Hi All,

Here's a sensational recipe if you feel like something completely obscene to nibble on. They come out chewy and huge, just like the bakery ones! I got the recipe off a website where it was rated 5 stars. If anyone has a DH or DP that is feeling a little miffed, use these to get back in the good books.

Just a warning, each cookie has 1000kJ!!

2 cups of flour
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t salt
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 T vanilla essence
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 cups choccy chips

1. Heat oven to 165C. Line baking tray with paper to stop sticking

2. Sift flour, baking soda and salt.

3. In a separate bowl cream together the butter, brown sugar and white sugar. Beat in vanilla, egg and egg yolk until light and creamy. Then mix in the sifted ingredients until just combined. Add the choc chips and mix by hand with wooden spoon. Refrigerate mixture for about 30 mins.

4. Drop cookie dough onto baking tray in 1/4 cups dollops. An ice cream scoop is perfect! Leave plenty of room as they will spread heaps and heaps.

5. Bake for 15-17 minutes in the preheated oven until light brown and edges lightly toasted. Cool on baking tray for a couple of minutes, then transfer to wire rack.

Makes about 18 ENORMOUS cookies! Enjoy.

PS - I lied about the no fat bit!!
