I love baking, as do many! With revising for exams and everything else going on, I've been baking a lot recently as my downtime in the late evenings so that I have to think about something else. I've got my own version of chocolate chip cookies that I've used for years and have tweaked to what I think to be a perfect recipe. But, lately I've wanted to try something new and seeing both Tanya Burr and Vivianna Does Makeup's cookie recipes, I just couldn't resist! (I noticed they're quite similar recipes as well) So I've chosen to mix them together a bit and even if I do say so myself they taste great!
Ingredients (Makes 12 Cookies):
275g Self Raising Flour
150g Caster Sugar
200g Unsalted Butter (at room temperature)
1 Large Egg
75g Cocoa Powder (although sometimes I'm a bit generous with this, what can I say I'm a chocolate lover!)
About 150g of both White Chocolate and Milk Chocolate
A Splash of Milk
Method:
1. Cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy
2. Add the egg and mix well
3. Fold in all the dry ingredients (I find it easier to do this a bit at a time)
4. Break up the chocolate bars into chunks and stir into the mixture
5. If the mixture is looking a bit dry and not all mixed together, add a splash of milk just to add a little moisture
6. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper and scoop the mixture into 12 balls (make sure to place them far apart on the trays)
7. Place in a pre-heated oven at Gas Mark 6 for 10-12 minutes
8. Remove them and leave to cool for around 30 minutes
Have you made Tanya or Anna's cookies before? Let me know other recipes I should try!
