The topic is the question. I have tried lots of cookie recipes and seem to have the same problem with them all. They look just right when entering the oven but come out of the oven as siamese cookie or a cookie cake, however you'd prefer to describe them. LOL. Anyone know how to produce those ones you get in asda and suchlike, Round in shape, quiet chocolately and lovely and dark.
Would really appreciate some help here guys. I'm a new stay at home dad and am trying to be a house god :D

    try this page for every day biscuits...

    they remind me of those cookies, but to get them the same as the asda doublechocolate cookies you would have to put in both cocoa powder and choc chips, which you can get in the cookery section at asda.

    then to get them big like asda's you'll have to roll them fatter than Queenie has described, but still cut thinly (this'll make sense when you read her post).

    do resist the temptation to poke them when they first come out of the oven. they really do harden up after a few minutes left on the tray...

    When I made Queenies cookies they expanded a little on the tray so I'd be careful about how fat you cut em. And leave lots of room between them on the tray.

    yup they do spread... hence why i said to roll it fat but cut it thinly, it'll help to cut down on the spread. but yeah... leaving lots of space would be a good idea.

    thanks for that!

    Well, I have here some little information about double chocolate cookies recipes. Hope you will like this little information I will shared it to you.
    Ingredients Makes about 3 dozen
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
    • 1/2 pound good-quality milk chocolate, 4 ounces coarsely chopped and 4 ounces cut into 1/4-inch chunks
    • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
    • 1 1/2 cups sugar
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside. Melt 4 ounces coarsely chopped chocolate with the butter in a small heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water; let cool slightly.
    2. Put chocolate mixture, sugar, eggs, and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until combined. Reduce speed to low; gradually mix in flour mixture. Fold in chocolate chunks.
    3. Using a 1 1/2-inch ice cream scoop, drop dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake until cookies are flat and surfaces crack, about 15 minutes (cookies should be soft). Let cool on parchment on wire racks. Cookies can be stored between layers of parchment in airtight containers at room temperature up to 3 days.

    When I make cookies I use a yorkshire pudding tray and use balls of the dough mixture, if you make sure they are roughly the same size they will expand to a uniform shape and thickness. I dont use any oil and people often dont believe they are home made as they all look the same. I have tried many delicious recipes from this website and they are always a success. Hope this helps.
