Pod Cookies
Makes about nine cookies (depending on size)
-
125g unsalted butter, softened
-
1 cups firmly packed brown sugar
-
1 teaspoon vanilla paste or vanilla extract
-
1 egg, lightly beaten
-
1 1/2 cups plain flour
-
1/2 tsp baking powder
-
a pinch of salt
-
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
-
half a bag of Pods or whatever other cookie you like
Step 1 - Preheat oven to 180C/350F and line two cookie sheets with baking parchment paper. Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy. Add vanilla and egg and beat until just combined. Add the flour, baking powder, salt and chocolate chips and mix until a dough forms.
Step 2 - Using an ice cream scoop, measure out one scoop of the cookie batter and press out into a circle. In the centre, add the Pod cookie and then bring up the sides of the circle to seal the cookie in. Place an inch apart on the baking sheet as they do expand. Repeat until all of the dough is used. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
