Rainy weekends are for curling up on the couch with a good book, or your favorite television show with a plate of decadent crunchy chocolate chip cookies… These cookies are quick and easy to bake, plus, they are a perfect gift idea. You don’t even have to bake them all up at once. The dough can be frozen, and baked at any time.

 Difficulty level – Very easy

Ingredients

• 1 cup, brown sugar
• 1 cup, white sugar
• 1 cup, melted butter
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon, vanilla essence
• 2 1/2 cups, all purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon, baking powder
• A pinch of salt
• 1 1/2 cups, chocolate chips

Makes 30 cookies

Method

• Preheat oven to 190°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a deep bowl, mix brown and white sugar.
• Add eggs, whisk. Add butter and vanilla essence. Mix to smooth paste.
• Add flour and baking powder. Mix thoroughly.
• Fold in chocolate chips.
• Using an ice cream scoop, spoon dough into baking tray. Let the cookies be 2 inches apart, as they will spread out in the oven.
• Place in center of the oven, leave to bake for approximately 10-15 minutes. Cookies are done when they are golden brown, and soft to the touch.
• Bring out of oven, and allow to cool as they get crispy when cooled.
• Serve with a scoop of your favorite ice cream or coffee.

Oh, cookies and warm milk are a match made in heaven! Even better, put them in a box and send as a gift to someone special. The dough can be wrapped in cling film, and frozen for up to a month. Bring it out of the freezer, allow to thaw, and pop them into your oven whenever you want to.

Enjoy. Eat responsibly.
