The original account
After the triumph of the Billionaire’s Shortbread I could not help but getback to pimping more stuff. After much head scraching I decided to stickwith the old biscuit/chocolate combo by creating a rather large chocolatechip cookie. These are the ingredients I used:-
420g Caster Sugar
375g Butter
420g Plain Flour
400g Chocolate
3 tsp Bicarbonate of Soda
3 eggs
To start with I put the sugar and the butter in a bowl and creamed them together.
I then added the eggs, Which came from my own chickens (Hope they all donot start sneezing, nasty flu going around at the momant.) And mixed it all well.
Next to go in is 360g of chocolate, the flour and bicarbonate of soda. Thenstart mixing again, mix, mix, mix, thats all I (My Mum) seems to be doing so far.
With the mixing finally finished I lined the biggest baking tray we had with greaseproof paper and plopped the mixture in the middle, making it nice androundish.
Put it the oven at 180c for 5 mins, then take it out and tap the tray to flatten out the mixture. Also, if you enjoy your chocolate like me, add more chunks on top. Put it back in the oven for 10 more mins.
Thats it! all thats left to do now is let it cool for about 5 hours, and eat it, in one bite if possible, then again prehaps not.
