Accompaniment

Description

Chocolate cookies at their best! Hope you enjoy this recipe because my family sure did.

Method

1
1. Preheat oven to 190 C or 357 F or Gas mark 5. Line 2 baking sheets with baking parchment or I use aluminium foil as it is more convenient.

2. Put the butter and sugar into a bowl and mix it well, then beat in the egg yolk and vanilla extract.

3. Sift flour, cocoa and a pinch of salt into mixture ( you might want to sift into a bowl first, then sift again into batter). Add in chopped chocolate or chococolate chips into mixture and stir till thoroughly combined.

4. Dip a kitchen towel ( the serviette type) into some butter or margerine. Rub the butter into the baking sheet or aluminium foil. Scoop about 2 tsp of dough into hand and roll it. Flatten on tray. ( I prefer just scooping it then dump it on to the tray for a random effect)

5. Space them just enough. The cookies will expand. ( I cannot stress this enough - the cookies grow massive when cooking.

6. Bake for 15 to 20 mins or until brown. Cool on the tray for 5 min before using a palette knife or spatula, transfer to wire rack to cool completely. Serve.
