GIANT TRIPLE CHOCOLATE CHIP C KIES As we approach Valentines Day, there’s only one way to say “I Love You”, and that is through Chocolate. Not just one type, but how about a triple hit of it, via my Giant Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies. Come on, you know you want to.
INGREDIENTS: 125g butter 75g light brown sugar 50g caster sugar 125g dark chocolate 1 large egg 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 150g plain flour 30g cocoa powder 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda ½ teaspoon salt 125g dark chocolate chips 125g milk chocolate chips 100g white chocolate chips Makes 12 Giant Cookies
Preheat the oven to 170° or fan 160° and have 2 baking trays ready, which have been lined with greaseproof paper. In a free standing mixer, add the butter, light brown sugar, caster sugar and beat until well combined. Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave and add this to the mixer along with the egg, vanilla extract and give it another mix. In a separate bowl mix together the plain flour, cocoa powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt. With the mixer on add this dry mix, 1 tablespoon at a time, to the mixer until well combined. Now add all the chocolate chips and mix well. Take a tablespoon and divide the mixture into 12 rough balls, placing six on each tray making sure you leave enough room in between each one. Place trays in the oven and cook for 18 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave on the baking trays for 5 minutes. Place the cookies on a cooling rack so they continue to cool and harden. Once cooled, eat at your pleasure and remember to share, let’s not forget; it is Valentine’s Day after all.
