These *points above* are my YUMMY cookies i made today. I normally sew or try to be crafty on days off from work so I decided to make something a bit different. The result? These Aero chocolate orange cookies. The Aero bubbly chocolate makes the cookies not as sweet or heavy as normal chocolate does i think. Why not give it a bash with the recipe below and see what you think?
(makes about 18 cookies)
You will need:
125g or 4 1/2oz soft butter/margarine (plus a bit extra for greasing)
175g or 6oz plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
85g or 3oz muscovado sugar
5 tbsp caster sugar
1 egg
125g, 4 1/2oz or 1 large bar of Aero Orange Chocolate bar
Preheated oven to 190oC/365oF/Gas Mark 5
- Lightly grease two baking trays or use grease proof paper.
- Cookies are probably the easiest thing i've ever made. All you need to do is throw ALL ingredients into a bowl and mix until well combined. I added the chocolate after all the other ingredients had been mixed in case any of the mixture spilled out.
- Use a tablespoon to put the mixture onto the trays, make sure there is plenty of space between them as they do spread out a bit. I cooked the dough in two lots, having six spoonfuls of dough on each tray.
- Bake in the oven for about 10-12 minutes (for fan assisted ovens bake for 10 minutes). If you have to put your trays on two separate shelves, set a timer for five or six minutes then swap around and bake for another five or six. This makes sure the top tray doesn't get burnt!
- Using a palette knife (or fish slice in my case!) transfer the cookies to a wire rack and leave to cool. If you don't have a wire rack, use a few sheets of kitchen roll instead :)
TADAAAA!
Hopefully this has made it easy for even the most novice baker.
Why not try making other types of flavours too?
Just change the chocolate for anything else you think might work :)
