The past few days I have been experiencing a craving for cookies! It sounds weird I know, but sometimes I just crave random things from fruit to sweets.
So, I this week, thought I would turn my craving into a sweet treat for Valentines day! I got this recipe from Tanya Burr and oh my goodness they are AMAZING!
You will need:
200g butter
300g caster sugar
1 large egg
275g self raising flour
75g coco powder
1 bar of dairy milk
1 bar of white chocolate
Step 1: Pre heat your oven to 200 degrees
Step 2: Prepare you baking trays by lining them with grease prof paper
Step 3: Add the caster sugar and butter into a mixing bowl. Tip: add the sugar first so it won't stick to the butter.
Step 4: Stir until light and soft. Tip: You can use a mixer, however I used a classic wooden spoon and it worked just as good.
Step 5: Add the egg and mix together
Step 6: Add in the flour and coco powder. Tip: if you are hand mixing it, don't put it all into the bowl at once, try adding a little at a time.
Step 7: Break up your chocolate and add into the mixture. Tip: if you are finding it hard to mix the chunks in with the spoon, just use your hands!
Step 8: Section the dough into balls and place them onto your baking trays. You can make them as big or small as you like.
Step 9: Place in the oven for 10-15 minutes. Tip: They will not look cooked when you take them out the oven. I did get worried when placing a knife in the centre and the mixture being on it when pulling it out, however it does harden when cooling.
Step 10: Leave to cool for 5 minutes. Tip: If you leave it too long, it may be hard to cut into shapes.
Step 11: Using a heart shaped cookie cutter, cut your cookies into shapes.
Step 12: Leave to cool for a further 25 minutes.
Enjoy!
