I use to make this recipe when I first moved to London and was living with bike messengers. I'd always make a double batch knowing that when the boys got home from a long day on the road, they would eat so much of the dough I would be left with just over half a batch to bake off. Sometimes I would even find them in the living room, clutching their bellies having a chocolate chip cookie overload.
Chocolate chip cookies
Makes about 24 cookies
175g unsalted butter, softened
125g light brown sugar
125g caster sugar
1 large egg
1tsp vanilla extract
300g plain flour
2tsp cornflour
1tsp baking soda
1/2tsp salt
200g dark chocolate
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line some baking trays with parchment paper. Cream your butter and sugars together. Stir in your egg and vanilla extract. Add the flour, cornflour, baking soda and salt and mix. Roughly chop your dark chocolate and stir into the dough. Roll into small balls and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. These cookies should be chewy in the middle. You may want to remove them from the oven when they look slightly under baked. It you want your biscuits crunchy, omit the cornflour. Make sure you have the house to yourself when you're making these, they disappear really quickly!
