This one?
Chocolate Chip Cookies
My starting ingredients:
Pre-heat oven to 140 150 C.
Cream the butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the golden syrup and vanilla essence and mix in.
Add the flour and mix in.
I check the consistency of the mix to make sure it isnt too wet or too dry. The mix should be slightly crumbly but when you run a spoon or fork over the top of it, it should resemble finely compacted wet sand. .like this.
If the mix is too wet, add a couple of tablespoons of flour.
If the mix is too dry, add a ½ - 1 tablespoon soft butter or margarine.
When you are happy with the consistency of the mix, add the chocolate chips.
Form into balls on an oven tray and press down gently with a fork. You should be able to make about 15 or 16 medium sized cookies from the mix.
Bake in the oven for 15 20 minutes. When the cookies come out, they will be very soft. Let it cool on the tray for about 5 10 minutes so that it solidifies.
After 5 10 minutes, transfer to a baking rack to complete cooling. The cookies can be eaten at this stage or stored in a airtight container for 4 or 5 days (they never last that long in my place!).
Enjoy!
