Super Chunky Milo Choc Chip Cookies!
An Original Recipe by Lorraine Elliott
Preparation time: 25 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
- 125g/4ozs. dark chocolate
- 125g/4ozs. milk chocolate
- 1.5 cups plain flour
- 4 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup Milo*
- Pinch of salt
- 150g/5ozs. butter, melted
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1-2 tablespoons milk (if needed)
If you don't have Milo, use Ovaltine or just cocoa. It won't be exactly the same but it will still be good.
Step 1 - Preheat oven to 160C/320F and line 3 baking sheets with parchment. Melt the dark and milk chocolate together and then spread out on one of the lined baking trays to set. Once hard, chop roughly into biggish chunks.
Step 2 - In a bowl whisk the flour, baking powder, brown sugar, Milo and salt. In a jug whisk the butter, egg, vanilla and make a well in the dry ingredients and mix in with the chocolate chunks. Add the milk if it is a bit too dry.
Step 3 - Scoop balls out using a small ice cream scoop or tablespoons. Shape into a ball and then flatten. These do not spread a lot. Bake for 12 minutes and then cool. I prefer these when the chocolate has set because I love the texture of the thick chunk of chocolate but others like this warm from the oven. Your choice.
