chocolate chip cookies (makes a bakers dozen)
Ingredients:
160 g plain flour
1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda
110 g butter, at room temperature
50 g granulated sugar
85 g soft brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
175 g milk chocolate chips
Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 150 degrees C (or up to 180 for less chewy cookies).
2) Cream together the butter and sugars until pale and fluffy.
3) Add the salt, vanilla and egg and mix together well.
4) In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and soda. Add to the egg mixture and mix until just combined.
5) Stir in the chocolate chip.
6) Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough about 2 inches apart on lined baking sheets.
7) Bake until the cookies are golden around the edges, but still soft in the centre (10 minutes roughly).
8) Remove from the oven and let cool on a baking sheet for 2 minutes (up to 4 for extra soft cookies). Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
9) Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
That's one happy customer!
