I’ve been a bad blogger lately, and not posted in ages! I’m home from uni now so thought I’d share this delicious little recipe with you to make up for disappearing during exams.
It uses the same basic recipe as my chocolate cookies, but with a delicious, gooey, chewy surprise in the centre! I used chocolate chips in these because I had some in the cupboard, but a smashed up chocolate bar would work just as well, and is probably cheaper too.
These are definitely best eaten warm from the oven, but if by some miracle you manage to restrain yourself from eating the entire lot immediately then they should last about 3 days in an airtight container (and if you still have any left after that, send ’em my way!)
On a side note – I’m super excited to be off to France this weekend for work experience at The Good Life France – I’ll make sure to tell you all about it!
Makes: eight or nine large cookies, or more if you made them smaller.
Cost per cookie: this depends on how many cookies you make but if you made nine cookies it would work out as £0.12 per cookie (price based on Tesco Value ingredients).
Ingredients:
- 225g plain flour
- 125g butter
- 100g sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 egg
- 100g chocolate chips/chunks
- 40g toffee
Method
1) Preheat the oven to 180C.
2) Cream the butter and sugar together.
3) Beat in the egg.
4) Sift in the flour and baking powder, and fold it into the mixture.
Go on, get stuck in!
5) Mix through the chocolate.
6) Place little flattened balls of mixture on a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper.
7) Smash your toffee into little pieces, if it isn’t already small. Take a teaspoon and scoop up the middle of each cookie, and pop some toffee inside, before covering it up again with the dough. Make sure the toffee doesn’t go through to the bottom of the cookie or it will all ooze out when it cooks.
8) Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes, or until golden. Best eaten warm, with a glass of milk!
