HOW TO MAKE

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Makes 16-18 Ingredients

250g butter

250ml brown sugar

2 extra large eggs

5ml vanilla essence

600ml flour

Pinch of salt

5ml baking powder

5ml bicarbonate of soda 250g white or milk chocolate, roughly chopped

Cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and mix well. Beat in vanilla.

Sift together flour, salt, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda, and add to creamed mixture. Stir in the chocolate chips. Mix well.

Place balls of dough on a greased baking tray and flatten slightly.

Bake at 180°C for 10 to 15 minutes, until light golden-brown.

Place on a cooling rack to cool.

To freeze

Place the balls of raw dough in a foil container and freeze.

When required, remove from the freezer and place the balls of dough on a greased baking tray and bake as normal. It is not necessary to defrost the dough, although it may take slightly longer to bake the dough from frozen.

Use an ice-cream scoop to measure the dough into equal-sized balls. Dip your scoop into hot water before scooping up some dough and placing it on a baking tray or into the freezer container.
