Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

  • 125 g unsalted butter
  • 100 g light brown sugar
  • 80 g caster sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 300 g plain flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
  • 100 g chocolate chips (milk, dark, white or a mix)
  • 100 g Red chocolate sprinkles (M&Ms, Smarties or coloured chocolate beans)
  • 100 g Green chocolate sprinkles (M&Ms, Smarties or coloured chocolate beans)

Instructions
 

  • Measure your butter and sugars and add them to a mixing bowl. Mix them together until soft and creamy. (You can also use your mixer if you want).
  • Add in your egg and vanilla, and mix in.
  • Sieve in the plain flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, and a pinch of salt.
  • Mix together to form a cookie dough.
  • Stir in your chocolate chips along with your red and green sprinkles/ M&M's/ smarties.
  • Use an ice cream scoop to portion the cookie dough. (Mine is about 5cm and makes about 12 or you can divide it into 8 and have larger cookies).
  • When the cookies are rolled place them in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. (You can also freeze them at this point).

Cooking your Christmas chocolate chip cookies

  • Preheat the oven to 180ºC / 356ºF / Gas mark 4.
  • Place the cold cookie dough balls on baking trays with baking parchment / greaseproof paper.
  • Make sure they are spaced out as they will spread when baking.
  • Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes depending on size until they are golden brown.
  • Leave the cookies to cool and they are ready to enjoy.

Cooking your Cooking your Christmas chocolate chip cookies from frozen

  • Preheat the oven to 180ºC / 356ºF / Gas mark 4.
  • Place the frozen cookie dough balls on baking trays with baking parchment / greaseproof paper.
  • Make sure they are spaced out as they will spread when baking.
  • Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes depending on size until they are golden brown. They need a little longer from frozen and you might want to give them a gentle press halfway through if you want them to be thinner.
  • Leave the cookies to cool and they are ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Freeze for later and enjoy when you really need a cookie.
  • You can swap out the chocolate chips for nuts or dried fruit.
