This is really a quick cookie recipe and delicious too!

http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/6681/quick-cookies

For this recipe  I made 24 cookies

I made with plain flour instead of self raising flour

Ingredients

100 gm unsalted butter softened 

100 gm castor sugar

1 tablespoon golden syrup

75 gm plain flour mixed with 1/4 teaspoon baking soda n 1/8 tsp fine salt

75 gm plain flour mixed with 1/4 tsp baking powder and 1/8 tsp fine salt 

2 tablespoon Hershey's semi sweet mini chocolate chips

Method 

Put butter n castor sugar in a mixing bowl

Use a wooden spoon to stir till paste like

You shouldn't feel much grains of sugar left

Add in the tablespoon of golden syrup n mix well

Add in the first 75 gm of plain flour mixture

And the chocolate chips 

Mix well till no more white flour

Add in the second 75 gm of plain flour mixture 

Mix well

Preheat oven to 170c ( original is 180)

Prepare 2 trays lined with baking paper 

Use 2 teaspoons

One to scoop and the other to help push onto the tray 

Please do not press the cookie dough down

Place them apart 12 on one tray

I am using a table top Cornell oven

So I use the middle rack to bake these about 13 mins

When done, let the cookies sit on the tray for another 2 minutes before moving them to a wire rack n cool completely 

The cookies are very soft when just taken out of the oven 

They will harden upon cooling

They are crispy but I did not find them chewy as described in the original recipe 

Maybe I made smaller cookies as I made 24 and not 12 pieces

Dough can be pinched instead of using spoons too. 

Maximum 12 on my tray 

After baking they spread out

Do try this recipe - easy, quick and delicious!

Chocolate chip cookies

These cookies are quite delicious the exterior is crunchy but the inside is a bit soft. They are suitable for young children.

I think using the Ghiradelli chocolate chips helped as they are large and slightly melted after baking.

I referred to Hershey's recipe and this is how I did it with a bit of adjustments
