Finding a good cookie recipe always used to seem so hard! Never really being able to match the ones you might get in coffee shops and in the £1.50 packets you get in the fresh bakery isle in supermarkets but honestly this is the best cookie recipe by far that works every time for me and I highly recommend it!

These American style cookies are chewy and soft, not to forget triple chocolate. Truly irresistible and just the recipe you’ve been looking for 😉 Give them a go and I’m sure all your friends will be impressed.

Recipe

Servings: up to 16  Prep Time: 15mins Cooking Time: 10-12mins Type: Traybake  Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients

• 110g/4oz Butter
• 200g/7oz Soft light brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 165g/5 1/2 oz Plain flour
• Pinch of salt
• 1/2 tsp Baking powder
• 1/2 tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
• 30g/1 1/2oz Cocoa Powder
• 100g/3 1/2 oz White chocolate chips
• 100g/3 1/2 oz Dark chocolate chips

1. Preheat the oven to 190 oc or gas mark 5 and line two baking trays with greaseproof paper.

2. Mix together the butter and sugar.

3. Once combined, add the egg and vanilla, mix well. Add the flour, salt, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and cocoa powder – this should form a stiff dough.

4. Add the chocolate chips. I don’t tend to buy chocolate chips instead I use a chocolate bar! (cheaper and generally better quality!). Just use a strong knife to chop the chocolate up in to little homemade chips.

5. Using a dessert spoon scoop up even balls of mixture, put them on the tray (fairly spaced apart) and press gently down using a fork. And that’s it! A super easy recipe! Bake them for around 10-12 minutes (they should be just starting to crack when you get them out). The cookies will seem soft but leave them to cool and they will be perfect :).
