Chocolate Choc Chip Cookies - Like a Cookie from Heaven....

THE BEST cookies we have ever made & we like to make cookies -            a whole lot.


I think the best way to go here is to share the exact method & ingredients we used because seriously, these turned out so gosh darn good.


So you need -


2 1/4 cups of plain flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of salt
4 tablespoons of cocoa powder


250g butter (room temperature is key for the butter & the eggs!)
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar (we added a shake more)
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
2 eggs (+ 1 yolk)


1 cup of good quality choc chips (or equivalent chopped)


(this will make 60 cookies so feel free to cut in half although we did & now regret it)


& now DO THIS!! 


Pop the oven on to about 180 or 160 degrees fan-forced & cover two baking trays with baking paper.


Combine all your dry bits, flour, baking soda and cocoa in a small bowl (we sifted it all just to be sure we wouldn't get stuck with any lumps). Beat butter, sugars and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl, by hand is fine. Crack your eggs in & away you go. Mix in all your dry goodies to your wet goodies & stir through your choc chips and any other tasty stuff you might like such as nuts. 


Drop little chocolatey bundles (about a tablespoon in size) onto your baking trays with plenty of space between. The mixture will seem a bit tricky and wet but believe me - they will be awesome. 


Cook for 9 minutes (11 maximum). They will try to trick you into thinking they need more time but they really don't. 






Do it! Do it now!


Cook it Mofos.
