Giant Choco Cookie

After a long week at work, few joys compare to a hard lavender-scented massage, a good book & a delicious home-made chocolate treat you can wrap your lips around. This is the first time we’ve tried baking a giant cookie… we’ve done cupcakes, pies & crumbles before… but never cookies, don’t know why though ?!?. This like all things sinful is chocolate beyond chocolate oozing out of every pore. As if this wasn’t enough to set us swooning, we  experimented with adding sprinkles… & boy are we glad we did … life just seems a tad more hopeful with sprinkles…don’t it !!! Even my father who is not a chocolate aficionado loved this one. So methinks this will now be a regular in our repertoire. Feel free to try it out & enjoy your weekend as much as we are going to relish ours.

Ingredients:

·         2 tbsp butter

·         2 tbsp sugar

·         2 tbsp brown sugar

·         2 eggs

·         1/2 tsp vanilla extract

·         1/4 cup flour

·         2 tbsp cocoa powder

·         1/2 tsp baking soda

·         Pinch of salt

·         1 pack Chocolate chips or ready-made chocolate buttons

·         Assorted sprinklers

Method:

Pre-heat the oven to 175 degree C. Line a baking tray with silicon mat & set aside. In a bowl mix butter & sugars with a spoon. Add egg & vanilla. In another bowl sieve flour, cocoa, baking soda & salt. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients & combine. Add chocolate chips & be generous with that. Place the dough in the center of silicon mat & make a mound using a spoon. Sprinkle additional chocolate chips & sprinkles. Bake for around 15-20 minutes. Cookie will appear soft but will firm up as it cools.

Mommy’s Tip : You can enjoy your death by chocolate cookie as an afternoon snack with coffee or even just to satisfy those midnight cravings when nothing but chocolate will do.
