kcalIngredients
180 g plain flour
75 g light brown sugar
75 g caster sugar
120 g stork or softened butter
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1/4 tsp salt
150 g chocolate, broken into chunks – I used a mix of dark chocolate chips and milk chocolate buttons
Directions
- Pre-heat your oven to 180C/160C fan/gas mark 4.
- Cream the butter and sugars together until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- beat in the egg and vanilla extract. Once combined, stir in the flour, bicarbonate of soda, chocolate chunks and salt.
- Dollop 10-12 generous tablespoons of mixture onto lined baking sheets, leaving space for the cookies to spread.
- Bake in the oven for 12-14 minutes. They are ready when they firm-up on the outside but are still soft in the middle. Remember, they will continue to harden once they cool.
- Eat warm or at room temperature, on their own or with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container and eat within three days – which, won’t be hard!
A note on sugar – I rustled up some of these cookies recently when I was craving a sweet treat and didn’t have anything in the cupboards, or the energy to go to the shops. In place of caster sugar, or golden caster sugar, I used granulated, and it worked just as well. You can be flexible on chocolate too – white, milk, dark, or a combination, should all result in yummy, chewy cookies.
