Chocolate Chip Cookies

I realised the other day that I haven't shared a recipe post for ages, so I thought I needed to fix that - quickly! In case you don't already know, I love baking and sharing my favourite recipes with you, so a few days ago I baked some gooey chocolate cookies; and they turned out delicious. The ingredients are super simple - things you will most likely have in your cupboards or fridges, so there is no excuse to treat yourself to these circles of delicious-ness!

Ingredients (makes 12-14)

200g of butter/margarine
300g of caster sugar
1 egg
325g of self-raising flour
200g of milk chocolate chunks

Preheat your oven to 200°C, and cream your butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy. Crack the egg into the mixture and mix in, being careful not to make your mixture curdled! Gradually add flour bit by bit until you form a sort of dough. 

With clean hands (because we all know that you have been nibbling the mixture as we have been mixing!) break up the chocolate into chunks if you have a bar, or add the chocolate chips. Make 12-14 balls of cookie dough onto a greased baking tray, and bake for 10-12 minutes. I baked mine for 11, but you can decide! Don't bake them any more, they will look like they need to be in the oven for longer; but don't be tempted, because when they have cooled down they will be gooey on the inside and crispy on the outside - yum, yum!
