CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

These are delicious but something to pass on to others for me, personally I’m not really tempted to eat loads so there is no danger in making a batch. Call me strange but I’m more a vanilla kind of girl.

Ingredients for 48 cookies:

  • 4 eggs
  • 285 grams flour
  • 120 grams unsalted softened butter
  • 220 grams brown sugar
  • 100 grams white granulated sugar
  • 280 grams bittersweet chocolate
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon powered instant espresso
  • 400 grams milk chocolate chopped in little pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 175°C
  • Place a bowl over a saucepan with simmering water. Break up the bittersweet chocolate and let it melt.
  • Cream together the butter, white granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Slowly mix in the eggs.
  • In a separate bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and espresso powder.
  • Add half of the flour mixture to the previously made batter and mix well. Add half of the melted chocolate and stir until everything is incorporated. Add the remaining flour and melted chocolate.
  • Stir in the milk chocolate
  • Prepare your baking tray with parchment paper so the cookies won’t stick. Just to be sure I always l dip a bit of vegetable oil on the paper, it makes it so much easier to get the cookies off!
  • Bake them in the oven for about 15 minutes.

Let them cool (if you can wait that long!) and enjoy!!
