Ingredients

  • 150 g Butter or Margarine melted
  • 150 g Light brown sugar
  • 100 g White granulated sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 tablespoons Golden Syrup
  • 2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 325 g Plain flour
  • 1.5 teaspoon Bicarbonate of sofa
  • 250 g Chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Grease and line 2 baking trays.
  • Cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy, this only takes a minute with an electric whisk.
  • In a small bowl whisk together the egg, syrup, and vanilla.
  • Add the egg mix to the butter and sugar and mix for 2 minutes until well combined.
  • Sift in the flour and bicarbonate of soda and mix for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is smooth and soft.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips carefully until evenly distributed.
  • Cover the dough and cool in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • On a well-floured surface roll the dough carefully to 2-3mm.
  • Lightly spray a metal cookie cutter with cooking spray (optional, but does make it easier) and carefully cut the cookies.
  • Place on a baking tray, leaving plenty of room between each (I bake in batches, putting the dough back in the fridge until I'm ready to roll).
  • Return to the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees (fan-assisted) and remove the dough from the fridge.
  • Bake in the oven for 8-12 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.

Notes

  • Spraying the cookie cutter with oil will help cut the sticky dough.
  • Wipe any excess dough from the cutter to help avoid sticking.
  • If your cookies spread too much, try cooling for longer, or bake the dough for 8 minutes as a rectangle and cut the shapes out of the warm, soft dough before leaving to cool.
  • If you prefer your cookies chewy, remove them from the oven when the edges are firm, but the centres are still a little soft, this is around 8 minute for me, so check then.
  • For a crunchier cookie, bake for longer.
