Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients:
300g Green & Black’s Milk Chocolate
50g Green & Black’s Cocoa Powder
200 G Plain Flour
175 G Melted Butter
200 G Light Muscovado Fairtrade Sugar
100 G Golden Caster Fairtrade Sugar
1/2 Tsp Bicarbonate Of Soda
A Pinch Of Salt
1 Medium Egg Plus One Egg Yolk
Method:
Preheat your oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4.
Mix the butter and the sugars in a bowl. Beat with an electric whisk or a stand up mixer until thoroughly combined. Beat in the egg and yolk until the mixture changes to a light and creamy colour.
Sift the flour with the bicarbonate of soda, cocoa and salt and combine with the sugar mixture. Break the chocolate into chunks and fold in.
Place balls of the mixture (about half a handful) a couple of inches apart on a baking sheet. You may need to use more than one sheet or do them in batches. Squish them down a little and bake for approximately ten minutes or until slightly darker at the edges but not burnt (you should be able to smell when they are ready).
