Weekend Baking: Chocolate Chip Cookies

September 24, 2011 By Spoonful of Sugar - 13 Comments

Sarah made up a big batch of chocolate chips cookies this weekend using a new recipe and I think it could become our favourite. It used a tin of condensed milk in the mixture which gave the cookies a lovely crumbly and chewy texture, whilst still being light and crisp on the outside. Not sure how many of these will be left for the lunch boxes this week – they are disappearing quickly. Sarah found the recipe over at Figs and Brie.
Ingredients
  • 180 g butter
  • 1/3 cup caster sugar
  • 395 g sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 1/2 cups self raising flour
  • 250 g dark chocolate chips

Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 180°C

 

  • Beat butter and sugar until creamy, then beat in sweetened condensed milk
  • Stir in flour, then dark chocolate chips, mix well
  • Roll heaped tablespoonfuls of mixture into balls, place on oven trays and press down gently
  • Bake for 15 minutes until golden.

    I have an almost identical recipe in my collection. I try not to make them very often because they are seriously addictive. Mostly gone in under 2 days!

    Love this recipe – it’s an old favorite in our family! The mixture freezes really well, so I normally make up Half and freeze half so there is always some freshly bake biscuits on hand after half an hour. Try substituting the dark choc for white choc and craisins for Xmas biscuits.

Weekend Baking: Chocolate Chip Cookies

August 28, 2011 By Spoonful of Sugar - 12 Comments

Sarah is on the mend again after her nasty virus that has plagued her over the past 2 weeks. She has spent the weekend competing in the Tournament of Minds (where she put her creativity to the test in a different way) and catching up on school work. During a break this afternoon she whipped up a batch of her favourite Chocolate Chip Cookies – a tried and tested recipe that taste delicious with a cold glass of milk. They also freeze well for the school lunches this week.

What we like about these cookies is that they don’t have too much butter, and are crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside.
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons golden syrup or honey
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups of plain or all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 160 degrees C (325°F.)
In a large bowl, beat butter and brown sugar until well combined. Add egg, syrup and vanilla and beat until smooth.
Add the flour, baking soda and salt  to the butter-sugar mixture and stir by hand until almost combined; add chocolate chips and stir just until blended.
Drop spoonfuls of dough (or use a small ice-cream scoop) about  5 cm or 2” apart on a cookie sheet that has been sprayed with nonstick spray. Flatten each a little with a fork.  Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until pale golden and set around the edges but still soft in the middle. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Makes 20 cookies.

If you have been baking something recently, we would love for you to join in the fun and link your recipe up below.
