Chocolate chip cookies

  Oh my goodness, I am so excited today about sharing this delicious recipe with you. If you are a fan of chocolate chip cookies you will LOVE these bad boys! They are soft and gooey and just fabulous. The more chocolate you use and the bigger the chunks the better they are I would say, but then that is coming from the chocoholic that I am. I have converted many of my friends and  I'm sure they will agree with me when I say they are not only super delicious but also super easy to make.   Here's what you need:  250g plain flour 1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 170g unsalted butter, softened or melted 200g dark brown soft sugar 100g caster sugar 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1 egg 1 egg yolk 325g chocolate chips   Here's what you do: Preheat your oven to 170 Celsius (metric system I know, sorry!)

In a bowl cream together the butter, brown sugar and caster sugar until well blended. Next beat in the vanilla followed by the egg and egg yolk.

 Mix in the flower and bicarbonate of soda until just blended.  Stir in the chocolate chips using a wooden spoon, as you can see I used two varieties of chocolate there. The more the better!  

Drop tablespoons of the dough onto oven trays lined with baking paper You should be able to make 16-18 cookies Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. The edges should look crispy, the middle still soft. Let cool on a wire rack.

Enjoy! I love these best when they are still slightly warm.   So there you have it. I really do hope you'll give these a try. You'll thank me for it.   Have a great weekend!
