You are going to need:
250g plain flour
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
170g unsalted butter, melted
200g dark brown soft sugar
100g caster sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 bars good quality chocolate
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
170g unsalted butter, melted
200g dark brown soft sugar
100g caster sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 bars good quality chocolate
Start off by preheating your oven at 170C. Grease your baking trays.
Sift together the flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt and leave to one side. In another bowl, cream together the melted butter, brown sugar and caster sugar. Beat in the vanilla essence, egg and an extra egg yolk until light and creamy. Now, you can add your flour mix until well blended. Take your chocolate bars and chop them into small rough chunks. Add them to your mixture and stir properly.
Depending on the size you want your cookies to look like, take the dough and roll them in a ball in your hand.
Pop them onto the baking tray and make sure to give them a little space to spread out !
Bake them for 10 minutes or until the edges are slightly toasted !
I hope you guys enjoyed this recipe and tell me what you think about them if you happen to bake these ! ;)
I looooooooooove the triple chocolate chunk one
ReplyDelete@TaraLove I love that one toooo ! I guess if you want to make the triple chocolate yourself you'd have to add some cocoa powder and a chunk of white chocolate to this recipe :)
ReplyDeleteWould you still put vanilla in?
DeleteThese look sooo good!! I have so many new baking recipes i need to try out! Thanks for posting this. :-)

ReplyDeleteyou should. both delish ! :)
Deleteso do we completely melt the butter until it is liquid or just until the butter is a little softer?? and also how many cookies does this recipe make?
ReplyDelete-Thanks, i'd really appreciate an answer :D
yes melt it till it's liquid ! And it really depends on the size of your cookies.
DeleteI just made your cookies. They're awesome, It's hard to get Ben's cookies outside of England, Thanks for posting this recipe! Any tips for Ben's ginger dark choc chip or coconut? THANKS Laura.
ReplyDeleteBens cookies are to die for! the choc chip one is the best by far, they always run out of them by the time i get to the bens cookies! I really want to see a picture of these once they have been cooked please?
ReplyDeleteHow come my mixture is dark brown and yours isnt?
ReplyDeletedo i measure the butter before or after i melt it?
ReplyDeleteThats a bit of a daft question......!!!
DeleteHi Laura how come my mixture is very dark in color ? And the cookies turned out not baked enough after 10 mins ? is that a temperature problem (my oven doesn't show temperature but only the setting)
ReplyDeleteI am definitely missing Ben's Cookies whilst up north (there isn't even a Millie's near me) - would this be the same recipe as the White Chocolate Chunk one? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWow! Just made these, tried one while it was still warm. Very authentic, but II am going to get fat! Thank you for posting this recipe.
