Chunky Monkey Cookies
Nibble and I have been making these, and they are yummy even if they are also very sweet. So I figured I'd share the recipe, especially as this means I won't need to take my cookbooks to Cornwall in case it rains and we need to keep small people and Suzy occupied.
Chunky Monkey Cookies
7oz plain flour
1 teaspoon (tsp) of bicarbonite of soda
4oz caster sugar
4oz butter
1 egg
1 tablespoon (tbsp) milk
5 oz white chocolate
3oz glace cherries
1. Set oven to 180 C, 350 F, Gas Mark 4. Grease baking trays.
2. Mix flour, sugar and bicarb together.
3. Cut butter into small pieces and add to the flour etc, rubbing to produce fine breadcrumbs.
4. Beat the egg and milk together. Chop the white chocolate and cherries into small pieces. Add all to the flour mixture and mix.
5. Place dessert spoon sized drops on the baking tray, well spread apart (the cookies spread a lot).
6. Bake for 8 - 12 minutes until golden and remove. Allow to cool for at least 2 mins before taking off the baking tray.
You can mix and match, replacing white chocolate for dark if you prefer not quite as sweet, or using dried apricots instead of cherries. Or even use all fruit.
