Saturday Bakes!

Although I am definitely still a novice I really enjoy baking and feel that the fun is in the learning. Today I made some chocolate chip cookies from the Love Food Baking Book (pg 132). Tip: Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack before trying them as the gooey chocolate gets really hot and will burn your tongue! Mine have gone a bit crumbly in texture which I'm not sure they're supposed to be like but they're still tasty, just best enjoyed with a drink! If you fancy giving them a go here's the recipe.


Ingredients:
225g butter, softened
140g caster sugar
1 egg yolk
2 tsp vanilla extract
225g plain flour
pinch of salt
85g milk choc chips
85g white choc chips
115g plain choc, roughly chopped


1. Preheat oven to 190C and line two baking trays with greaseproof paper
2. Cream the sugar and butter with a wooden spoon and then beat in the egg yolk and vanilla extract
3. Sift together the dry ingredients, add the chocolate chips and combine with the wet ingredients
4. Make 12 balls with the mixture and slightly flatten them on the tray and push in the chopped chocolate
5. Bake for 12-15 minutes and then allow to cool on a wire rack

Here's my attempt!
