Chocolate Heaven in a Cookie
These have got to be the most amazing chocolate cookies I've ever made, give them a go and you just wont be able to control the urge to eat them as soon as they're out of the oven!
You will need:
150g plain flour
Half a teaspoon baking powder
35g cocoa powder
150g dark chocolate, at least 60% cocoa
110g butter
200g dark brown soft sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
300g milk chocolate chips
Method:
Preheat oven to gas mark 5/180*C.
Sieve the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder in a bowl and set aside. Melt the dark chocolate in a bowl either over simmering water or in a microwave. Set aside to cool whilst you prepare the other ingredients.
Cream the butter and sugar in another large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time and add the vanilla extract. Pour in the melted chocolate and milk chocolate chips and stir well. Finally, fold in the flour mixture until you get a gloriously lumpy choccy mess. Spoon about 1 tsp size amounts on a baking sheet, spaced well apart as they will spread as they cook.
Bake in the oven for 10 minutes then allow to cool before transferring to a cooling rack (if they make it that far!). Enjoy with or without a glass of milk!
