Treat of the Week || Chocolate Cookies with a Twist

Hello Lovelies,

Everyone deserves a treat every now and then, so this weeks treat of the week is coffee choc chip cookies.

I love these cookies, who can beat a chocolate studded biscuit with a soft squidgy middle - they're a guaranteed hit!

Prep: 15 mins

Cook: 10 mins 

150g   room temperature butter

80g    light brown muscovado sugar

  

80g    granulated sugar

2 tbsp instant coffee in water

1      large egg

225g   plain flour

200g   70% dark chocolate

pinch of salt

  

  

Preheat the oven to 170C and line two baking trays with grease proof paper, or if your really fancy then crack out your silicon baking sheet!

First put the butter and sugar into a bowl and beat until creamy, now I am all for the easy life so I used an electric mixer, but feel free to beat it by hand and work on those guns of steel!

Once your butter and sugar are beautifully beaten together you want to sieve the flour over the top and give it a good mix (hello electric mixer!)

Next chop up your chocolate with a sharp knife, sprinkle into the bowl with your coffee and stir well.  

Using a teaspoon place small mounds of the mixture well apart on the baking tray, then place in the oven for 8-10 mins until light brown on the edges and slightly soft in the center.

Once out of the oven let them sit for 5 or so mins then transfer them to a cooling rack.

These cooks love to be eaten with a warming cup of tea, they're also partially to a quick dunk!

Hope you pull on your apron and gives these a try, I promise you won't regret it!
