Chocolate Chip Cookies

Hi Everyone,

Todays recipe is based on one by a favourite New Zealand cook book Author of mine – Annabel Langbein. The secret ingredient in the cookies is sweetened condensed milk. It is used in many NZ cookie recipes and really does make all the difference!

As I write we have snow falling outside – the perfect day for baking. Especially for baking this super easy and yummy recipe. Just be prepared that these cookies are super addictive!

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Preheat oven 180°C and line 2 trays with baking paper

Ingredients:

• 250g butter
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1 tsp vanilla sugar
• 2 + 1/4 cups flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 250 – 300g dark chocolate (I like to use milk chocolate) chopped into chunks

Recipe:

1. Beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy
2. Beat in condensed milk and vanilla sugar
3. Sift flour and baking powder and stir into the mixture together with the chopped chocolate – don’t over mix!
4. Roll into balls and place on cold oven trays leaving enough room for spreading whilst baking, then flatten with the back of a fork
5. Place in oven and bake for approx 15 minutes, until lightly golden. I like to flatten the cookies again after 10 minutes in the oven to make sure they turn out extra crispy.
