Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

INGREDIENTS

150g unsalted butter or baking margarine, softened

150g soft brown sugar

1 egg, beaten

250g self-raising flour, sieved

2 tbsps cocoa powder

50g milk chocolate chips

50g white chocolate chips

1 tsp vanilla extract

METHOD

Preheat the oven to 180C, Gas 5.

Grease 2 large flat baking sheets.

Cream the butter and sugar together in a large mixing bowl using an electric whisk.

Add the egg, vanilla, cocoa powder and half the flour and whisk.

Stir in the chocolate chips.

Stir in the remaining flour using a metal spoon until a dough forms.

If the mixture is too sticky add a little more flour, if it is too dry add more egg.

Divide the dough into 2 and each of these into 6 small balls.

Flatten each ball and place on the baking sheets making sure they are evenly spaced.

Bake in the centre of the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until golden at the edges.

They will crisp up as they cool.

Using a metal slice place them on a cooling rack.

Serve or store in an airtight container.
