Tanya Burr's Choc Chip Cookies

Sunday afternoon's are made for baking, so yesterday I decided to bake these amazing choc chip cookies! I found the recipe in Tanya Burr's new book, which, by the way, is absolutely awesome! As they were so tasty, I thought I'd share the recipe with you guys...

Ingredients:

• 200g butter
• 300g caster sugar
• 1 large egg
• 325g self-raising flour
• A dash a milk (optional)
• 200g white chocolate
• 200g milk chocolate

Method:

1. To begin, pre-heat your oven to 200˚C, then whisk the butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. To make sure the butter blends easily, let it soften at room temperature or to quicken things up a bit, put it in the microwave for a maximum of 10 seconds.
2. Next, crack an egg into the bowl. Then, gradually add the flour until the ingredients are fully-combined. If the dough appears dry and crumbly, add a dash of milk until it's the perfect consistency.
3. With clean hands, break the chocolate up into big and small pieces. If you own a Pampered Chef Food Chopper, then use this to cut up the chocolate as it is much quicker than doing it by hand.
4. Add the chocolate chunks to the cookie dough and, using your hands, spread them as evenly as possible through the mixture.
5. Shape the mixture into 10 - 12 balls and place them on a baking tray covered in grease-proof  paper. You may need to bake two to three batches as the cookies expand, so it's best to have no more than 3 on one tray.
6. Bake for 12 minutes. They will look as if they need much longer, but don't do it! Leave them in the baking trays or on a cooling rack for half an hour. They should be gooey in the middle and crunchy on the outside - yum!

These are the ultimate sweet treat and would be perfect for a bake sale or even just to share with your family and friends. Enjoy!
