Double Chocolate Cookies

Is it so wrong that we were eating these by 9am one Sunday morning? Breakfast had already been had and I'm sure that was something very nutritious...

These seem to have turned into our quick, need a biscuit default recipe. For those of you with the 'Sweet Treats' recipe leaflet we give out in clinic, it's just a chocolate version of the cookies on the front cover. 

100g Pure

100g Light Muscovado Sugar (or any other type)

1 tbsp Golden Syrup (or maple or agave)

1 tsp vanilla paste (or extract)

25g Cocoa Powder

125g Self Raising Flour or Wheat free plain flour plus 1 tsp baking powder

Chocolate chips (I used a 35g bag of dairy free buttons, 50g might be a better amount)

Whisk margarine, sugar, vanilla and syrup until light and creamy.

Whisk in Cocoa powder (if like me you are too lazy to sift and need to get rid of lumps, or you could just sift in with the flour)

Mix in flour until you can't see any more white.

Stir in chocolate chips.

Roll teaspoonfuls of mix into balls, place on tray lined with greaseproof paper (cuts down on washing up, as well as reducing risk of cross contamination if you use your trays for non-free from foods).

Flatten slightly and bake for about 10-12 minutes at 180ºC.

Try to leave to cool slightly before eating...
