Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

The first food ever baked in space

Ingredients

250g flour 1⁄2 tsp bicarbonate of soda 170g salted butter, melted 150g soft brown sugar 100g sugar 1 cap vanilla extract 2 Clarence Court eggs 170g chocolate chunks

Method

Preheat the oven to 170�C. In a bowl, combine the flour and bicarb and set aside. In a separate medium sized bowl, cream together the melted butter, brown sugar, and caster sugar until combined.

Beat in the vanilla extract and eggs until light and creamy. Mix in the flour and bicarbonate of soda until just blended. Stir in the chocolate chips by hand using a wooden spoon. Put the dough onto the prepared baking trays, with each cookie around 4 tbsp of dough and around 8cm apart. Do not flatten the dough as this will happen naturally. Bake for 15 to 17 mins in the preheated oven, or until golden. Cool on the baking tray for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Hello!
