There’s something so yummy about cookies, as opposed to a normal biscuit. I think it’s the combination of crisp bite, but a squidgy centre. My kids are always asking me to buy them when we go shopping, so I thought it was about time we tried making them instead, and it was so easy! I don’t think they’re going to last long, so I think we’ll be baking these squidgy choc chunk cookies quite regularly!
| Prep Time | 20 minutes |
| Cook Time | 10 minutes |
| Servings | cookies |
Ingredients
- 150 g salted butter softened
- 80 g light brown muscovado sugar
- 80 g granulated sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 225 g plain flour
- 0.5 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1 pinch salt
- 200 g chocolate chunks (we used a mixture of plain and white chocolate)

Instructions
- Turn on the oven and set it to 170C/Gas mark 5. Line two large baking sheets with non-stick paper.
- Cut the butter into smaller chunks and add it to a bowl with both sugars. Beat until mixed and creamy.
- Add the vanilla essence and the egg. Beat thoroughly.
- Pass the flour, and bicarbonate of soda through a seive into the bowl. Add a pinch of salt. Mix well.
- Add the chocolate chunks and mix those through thoroughly.
- Use two teaspoons to take small blobs of cookie dough and place on the paper-lined baking trays. Space evenly, allowing room for the cookies to expand.
- Pop in the centre of the oven for 8 - 10 minutes. The cookies should be just browning around the edges and not firm to touch when done.
- Leave on the tray for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool. The cookies will firm up a little as they cool, but will still be soft in the middle.
- Enjoy with a glass of cold milk - yum!
Recipe Notes
This amount of dough makes around 28 cookies around 5cm in diameter. You could make fewer, larger cookies if you want.
We found this recipe contained a LOT of chocolate - you could reduce the amount of chunks used if you like more cookie in your choc chunks!
If you enjoy baking with the kids, take a look at the packet-mix cakes we made!
