Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas mark 5 and line a flat baking sheet with grease proof paper.
  2. Cream the butter and sugar together and then mix in the egg and essence.
  3. mix in half the flour and then the choc chips. Stir until the chocolate is mixed nicely and evenly through the mixture.
  4. Add in the remaining flour and baking powder until the mixture consumes all the dry ingredients.
  5. You can then either put dessert spoon dollops onto the baking tray and bake for 12 mins or until just browning. OR you can squash into a thin square shape on clingfilm and place in the fridge for an hour.
  6. Remove the dough from the fridge and cut into approx 30 peices. Roll these into balls and put onto the baking tray and into the oven for 7 mins.
  7. After 7 mins take out of the oven and press down each ball with the back of a spoon in the middle until slightly spread. Return to the oven for another 7 mins or until browned.
  8. Remove from oven and cool on a wire wrack- or eat warm!!

    As someone who has rarely baked since school cookery lessons, I found this to be an easy, successful recipe. And an extra bonus point for use of the word "dollop"!

    Found these to be a bit dry and thick - my own fault, I was wanting a flat gooey cookie whereas these are quite a dense biscuit.

    I am a keen Baker and Cook to the extent of baking for commission. I have brought many cookies from shops, bakeries and food markets and have made many...but with out a doubt this cookie recipe is the BEST. I've done 2 batches and both were successful and very popular with my friends and family. The first batch I used golden sugar, dark brown and white sugar. The second batch I used dark brown sugar and light brown and added peanut butter. What a dream. They're so lovely, not gooey, but not at all crunchy, they're I'm between. I always used two types of chocolate and not chips, I broke up chocolate bars for bigger melted bits of chocolate in the final result. Try warming in microwave for 30 seconds and serving with honeycomb ice cream. Lovely jumbled, well done Robyn...cracking job.

    I forgot to add the baking powder and still they were great! I used all dark chocolate chunks and chips, too.

    I ran out of plain flour so added a mixture of SF and Coco powder...seemed to work a treat. (You just have to push them down half way through cooking so they don't rise too much) :-)

    Hi Carol Its been ages since i last made these.. As far as i remember they are at their best for the first 3 - 4 days although i suppose it depends how you store them. I havent tried it but i should think it would be OK to freeze the dough. Hope that helps :) x

    This recipe lists Baking Powder as an ingredient and then forgets to include it in the instructions. No wonder some people turned out with very dense biscuits! Please revise. Thank you.

    Ideal recipe to do with small children. We added a dash of milk at the end of mixing which I'm glad we did as I think it they'd have been a little bit to dry without. These make a nice alternative to cookies.

    wow Marsha, it's not rocket science as to when to include the baking powder! I have amended but think 1 star is a bit unfair really!!!

    I can't believe how many people think this is such a good recipe. This is the worst cookie recipe i have ever used,the quantities seem all wrong and the outcome is not anything like a biscuit,far too dense for my liking.
