Chocolate Chip Salted Cookies!

What better way to start this blog off than with a simple yet delicius cookie recipe! Sweet gooey chocolate mixed with a little salty taste is a perfect combination that results in eating one cookie, and then another, and another…

With so many cookie recipes out there I can’t claim this one to be extravagantly different or entirely my own, but it does have a few tweaks á la Evmb.

Ingredients:

150g salted butter, softened

80g light brown muscovado sugar

80g caster sugar

2 tsp vanilla extract

1 large egg

225g plain flour

1/2 tsp bicarbonate soda

1/3 tsp salt

125g white chocolate chips

125g milk chocolate chips

Method:

Preheat your oven to Gas mark 5/190C/fan 170C and line two large baking trays with greaseproof paper

Put the butter and both sugars into a mixing bowl and beat until creamy (it will not be completely smooth due to the sugar) and beat in the egg and vanilla extract
Sieve the flour, bicarbonate of soda and the salt into the bowl and mix it with a wooden spoon to form your dough. Add in the chocolate chips and mix them until evenly dispersed throughout the dough
Using a teaspoon, make small spoonfuls of mixture and place them on the lined baking trays, spacing them well apart enough they don’t merge. The mixture will make about 30 small cookies
Bake for 8-12 minutes on the middle shelf of the oven until they are golden on the outside but still slightly soft in the centre if pressed
Once cooked, leave them on their trays for 3-5 minutes and then transfer them onto a cooling tray to completely cool

Once your cookies have cooled you’re free to dig in!

By making these cookies yourself instead of buying from a shop you get the satisfaction as well as a clean conscience. A lot of store bought cookies contain palm oil. On this blog you will not find any recipes that contain palm oil and even good alternatives to shop products with them in. To find out why I feel strongly about this, read my next post.
