Ingredients
- 150 g Butter or margarine Melted
- 150 g Light Brown Soft Sugar
- 100 g Granulated White Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 2 tablespoons Golden Syrup
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Essence
- 275 g Plain Flour
- 50 g Cocoa
- 1.5 teaspoon Bi Carbonate of Soda
- 150 g Milk Chocolate Chips
- 50 g Hazelnuts Chopped or crushed into smaller bits
- 50 g Mini Marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees (fan-assisted) and line 2 baking trays with baking paper or reusable sheets.
- Mix the butter and sugars until even (this takes less than 1 minute with an electric whisk).
- In a small bowl whisk together the egg, vanilla, and syrup.
- Pour this into the butter and sugar and whisk in.
- Sift in the flour, cocoa, and bicarb and whisk or stir until the mix is even.
- Tip in chocolate chips, nuts, and marshmallows and fold through gently.
- Place the dough in the fridge for 1 hour.
- Use an ice cream scoop to scoop balls of dough onto the baking trays, leaving plenty of room to spread.
- Bake in balls for 10-12 minutes until the edges are starting to crisp.
- Leave to set on the tray for 5 minutes before carefully removing to cool fully on a wire rack.
Notes
- I place my hazelnuts in a sealed sandwich bag and bash them with a rolling pin.
- I bake 6 cookies on a tray and place the dough back in the fridge until I’m ready to do the second batch.
- For a chewy cookie, remove from the oven when the outsides are slightly crisp and the centre is still soft, leave on the tray to set for 5-10 minutes before removing to cool fully on a wire rack.
- Bake for an extra 3-4 minutes for a crispy cookie.
- If your cookies don't spread enough, press them down carefully with the back of a spoon when they are fresh out of the oven and still soft.
