Sunday Baking Project: My favourite choc-chip cookies



Why do I love these ones?  


Because they're crunchy on the outside, and chewy on the inside. 
They taste of chocolate without making you feel so ill from chocolate overload
There's *just* enough nuttyness to them 
They take less than an hour to make from pantry to tummy. mmmmm!


Ingredients:
125 grams butter, melted
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 egg + 1 extra yolk
1 tsp vanilla essence
1/2 cup nutella or nutino
2 cups plain flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
250g dark choc chips
1 cup chopped pecans of hazelnuts (optional)


Method:
Preheat oven to 180 degrees c
Mix melted butter, sugars and eggs with an electric beater, stand mixer or food processor until smooth
Add  nutella/nutino and essence, again combine until smooth


Add flour and baking powder, mix until fully combined, may look a bit rough/dry, but don't worry!


Take off mixer and with spoon, stir in choc chips and nuts


Roll walnut-size balls of mixture and put onto greased trays (I use canola spray)


Bake for about 12 minutes - they will be slightly cracked on top and puffy - let cool on tray for about 5 minutes, then transfer to cooling rack.



Makes about 50. Suitable to freeze dough before rolling, or freeze cookies after cooking.
