Cookies aux pépites de chocolat

Ingrédients

• 75 g Block Margarine or Butter (at room temperature)
• 125 g Caster Sugar
• 1 tbsp Golden Syrup (see Golden Syrup note below)
• 125 g Self-raising Flour (see Self-raising Flour note below)
• 1 tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
• 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 100 g Milk Chocolate (chips or chopped)

Préparation

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 180°c (160°c for fan-assisted ovens, Gas Mark 3 or 350°F) and lightly grease a couple of baking sheet. Set aside.

2. 2

   Cream together your butter and sugar, until light and fluffy. Add your golden syrup & vanilla, and stir until combined.

3. 3

   Add your chocolate chips and stir through, before sifting in the flour & bicarbonate of soda. Mix until combined (you may need to use your hands to bring the dough together).

4. 4

   Spoon out a heaped teaspoon amount of your dough and roughly roll into a small ball. Place the ball onto your pre-greased baking tray, and repeat with the rest of the mixture, leaving a bit of space between each.

5. 5

   Bake for around 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet - they may appear a little puffed up when you first remove them from the oven, but they will flatten out as they cool.
