Heyo and Welcome to the third edition of What Baking Can Do.
This blog will be full of recipes and tasty treats that you can make - hoping you have the ingredients! I hope that you will enjoy these blogs and perhaps you can even try a couple of recipes at home yourselves! :D
Now, my next recipe will be...
To begin with, I think we're going to need the ingredients...yes...that may be a good idea. SO, the things that you are going to need in order to make these scruptious cookies are...
- 225g (1 cup) caster sugar
- 300g (2 cups) plain flour (sifted)
- 200g (1 cup) of butter melted
- 1tsp vanilla extract
- 1tsp of baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- 1 egg
- 100g-200g chocolate bar or chocolate chips
- If you have any dietary requirements then you can substitue some of these ingredients for ones that they may have in the store to suit your needs. For example, changing normal butter into dairy butter for those who cannot have ordinary milk.
Firstly, you will need to make sure that all the ingredients have been measured out accurately. Once this is done add the sugar and melted butter in a bowl and mix together – a wooden spoon is fine, no need for a whisk.
Secondly, Sift the flour, baking powder, vanilla and salt together and add to the sugar and butter mixture. Add the chocolate chips at this stage if you’re making chocolate chip cookies. Mix together using your hand. Once you get a dough texture, add the egg and knead using your hand again.
Once this is done, Spread some butter onto a baking tray. Take some of the dough, roll into ball then flatten a little. Keep them on the small side as they spread out during baking. Also, don’t keep biscuits close to each other otherwise they will get stuck together.Place in the oven and bake at 160C, gas 3 for 10-20 mins. The bigger the cookies, the longer they’ll take to cook. They’re ready when the edges are a bit golden.
See you next time!
