Ingredients
275g
plain flour
1Tbsp.
cornflour
1tsp.
baking powder
175g
unsalted butter, melted
2tsp.
vanilla extract
125g
soft light brown sugar
100g
granulated sugar
1
large egg
1
large egg yolk
100g
mini sugar-coated chocolates (we used Smarties)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan) mark 4 and line two baking sheets with baking parchment. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cornflour and baking powder with 1tsp salt.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, stir together the melted butter and vanilla with both sugars until smooth, before whisking in the egg and yolk. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry and fold in the chocolates. The mixture should be soft but thick. Cover and chill for 2hr, if you have time.
Step 3
Roll pieces of cookie dough into golf ball-sized balls and space them evenly on the lined baking sheets – make sure you leave plenty of room around them as they will spread. Dot a few of the extra chocolates on top of the cookies, then bake for 12min until golden and still gooey (you may need to cook them in batches). Remove from the oven and leave to cool for 10min on the trays before transferring to wire racks to cool completely, or enjoy while warm.
