Chocolate Chunk Cookies

After watching Tanya Burr's Milk and White Chocolate Cookie recipe on YouTube, I just HAD to give these a go. And oh boy were they worth it! 

Although she uses White Chocolate in her recipe, I didn't have any so substituted the chocolate for Terry's Chocolate Orange.
This Chocolate works really well with the cookies as it gives them a nice mellow orange flavour. Also, the sugar content I felt was too high, so I reduced the amount of sugar she used and it was the perfect sweetness for me.

Terry's Chocolate Orange Cookies

Ingredients

• 350g Terry's Chocolate Orange
• 200g Butter
• 250g Caster Sugar
• 1 egg
• 325g self raising flour
• dash of milk
• capful of Vanilla essence

Method

1. Cream the Butter and Sugar until light and fluffy
2. Add the egg and then the self raising flour
3. pour a dash of milk then add the chocolate and mix with your hands
4. Make palm sized balls of cookie dough and place onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper
5. Place into the oven for only 10 mins at gas mark 6 and there you are. Nice crispy cookies with a soft chewy centre

I shared these with my friends and they said they were the best cookies they've had and the chocolate orange worked really well... and took extra home! So, I think that's enough to say these cookies are a definite winner!
