This is my favourite choc chip cookie recipe and is very easy, perfect for Kids. You can vary it by adding some nuts instead of choc chips or combine the two. To make these cookies ‘eastery’ I put a mini egg on top of each dollop of mixture, not a total success as you can see some of these cracked.
Also included is a photo of some Easter cup cakes I made this week. They are iced to look (loosely) like nests complete with mini eggs, but here the piece de resistance(s) are the very kitsch wire chicks that I remembered from my childhood and couldn’t resist buying in a pound shop.
Choc Chip Cookies - makes 16-20
125g / 4oz Butter or Marg
50g / 2oz soft brown sugar or golden caster
1 egg beaten
150g / 5oz Self raising flour
175g / 6oz plain chocolate chopped or chocolate drops (I find that 100g of chocolate drops and 50g of nuts like hazel nuts is enough)
Instructions
Heat the oven to 180oC and grease two baking sheets
Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy
Beat in the egg
Sift in the flour and mix
Add the chocolate chips and nuts if using
Put teaspoons of the mixture well spaced on the baking sheets and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden.
Carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool, they are a little fragile warm but will firm up as they cool.
