YOU HAVE TO TRY THESE COOKIES. Trust
me. I had to go to two supermarkets to get some raspberries (is everyone suddenly craving them?), and it was SO worth the extra walk!
These are not dieting cookies, these are
yummy-melting-in-your-mouth-I-could-eat-them-all-cookies, which is definitely
not dieting friendly. But you know what, I am happy to spend the extra Propoints on them. And what is even better is that they are super easy to
make, no complicated baking manoeuvre to impress involved. I even tried to take nice
pictures to make you want to bake some, how can you refuse!
You are going to need (I managed 15 big cookies - 6 Pro points
by cookies, I may make 20 next time – which would be 4 Pro points!!) :
-125g of slightly salted butter (room temperature)
- 170g of dark brown soft unrefined cane sugar
-190g of plain flour
- 35g of Cocoa powder (I used Cadbury Bournville one)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- ½ teaspoon of bicarbonate of sodium
- 100g of dark chocolate roughly chopped (I used Menier dark chocolate
at 70%)
- 125g of fresh raspberries
- 2 teaspoons of baking powder
How do you make these?
Preheat your oven at 180°C (fan oven).
Mix the butter, with the sugar, the egg and vanilla extract
together. You should get a nice dough. Add the flour, bicarbonate of sodium, baking
powder and cacao. Mix well. Add the chocolate and raspberries.
Make cookies from a tablespoonful of mixture and place on
lined baking trays. Beware to leave some space as they spread.
Bake for 12 minutes (that is quite important to make sure
they stay soft inside). They will still be soft on the inside when you take
them out – they will harden on the cooling rack. And they are ready to be
eaten, nom nom nom…
So Mr MiH has not had a chance to test them yet, but my
carpenter took 4 of them (in one go) and did say they were lovely. Recipe approved as
far as I am concerned! Bon appétit!
