Chocolate Chunk Share Cookie Recipe
Chocolate Chunk Share Cookie Recipe
My son (who is a bit of a weirdo) doesn’t like cake. I know, right? But what he does love is cookies. Especially chocolate chip cookies. And ice cream. So last year rather than make him yet another cake that he dutifully blew candles out on, I decided to make him a giant cookie. Topped with some ice cream and sauce I handed out a whole bunch of spoons and we all pigged out on it together.
Of course… if you didn’t want to actually share the cookie, I totally won’t tell. This cookie also makes a really cool and novel gift wrapped in some cellophane in a pretty box. In fact, I have a birthday party to go to Friday night and I am totally going to make my host this cookie. So glad I just thought of that.
Super easy to make – the ingredients are thrown into a food processor, pressed onto non-stick paper on a tray, scattered with extra chocolate and baked. What could be simpler!
Ingredients
- 85g unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup caster sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup plain flour
- 1/8 tsp bicarbonate (baking) soda
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 50g milk chocolate chips
- 50g white chocolate chips
- vanilla ice cream and chocolate and/or caramel sauce, to serve
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 160C (325F). Place the butter, sugars, egg, vanilla, flour, bicarbonate of soda and cocoa in a food processor and process until a dough forms.
- Press the dough out to a 26cm round on a baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper, scatter with the white and milk chocolate pieces and lightly press into the dough.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until firm to the touch. Allow to cool slightly on the tray.
- Serve warm with ice-cream and chocolate and/or caramel sauces. Serves 6-8.
