Hello everybody,
I have just made some choc chip cookies following a recipe I found online. Pretty much plain flour, brown/white sugar, butter and egg. They have turned out nice, but they are more like little cakes that cookies.
The same thing happens to me no matter what recipe I use for CCC's and all I want is some nice, millies cookies style bicuits, is that too much to ask???:p
Does anyone have a foolproof recipe I could try, or hints as to where I'm going wrong?
Many Thanks,
Sil

Here's the basic recipe I use, but I mess around with it

Sub the margarine for butter, sub the syrup for honey, and the chocolate has to be galaxy - just cut a block up.
Bake until just golden.

About half way through baking, I flatten them with a spatula.

Let me know how you get on!

How much baking powder are you putting in?

Hi Both,
I put about a quarter of a tsp into the flour before I add it to the creamed mixture, does that sound about right?
Thanks for the recipe Hawthorn I will no doubt make some more before then end of the week and let you know!

That`s a lot less than what I put in mine,I usually use just over a teaspoon.

To be honest I thought that too much baking powder might be the problem.

Ah right I see Hazzie, making them rise up more than they are meant to perhaps. The ones I've just made used 160g plain flour and quarter of a teaspoon of BP.
I've just had a proper look at that other recipe and they use Self Raising rather than plain flour, and proportionally less sugar than I did, so I will probably give them a go and see how it goes.

marthstewart.com has tons of recipes for ccc - cakey ones, crispy ones, chewy ones all with slightly different proportions of the same ingredients. I made the chewy ones fro dh's birthday and they went down very well
