Sneaky Snack Sundays - Chocolate Chip Cookies

12:57:00

Happy Sunday everyone! Today I will be showing you how to cook my favourite chocolate chip cookies. I found this recipe about 6 years ago, and have not used another chocolate chip cookie recipe since finding this one. It is an extremely easy recipe, and you can change it to all suit your tastes/dietary requirements. (Recipe from Taste.com).

Ingredients:

150g Butter

½ Cup Caster Sugar

½ Cup Brown Sugar

1 Tsp Vanilla Extract

1 Egg

1 ¾ Cup Plain Flour

½ Cup Milk Chocolate Bits

½ Cup White Chocolate Bits

Method:

1. Preheat your over to 160° and line two baking trays with baking paper. Beat your softened butter with both sugars and vanilla extract until smooth, and then beat in the egg until just combined.

2. Change the mixer accessory from your wire whisk to a flat beater, and start mixing in the flour in small batches. Once all the flour is added and well combined, add in the chocolate bits and mix until they are even throughout the mixture.

3. Either spoon or roll your mixture into balls and place on your ready trays then press down slightly. Place into oven and bake for 15-18 minutes or until lightly golden. (They might look undercooked/too soft, but they will harden when they are cooling.) Allow them to cool on tray for a few minutes, as they will be too soft to handle, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.

These are easily made gluten free by replacing the plain flour with gluten free plain flour and making sure the chocolate bits are gluten free. (All Nestle chocolate bits are gluten free). The mixture is a lot stickier than the normal recipe, so you will need to use spoons to transfer onto your trays. They also spread out a lot when cooking; so make sure they are spaced out enough on the tray so they don’t run into each other. They cook just as well and taste just as good!
