Chocolate Cookies

Ingredients:

125g - unsalted butter (softened)
90g - soft light brown sugar
1 - Egg
125g - chocolate spread
2-3 - drops of vanilla extract
90g - caster sugar
200g - plain flour
30g - cocoa powder
1 - Pinch of salt
½ tsp - baking powder
150g - white chocolate chips

1) Preheat the oven to 180°c. Cream the butter and both types of sugar together in a large bowl until the mixture turns creamy.
2) Still using the electric whisk beat the egg, chocolate spread, and vanilla extract into the creamed butter and sugar mixture, until fully mixed in.
3) Sieve the flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt in to a bowl. Use a wooden spoon to help the mixture through, if you need to.
4) Add the sieved flour mixture to the chocolate mixture and gently mix them together with a wooden spoon. Stir in the chocolate chips.
5) Place 6-7 heaped dessert spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto each baking tray; leaving space between each mound so hey can spread as they cook.
6) Bake for 14 minutes. Take the trays out of the oven and leave the cookies to set for 2-3 minutes. When set, transfer them onto a cooling rack.
