How To Make Double Chocolate And Chocolate Chip Cookies

Step 1: You will need….

Step 2: Preheat the oven

Set the oven to 180ºC (360ºF/ gas mark 4).

Step 3: Melt the chocolate

Place the saucepan, half-filled with water on a medium heat and bring it to a simmer. When simmering, place the bowl over the saucepan and add the chopped chocolate. Then, using a spatula, stir gently to help it melt. It will turn into a thick, glossy paste quite quickly.

Tip! You can also melt chocolate in the microwave. Put it on medium heat and heat it at ten second intervals.

Step 4: Add the ingredients to the chocolate

Once the chocolate has completely melted, remove it from the heat. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, brown sugar, eggs, soft butter and milk. Next, when the chocolate dough is well mixed, add the chocolate chips and stir it again mixing all together to create a glorious goo!

Step 5: Prepare the baking tray

Spoon a dollop of the chocolate dough onto the lined baking tray. Continue adding more spoonfuls to create the cookies, making sure there is enough room for expansion during the baking process.

Step 6: Bake

Place the tray into the centre of the preheated oven and bake for 12 minutes. Take them out after this time using a pair of dishcloths to protect your hands from burns.

Step 7: Cool and serve

Allow your cookies to cool for a few minutes before serving. Sprinkle icing sugar over the top of the cookies and then really enjoy them as a delightful afternoon treat. Or why not at any time of the day!
