Milk chocolate chip cookies. Soft, chewy and delicious.
Ingredients (makes 15 – 20 cookies)
- 200 g dark muscovado sugar (you can use light, but I had dark in the cupboard)
- 115 g butter/marg
- 1 egg
- 200 g plain flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 200g milk chocolate, chopped into chunks (on reflection, I would add more – I wanted more chocolate… MORE!)
Of course you can use dark or plain chocolate – whatever you prefer!
Method
- Line two baking trays with baking paper and pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees C.
- Cream the butter and sugar together. Add the egg and mix together. Add the flour, baking powder and bicarb and stir until you have a dough. Mix in your chocolate chunks.
- Put small balls of the dough onto your baking trays (or larger if you want enormous cookies). The dough does flatten and spread during cooking – these before and after pictures will give you an idea…
Before… raw cookie dough.
After. On the cooling rack.
Bake for about 10 minutes then leave to cool on a cooling rack. Or scoff while still warm – that’s when I think they’re best!

Mmmmm, I wonder how these would work with gluten free flour? Maybe I will give them a try, they look delicious.

I think they should work fine. I think the sugar and butter are the most critical ingredients (and of course the chocolate! ). 🙂

Mmmmmm, I used to make very similar where I used chunks of galaxy chocolate. Mouth is watering a little remembering! I will have to try these as I lost the recipe book years ago.

I couldn’t do that – because I’d eat the entire batch in one go. I suppose I could blame the toddler… haha! 😉

Isn’t it vitally important to properly test all new recipes ideas as a chef? Especially to eat the whole batch just to ensure even spread of ingredients? Sure that is so!! I blame the kids or the dog, (dog once ate an entire 12 egg quiche so pretty believable!! 😂)

I would love to be able to speak Arabic – that is such a wonderful skill, such a difficult language. I’m always in awe of anyone who can speak a language with a non-roman alphabet!
