Ben's Cookies have to be possibly the best cookies around. They are freshly baked throughout the day, so still warm and gooey in the middle; absolutely delicious. Their original store is located in Oxford's Covered Market so whilst at Uni we decided to partake in some very thorough research to decide what our favourite flavour was (decision still pending!). I decided to try and bake some myself and they wet down very well at the NYSD Cross Country in Thirsk, so here is my recipe...
Ingredients:
200g unsalted butter, softened300g caster sugar
275g self raising flour
75g cocoa powder
Chocolate chunks of your choosing (I used milk and white chunks, but anything goes!)
I added a splash of milk too as without it the mixture was quite dry
Makes 12 large scrumptious cookies
Prep Time: 25mins
Baking Time: 8-10mins
Method:
- Pre-heat your oven to 220oc and line a large baking sheet.
- Cream your butter and sugar together, until well combined and creamy.
- Crack in your egg and give the mixture another good stir.
- Add your flour and cocoa powder and bring all together. At this point you might want to add a splash of milk if your mixture is a little dry.
- Stir in your chocolate chunks.
- Divide the mixture on your baking sheet, into 12 good sizes balls. Spread these out generously as the mixture will spread when baking.
- Bake for 8-10 mins at 220oc. you will know they are cooked when the edges have started to crack slightly and are beginning to brown. They should still be very soft on top, but don't worry as they cool they will harden up.
- Leave to cool on the baking tray for 30 mins (do NOT try and move them straight away as they WILL fall apart as I have previously found out! Trust me, they are worth the wait!!)
- Enjoy...
