Recently, I bought my first Nigella Lawson book and told to my kids
they could choose a recipe to prepare together and surprise,
surprise!....They chose these delicious chocolate chip cookies.
If you
follow the instructions carefully and buy quality ingredients, you will
get delicious homemade cookies, nothing to envy from those you can buy
in the shops.
A delicious treat....
Ingridients
150 g soft unsalted butter
125 g soft light brown sugar
100g caster sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 egg fridge-cold
1 egg yolk fridge-cold
300 g flour
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
325 g milk chocolate morsels or chips
Preheat the oven to 170°C/325°F. Line a baking sheet with baking
parchment
Melt the butter and let it cool a bit. Put the brown and white sugars
into a bowl, pour the slightly cooled, melted butter over them and beat
together
Beat in the vanilla, the cold egg and cold egg yolk until your mixture
is light and creamy
Slowly mix in the flour and bicarb until just blended, then fold in the
chocolate chips
Scoop the cookie dough into an American quarter-cup measure or a
60ml/quarter cup round icecream scoop and drop onto the prepared baking
sheet, plopping the cookies down about 8cm/3 inches apart
You will need
to make these in 2 batches, keeping the bowl of cookie dough in the
fridge between batches
Bake for 15–17 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are
lightly toasted
Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before
transferring to wire racks
