Now Tash is one of the most gifted photographers I know....in fact she is the only professional photographer I know! If I were to pick five adjectives for Tash....they would be:
1. Boisterous
2. Fun
3. Dedicated
4. Passionate
5. Determined
Her website is about to go live, so when it does, I will let you ALL know as you must take a mosey on over to see her stuff! BUT that's not what this is about, this stems from Tash saying she hasn't baked in years, so I thought I would help her along with a super-yummy chocolate chip recipe I've had floating about!
You do not like them. So you say. Try them! Try them! And you may. Try them and you may I say.
Makes approx 16.
300g plain (all-purpose) flour
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
1 teaspoon fine salt
170g unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
215g light brown sugar
120g granulated white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
300g milk chocolate chips
Sift together flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt. Set aside.
Stir together melted butter, brown sugar, sugar and vanilla. Add egg, then the yolk. Beat well to ensure that egg is evenly distributed. Stir in dry ingredients, then fold in chocolate chips until incorporated. It will look as if there are too many chocolate chips but the dough will be able to hold them all. Cover with clingfilm and chill dough until firm. At least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 190C/Gas Mark 5.
Drop 1/4 cup sized mounds of dough onto a greased baking sheet.
Bake in preheated oven for approximately 10-12 minutes or only until the edges begin to turn golden. (They’ll look and feel underdone but they’re ready.) Cool on the sheet for 1 minute and remove with a wide spatula to a cooling rack. Cool thoroughly and enjoy!
