Triple Chocolate Cookies

So I was having a bit of a lazy day and I thought I'd make some cookies. I split the batch in half: half to go to my friend who's just started uni and half to James and his family. Later today, I found out that James didn't take the cookies home, he left them in his bag, took them to uni, and ate all of them but one. They must be good! I'm making some more tomorrow to take to my Grandma's and some for James's family so they can actually try them. I got this recipe from Nigella Express, it's my favourite cookie recipe so I thought I'd share my baking!

Pre-heat the oven to 170 C or gas mark 3. Line baking trays with grease proof paper. Makes 24 cookies.

Ingredients

• 125g dark chocolate
• 150g flour 
• 30g cocoa 
• 1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
• half teaspoon of salt 
• 125g softened butter 
• 75g light brown sugar 
• 50g white sugar 
• teaspoon of vanilla extract 
• 1 egg, cold from the fridge
• 350g of choc chips 

 Weigh out flour, cocoa, salt and bicarbonate in a separate bowl. 

Melt the chocolate over a pan of simmering water.

In a bowl weigh out butter and two kinds of sugar.

Cream the butter and sugar together.

Add in the melted chocolate, dry ingredients and chocolate chips.

Using a ice cream scoop and a knife, scoop the mixture out into equal sized mounds on a baking tray.

Spread cookies out well on the baking tray as they'll spread as they bake.

Bake cookies for 18 minutes.

Enjoy your warm cookies with a glass of milk (chocolate milk would be dreamy)
