Chocolate Chips Cookies

Ingredients

30g unsalted butter

40g caster sugar

1/2 tbsp golden syrup

1 tbsp beaten egg

1/8 tsp vanilla essence

1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda

pinch of salt

60g plain flour

40g baking dark chocolate chips

Method

1. Place butter, caster sugar and golden strup in a mixing bowl, and cream them together with a wooden spoon for 5-10 minutes until light, fluffy and color turns creamy white. Gradually add in beaten egg and vanilla essence. Continue whisking until soft and smooth.

2. Sift in bicarbonate of soda, salt and flour to mix well. Reserve 1 tbsp of baking dark chocolate chips, mix the remaining into the dough.

3. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and knead o ball shape. Place them on a piece of baking paper lined in a baking sheet. Top with some baking dark chocolate chips.

4. Put into a preheated oven and bake at 180 celcius for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Reminder

Due to the addition of bicarbonate of soda as a raising agent, cookies will expand and thin out after baking. Therefore flattening the rounds is not necessary and leaves sufficient space between the cookies to prevent them from sticking together during baking.
