I come bearing my cookie recipe :3
175g Self-raising Flour
1/2 tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
pinch of Salt
75g Stork margarine* (room temperature, cut into small cubes)
75g Castor Sugar
75g Soft Brown Sugar
1 Egg (preferably room temperature)
1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
150g Chocolate chunks (I personally use Galaxy)
*it's not actually margarine, it's "75% vegetable fat spread", I just use the word marge out of habit. It comes in 2 varieties: one in a plastic tub, one in a foil wrapper. You want the one in foil~
The recipe book just says "mix all ingredients", but I find it easiest this way:
-Sieve together flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt into a large mixing bowl.
-Add the rest of the dry ingredients and the "marge", and make a well in the centre.
-Add the egg and vanilla into this well, then gradually stir them into the dry ingredients
Place small amounts of dough (just over half a tsp worth) on a greased baking tray, well spaced apart. There are 2 ingredients that make these puff up quite a lot, I always misjudge and end up with siamese twin cookies >_>
You want an 190 degree C oven, middle shelf, for about 10-12 minutes. Keep an eye on them towards 10 minutes, like I said they puff up an awful lot. Wait for them to deflate again and they're done. You can take them out while they're still puffed, but the middle will be raw, and it's not very nice tbh.
I do lots of variations of this recipe whenever I have an excuse. Flavout combinations are easy, just keep the weights of wet to dry the same. For example I made toffee apple cookies using 75g toffee, 50g dried apple instead of the chocolate, and apple juice and cinnamon instead of vanilla extract.
