Soft Baked Chocolate Chip Cookies
These are my favourite biscuits to bake with my young daughter at home as well as in school with my students. They always yield great results by following the easy steps in the recipe and watching my video. I can always swap the flavours so I never get bored of baking them.

Instructions

Making
- Place your sugar and butter into the bowl of your stand mixer and cream together. Use number 3 – medium speed.Tip: it will be lighter in colour when it is ready, around 2- 3 mins
- Crack your egg into a small bowl. Add a teasoon of flavour and whisk together. Tip: add a small splash of vanilla for fragrance no matter what flavour you have choosen.
- Add ½ of the egg and incorporate it fully. You will need to stop the mixer and scrape down the sides and the bottom with the spatula to ensure it has mixed thourougly. Then add the reminder of the egg mixtureTip: if your mixture splits (looks lumpy and bit icky) then add a spoon of your flour and it will fix the issue.
- Remove your bowl from your mixer. Sift flour into your mixer bowl. Return your bowl to your mixer.
- Beat on medium for 2- 4 mins until the flour is fully incorported. You will need to stop the mixer and scrape down the sides and the bottom with the spatula to ensure it has mixed thoroughly.
Baking
- Using the tablepoon to portion out your biscuit batter into 16 equal sized balls on your baking tray
- Bake in the centre of the oven for 12- 15 mins. (I usually do 13 mins)Tip: Bake for longer to get a very crunchy biscuit.
Storing
- Store in an airtight box in the fridge as they contain dairy. They should last up to 1 week
Notes
If you want to make double chocolate biscuits then just add 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder. Sift into the batter at the same time as the flour.
