Triple Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies are packed with three types of chocolate, sweetened with good quality vanilla, with a touch of salt for that true addictive quality. Great with a cup of tea or coffee for a mid morning snack (or as a sugar rush when you're late first thing as I often am), it's a struggle to contain yourself to just one.

Step 1: Ingredients and Equipment

This recipe makes around 16-20 cookies, depending on your scoop size.

Ingredients:

• 170 g unsalted butter
• 100 g caster sugar
• 200 g light brown/light muscovado sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• 250 g plain flour
• 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 100 g white chocolate
• 100 g milk chocolate
• 100 g dark chocolate

Equipment:

• Large mixing bowl
• Wooden spoon/Spatula
• Measuring cups/scales
• Measuring spoons
• Chopping board & a sharp knife
• Baking trays and parchment
• Cookie scoop if you have one, or a couple of tablespoons

• An oven, preheated to 180 C/350 F/Gas 4

(An electric mixer will make your life easier, but if you've got a fairly strong arm a wooden spoon will do just as well)
