Ingredients (to make 10/12 medium sized cookies)
75g butter (I used half butter and half vegetable oil- I find oil is good in ensuring the outside is slightly crisper than the inside)
75g caster sugar
few drops of vanilla extract
I egg
175g self raising flour
A few tablespoons of grated orange zest
dessicated coconut (I added a few tbsps to the choc chip cookie mixture. It gives a nice texture. This is optional)
Choc chips/chunks (a good alternative is glace cherries and white choc cookies:hayaa:)
2 heaped tbsps of cocoa powder-for the double choc chip cookies.
*Preheat oven to 180 degrees C
*Beat together butter/oil, sugar and vanilla extract. After this beat in the egg until light and fluffy.
*Fold in flour, zest and choc chips/cocoa/cherries etc- whatever you decide will be the flavour
*You can use foil or a baking tray,and onto it use one heaped tbsp mixture per cookie. Well guess that depends on how big or small you want them to be.
*Transfer to the oven and they should be done in around 10mins. The outside should have a crisp crust and the inside should be soft and crumbly.
Enjoy!
Let me know how they turned out:)
Namaan and Lusi- Thank you
