Our friends Emma and Geraint and their two little ones have just moved back to our home town. It's so nice to have them round the corner! We popped in today to welcome them to their new home and I made them a batch of these cookies as a house-warming present. The recipe is based on a Millie's Cookies recipe on the BBC Good Food website, and I used some brilliant giant chocolate buttons, but it would be just as good with ordinary chocolate chips or chunks of your favourite bar.
4 oz butter, softened
3 ½ oz light brown soft sugar
4 oz caster sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
7 ½ oz self-raising flour
½ tsp salt
7 oz giant chocolate buttons
Method
- Preheat the oven at 180°C and line a baking sheet.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla and mix well.
- Sift in the flour and salt and beat until a smooth dough is formed.
- Fold in the chocolate buttons.
- Scoop balls of dough onto the baking sheet, spaced 3 inches apart, and flatten slightly.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes until golden and slightly soft in the middle.
- Leave to cool slightly on the baking sheet before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
