Nigella's Totally Chocolate Chip Cookies

Normally I make my own recipe for cookies (from memory every time - never bothered to write it down) but I decided to try Nigella Lawson's recipe for triple chocolate chip cookies and they are seriously delicious.

I reduced the cooking time because I also reduced the size of the cookies (I thought 12 out of a mixture that used 1/2 kilo of chocolate was slightly excessive) but do as you like : )

125g butter (room temp)

75g brown sugar
50g white sugar

125g 70% cocoa dark chocolat

1 egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

150g flour
30g of good quality cocoa powder
1 level teaspoon bi-carb soda
1/2 teaspoon of table salt
150g of milk chocolate chips
150g of white chocolate chips

1. Preheat the oven to 170 degrees celsius
2. Cream the butter and sugar
3. Melt the chocolate over a double boiler and then add to the butter and sugar
4. Add the egg and vanilla extract and combine again until smooth
5. Add the flour, cocoa, salt and bi-carb and mix until combined before adding the chocolate chips
6. Using an ice cream scoop, scoop out the mixture onto 2 trays into 18 cookies of even size.  You don't need to flatten the cookies
7. Bake for 12-14 minutes
8. Leave to cool on the baking tray slightly and then transfer to the cooling rack until completely cool

Enjoy : ) xx
