Ingredients:
110g unsalted butter, softened
150g caster sugar
120g Yester Farm Dairies Luxury Soft (or Reduced Fat) Cream Cheese, softened
1 large egg
320g self raising flour
2tsp cornflour
Pinch salt
120g chocolate of choice, chopped
Splash of milk if needed
Method:
Cream together butter, sugar and cream cheese in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg.
Add flour, cornflour and salt, whizz until smooth. If the dough is a little stiff, add a splash of milk to soften slightly.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
Pop bowl into the fridge for a couple of hours to firm up.
Line baking trays with parchment and, using an ice cream scoop, plop onto the trays , spaced about 2 inches apart (they have a habit of spreading, so don’t crowd the trays). Press down with the back of a damp fork.
Bake in a preheated oven, 180C/Fan 160C/Gas5 for about 10 - 12 minutes.
Cool on the trays for 5 minutes and then transfer to cooling rack.
Excellent with a cuppa, a glass of cold milk or sandwiched with your favourite ice cream!
Tips:
Ring the changes by adding a tablespoon of cocoa powder (remove the same amount of flour) for double choc chip, or for triple – drizzle white chocolate over the cooled cookies.
Try adding nuts, dried fruit instead of chocolate.
For a citrus flavour, add zest of a lemon and juice; for an orangey twist, add zest and juice of ½ an orange. A handful of blue berries add a fruity burst.
Spice them up with cinnamon; works really well with the orange.
Add chopped stem ginger, replace half the caster sugar with dark muscovado sugar; when cooled dip in melted dark chocolate.
