Dark Chocolate Cookies

It was Friday night and I really wanted to bake, I decided on trying a cookies revipe from Mary Berry's book. I tried it before and it didn't turn out like hers, I thought it could be the light brown sugar I used instead of the caster sugar, so I tried again. The dough was still very wet, however, the taste was good. It was better to let the dough rest in the fridge before cutting them into rounds and then again before they are placed in the oven.

(Makes about twenty 6.5 cm rounds)

Ingredients 

140g plain flour

75g semolina

75g caster sugar

25g Cocoa powder

100g dark chocolate chips

175g cold unsalted butter cubed 

1. Preheat the oven at 160 degrees fan. Sift the flour and cocoa powder together and mix in the sugar and semolina till combined. 

2. Add the cold cubed unsalted butter and use your finger tips to run the butter into the dry mix. 

3. Once the soft dough comes together, stir in the chocolate chips. 

4. Roll the dough into a round disc and wrap in cling foil and fridge for about 30 minutes. 

5. Once chilled, roll the dough to 0.5 cm in between 2 baking papers and chill in fridge for about 30 minutes before cutting into 6.5 cm rounds.

6. Cut the dough into 6.5 cm rounds and leave to rest in fridge for about another 30 minutes.

7. Bake in preheated oven of 160 degrees for about 20-25 minutes. 

There, dark chocolate cookies.
