Don't you just love those cookies you get in the supermarkets. The ones in the paper bags, all gooey and chewy. They usually have a named sweet in them like Rolo or Smarties. Well I made some last night that tasted as good, if not better than those! They were a chocoholics dream. Triple chocolate cookies, verging on the consistency of a brownie in the middle and crispy on the outside, generously filled with chocolate chips. If you want to recreate the supermarket ones then replace the chocolate chips in the recipe for your chosen sweet, I can't wait to experiment! I'm going to try replacing the chocolate I used for chocolate orange for my next batch. Throw some nuts or oats in for a different texture, whatever you decide on let me know on my Facebook page How to be hard up and happy! I'd love to see your results. 150g plain flour sifted 100g chocolate melted (whichever you want) 200g chocolate chips or whatever chocolate sweets you want (from the fridge) 30g cocoa powder sifted 120g butter softened 75g brown sugar 50g white sugar 1/2 tsp bicarbinate of soda 1/2 tsp salt Large egg beaten (from the fridge) Preheat the oven to 170 In a bowl combine the flour, cocoa, salt and bicarbinate of soda With a mixer if you have one (by hand is fine too it will give your arms a good workout!) cream together the butter and both sugars until light and fluffy (or until your arm feels like it's going to drop off) then add the melted chocolate and mix again until combined Beat in the cold egg and add the dry ingredients Fold in first, so the flour mix doesn't go everywhere, then mix
