I've probably made 90% of the recipes in that book, not sure how I missed this one

Think it is a bit of a deadly book to have really lol. Have you made any of the pies cause I was gonna have a go but I thought they might be a bit tricky. The cobblers look nice too.

Could I have the double chocolate chip and anzac recipe's please

Hi,

Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

– preptime: 35 minutes; cooking time: 40 minutes

This is aversatile recipe for melt-in-your-mouth cookies. You can use either chocolate spread for adouble chocolate taste or peanut butter for a nutty flavour.

Ingredientsfor 20 cookies

125g/4ozunsalted butter
90g/3oz softlight brown sugar
1 egg
50g milkcooking chocolate & 50 dark cooking chocolate (melted in a bowl over water)
2-3 drops ofvanilla extract
90g/3ozcaster sugar
200g/7ozplain flour
30g/1oz cocoapowder
1 pinch ofsalt
1/2 oz bakingpowder
150gchocolate chips either - white/milk/dark

1. Preheatthe oven to Gas 4. Cream the butter andboth types of sugar together in a large bowl until the mixture turnscreamy. Use an electric mixer.
2. Stillusing the electric whisk beat the egg, melted chocolate, and vanilla extractinto the creamed butter and sugar mixture, until fully mixed in.
3. Sievethe flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, and salt into a bowl. Use a wooden spoon to help the mixturethrough, if you need to.
4. Addthe sieved flour mixture to the chocolate mixture and gently mix them togetherwith a wooden spoon or electric mixer. Stir in the chocolate chips.
5. Place6-7 heaped dessert spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto each baking tray, leavingspace between each mound so they can spread as they cook.
6. Bakefor 14 minutes - the cookies will still be soft to the touch. Take the trays out ofthe oven and leave the cookies to set for 2-3 minutes. When set, transfer them onto a cooling rack.

Forbest results, bake the trays of cookies one at a time on the middle shelf ofthe oven.

I make these regularly for my friends, and they don't last long in my house.

If it is the "Cake Days" book I've made quite a few of the pies from it.
Coconut Cream Pie
Grasshopper Pie
Peanut Butter and Chocolate

and most of the cheescakes, cobblers and tea loaves. There is a good selection of cupcakes - the only thing I don't get along with is the whoopie pies.

Actually just scanning through the book it must be a different Hummingbird one as there is no peanut butter cookie recipe. Could someone share please - I can't imagine a world without peanut butter:D

Actually I thought you meant the first Hummingbird book, which is the one I've made 90% of. This newest one I had bought but hadn't got around to using yet. I've just made the lemon ricotta cookies and they are lush Hubby picked up the book too, turned to a page with oaty cookies that use condensed milk, and shoved it under my nose (think he might have been dropping a hint??) :rotfl:

Give the pies a go, I've never had a Hummingbird recipe to turn out anything but perfect so I'm sure they'll be lovely.

Yep it's in the first book, this one.

If you don't have it it's usually only £4.99 on the Book People website and is definitely worth picking up.

Just made some of these, only without rolling the dough balls in icing sugar before baking. Drizzled with lemon icing, they are now cooling.

I'd set myself a challenge of baking something today as part of my program to haul myself out of depression, so this recipe came just at the right time

Oh that's so sweet, I'm pleased I could help if only in a little way. Do you like them? If you have some next time, roll them in the icing sugar and you get a lovely crinkled effect.

I love the millies cookies reciepe from the bbc website. My fav is using white chocolate... maybe a bit more than stated!
