Just made a batch and they are spot on... crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle!

I did add a blob of golden syrup as the batch looked a bit dry

Will make them again one day definitely!

I have been given a quick recipe for choc chip cookies and this morning decided to give them a go.

Firstly the mixture was too sticky to even roll out so i had to keep adding more flour!! Once i rolled it out and cut them out it was fine!

I then cooked them GM4 as stated they look great (albeit huge), smell gorgeous BUT are rock hard :rotfl:
It stated to cook for 10mins but after 10mins they didnt look cooked (pale in colour) and the centres were very soft.

Have i over cooked or just messed up adding more flour?

Chocolate Chip Cookies Millies Style
Ingredients
125g butter, softened
100g light brown soft sugar
125g caster sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
225g self-raising flour
½ tsp salt
200g chocolate chips
1. Preheat the oven to gas mark 4.
2. Cream butter and sugars, once creamed, combine in the egg and vanilla.
3. Sift in the flour and salt, then the chocolate chips.
4. Roll into walnut size balls, for a more homemade look, or roll into a long, thick sausage shape and slice to make neater looking cookies.
5. Place on ungreased baking paper. If you want to have the real Millies experience then bake for just 7 minutes, till the cookies are just setting -
the cookies will be really doughy and delicious. Otherwise cook for 10 minutes until just golden round the edges.
6. Take out of the oven and leave to harden for a minute before transferring to a wire cooling rack.
These are great warm, and they also store well!

Hi, they always come out the oven soft but harden after they have cooled

Don't add more flour. I've done that same recipe too, it isn't meant to make a dough that you can roll out and cut. It's like a thick paste, what you do is drop spoonfuls of the dough paste well spaced apart on the baking paper.

In America I think you can buy this type of cookie dough paste ready-made in tubes, to squeeze onto a baking sheet and bake at home.

Thank you i will try that next time!!

They harden once they're out of the oven.
I use a muchhh easier recipe! Just mix butter and caster sugar in equal quantities, then add 1-2 tbsp cocoa, choc chips and enough flour to make it thick enough to roll into moist balls with your hands. Plop the balls on a tray and cook for 10-15 mins until they've spread out and start to stop being gooey at the edges.
I used it in school and now it's a family staple because it's so easy!
