I am posting this recipe so that I can remember it for future use. some of the reviews have mentioned that the sugar can be cut down by 1/2 because of the use of golden syrup. Ingredients:
100 g butter (softened) or 100 g margarine (softened) |
100 g soft brown sugar |
1 tablespoon golden syrup or 1 tablespoon honey |
150 g self raising flour |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional) |
50 g chocolate chips or 50 g smarties candies |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 170°C/160°C fan/Gas 3.
2. Beat the butter, sugar and syrup together until soft and creamy.
3. Mix in the flour, vanilla extract and add the chocolate chips.
4. Divide the mixture into about 15 pieces and roll into balls using your hands.
5. Place well apart on greased baking sheets. Do not flatten them.
6. Bake for about 10 mins until a pale golden colour (don't cook any longer or they'll go crispy!).
7. Leave to cool on the tray for a few minutes and then remove from the tray and finish cooling on a wire rack.
8. Variations:.
9. Use any combination of raisins, chopped glace cherries, dates, dried apricots, nuts etc instead of chocolate chips if preferred.
10. For double chocolate cookies, replace 2 tbsp of the flour with 2 tbsp cocoa.
11. Use dairy-free marg and choc chips for vegan/dairy-free cookies.
