Chocolate-chocolate chip cookies

I baked these cookies to give away as hostess gifts, thank-you-for-the-ride gift and a small belated birthday gift.

We went to the Christening of one of my good friends daughter on Sunday. It was a really lovely day. A day with lots of talk and laughter with good friends, a little baby and many many yummy cakes.

These cookies don’t take very long to make. If you have all the ingredients at home, then you could have freshly baked cookies within half an hour. Not bad at all.

The cookies should be a bit chewy in the middle, so don’t worry if they are a bit soft when you take them out of the oven.

This batch made about 32 small cookies. 

Ingredients:

50 g of butter

200 g  of dark chocolate

100 g of white chocolate

2 eggs

170 g sugar

1 vanilla pod

80 g flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

Method:

Melt the butter and 200g of dark chocolate in a bain marie.

Beat eggs, sugar and vanilla seeds together and stir in chocolate mixture.

Sieve the flour, baking powder and salt together and pour it in with the egg and chocolate mixture.

Chop the 100 grams of white chocolate, and fold into the batter.

Put spoonfuls of dough on a baking sheet lined with baking paper.

Bake the cookies for about 12 minutes at 170 degrees.

Cool completely on a wire racks and store in an air tight container.
