Ali’s Chocolate Chip Cookies

Actually, the recipe isn’t mine. But Dad and I have made these cookies so many times I think I have the right to rename them! I have to take some cookies to school camp soon, and these ones are definitely going. I love them and so will you.

Here’s what you need:

125g of softened butter
1 cup of brown sugar
A few drops of vanilla
1 egg
1 cup of plain flour
1 cup of self-raising flour
1 cup of desiccated coconut
300g of chocolate chips (I recommend a mixture of both dark and white chocolate chips)

And here’s how you make them:

• Combine the butter, vanilla and sugar in a mixer and cream together for around 10 minutes.
• Add the egg and continue creaming until well blended.
• Add the flours, coconut and chocolate and stir through gently until well combined.
• Roll small handfuls into balls, place evenly spaced on a baking tray and flatten slightly with the back end of a fork.
• Bake in an oven pre-heated to 190C for around 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove the cookies from oven and let them cool on the tray.

Serving these cookies while they’re still warm is the best, along with a glass of milk or, even better, a hot chocolate. The recipe only makes 20 cookies so you might have to double the ingredients 'cause they are so yummy!

Hey Alese, I tried making your cookies tonight. I have not cooked anything (other than egg and bacon) for a long, long time. I thought I did OK until I took another look at your picture. Have a look at mine on my blog.
