Some of you might have notice that I do more baking than cooking! So why change a habit – I picked this Giant Chocolate Chunk Cookies recipe from the book! It will make 12 cookies.

Ingredients:

• 115g butter
• 125 caster sugar
• 125g soft light brown sugar
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 280g plain flour
• 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
• 300g milk chocolate, broken into pieces

Method:

1. Place the butter and sugars in a large bowl and whisk together until pale and creamy.
2. Whisk the eggs and vanilla extract into the mixture until smooth.
3. Stir in the flour and bicarbonate of soda, and beat together until well mixed.
4. Stir in the chocolate chunks.
5. Drop 12 large spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them well apart. Bake for 15 – 20 minutes at 180°
6. Leave to cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer the cookies to wire racks and leave to cool.

This is super easy to make. My only difficulty was dividing up the proportions correctly. So I ended up with different shapes and sizes. Also I should have slightly flatten the cookies rather than letting them sit tall. My cookies ended up quite big and chunky! They are delicious though and my family love them!
