If you were lucky enough to
be given lots of Easter eggs, but like me have a tendency to eke them
out until Christmas, you might like to use some in this quick and
easy recipe which would make a tasty accompaniment to your afternoon
tea or coffee. In addition, your house will be filled with a
wonderful chocolatey aroma.
Ingredients:
- 4oz butter
- 3oz dark muscavado sugar
- 2 tablespoons syrup
- 6oz self raising flour
- 4oz chocolate broken up
into small pieces ( more if you have it!)
-You
can make 8 large cookies with these quantities.
Method:
- Heat oven to 180°C/
gas mark 4.
-
Line a large baking tray with greaseproof paper.
-
Cream the butter and sugar together.
-
Stir in the syrup, then the flour and finally the pieces of
chocolate. The mixture should now feel quite stiff- If not, add some
more flour.
-
Using a spoon, put dollops of the mixture onto the baking tray,
leaving room inbetween. If things are getting too close, line another
tray. Press each cookie down a little with your fingers.
-
Bake on the middle shelf and check after 12-15 minutes, by which time
they should be ready to be placed on a wire rack to cool. Don't be
tempted to leave them in for too long; they should be soft rather
than crispy.
