DIY | CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

        

 

The Christmas holidays are now with us, with no more college until next year, I've found myself sitting at home struck with boredom. For something to do, I decided to bake some simple chocolate chip cookies that could be enjoyed by me and my family. The recipe worked really well, so I thought why not share it with you guys. These could also be a great last minute gift idea for a friend or family member, as they are really easy to create but taste delicious!

 INGREDIENTS (enough for around 15 large cookies) : 

200g milk chocolate chips

225g self-raising flour

125g caster sugar

100g dark brown soft sugar

125g butter

1 egg, lightly beaten

1 tbsp vanilla extract

1/2 tbsp salt

EXTRAS:

wooden spoon

sieve

mixing bowl

baking tray

cooling rack

baking paper(optional)

cooling rack

1. Pre-heat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4. 

2. Make sure your butter is softened, then in a mixing bowl, combine the butter and both of the sugars. Once creamed, you can then add the egg and vanilla. 

3. Sift in your flour and salt, then stir in the chocolate chips.

4. Grease a baking tray with butter, or alternatively you can line it with baking paper. Roll your cookie dough into ball shapes, and place on the baking tray. They will spread out as they bake so make sure you don't place them too close together! You may need to bake the cookies in two batches, or use more than one tray.

5. Bake for around 10-15 minutes, depending on how soft you want your cookies to be. Remember when they cool they will slightly harden. Transfer to a cooling rack, and you're done!

I hope you liked this recipe, and be sure to let me know if you tried it out for yourself!
