Method
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line 1-2 baking sheets with baking parchment. Mix the sugars and butter together with a wooden spoon, then add the egg, vanilla, flour and half the melted milk chocolate and mix together. Stir in the white and plain chocolate chips or chunks, then use an ice-cream scoop or round tablespoon (like a measuring spoon) to scoop out balls of cookie dough and drop them straight onto the trays.
- Bake in batches for 8-9 mins until pale golden and still soft to touch – they will firm up as they cool. Carefully transfer to a wire rack as soon as they can be lifted up, then drizzle with the remaining melted chocolate.

Make these regularly, this week my daughters aged 8 & 10 made them unaided. However we don't add melted chocolate but chop chocolate into chunks and add them, delicious. Today made using basic dough and added smarties halfway through cooking (so they don't burn). All ready to eat whilst watching Dr Who finale - double treat.
FAB.... made these with my 3 year old - didnt put in plain choc as only had white so used all white choc chips. Also i put all the melted choc in the mix rather than half as stated as the mixture seeed really dry. Also added the 1/2 tsp bicarb as someone else had suggested and they turned out amaxing. Very sweet but thats ok with me!
Just cooked these and I understand what people mean by them being so sweet but clearly if you wanted something sweet then this is the sugar hit for you! These cookies turned out fantastic. After reading the comments before I was slightly put off especially as I'm not the most confident baker but they turned out great! I took up on someones advice of putting in some baking powder. Yummers!
I've made these quite a few times but with some alterations.
I melt Dark mint chocolate (e.g. Lindt Mint Intense or you could use dark chocolate and 1 tsp of mint essence) and I use the full 140g ish to combine into the biscuit mix. I leave out the vanilla essence. I then use the rest of 60g of mint chocolate and add some milk/dark/white chunks or chips (whatever I have). It is true that the chunks don't combine well but with the extra melted chocolate the dough is more stiff and really easy to make into balls with your hands. I press them down a little and bake for 10min in my fan oven. I don't both with the extra chocolate on top. They're really great with coffee instead of after dinner chocolates and just a little bit more grown up.
