Just before Christmas it was my Husbands birthday, normally I like to surprise him with a cake, however, this year it was not going to be that simple. My toddler is not a great assistant in the kitchen and so I would need him to watch her whilst I baked. So I thought I would leave it up to him to choose what he wanted for his birthday and he chose cookies:
Ingredients
- 200g of Plain Flour
- 50g of Cocoa
- 1/2 tsp of Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp of Salt
- 170g of Butter
- 200g of Brown Sugar
- 100g of Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1 Egg Yolk
- 400g of White Chocolate Chunks
Double Chocolate Cookies
Method
- Preheat the oven to 170C
- Line a baking tray with baking paper
- Sift the dry ingredients together and set aside
- In a bowl cream together the butter, brown sugar and caster sugar
- When smooth beat in the eggs until light and creamy
- Mix in the flour mixture gradually and combine together
- Finally add the white chocolate chunks and mix through
- Spoon dough onto the baking tray – I used a heaped tablespoon for each – do not flatten
- Make sure that each cookie is a few centimetres apart to allow for baking as they will spread
- Bake for around 13-15 minutes
- Once cooked take out of the oven and leave on the baking tray to cool
I made these and one other type of cookie, I will share that recipe next week, totally almost 70 cookies! It would have actually been quicker and easier to bake a big cake I think. Although I liked the impact of how that many cookies looked in the tin. I thought the other combination of flavours that I made would be my favourite, however I was pleasantly surprised with how these turned out, they were really delicious.
What is your favourite type of cookie? Let me know in the comments.
