Chocolate Chip Slab Cookies


Well this recipe is going to be a bit difficult for some of you cause it is all done on weight. I have made it a quite a few times but just use my scales so don't know any other measurements. But it is really quick and easy and great for a quick bake sale or treat to take somewhere as it tastes great and I usually have all the ingredients already. It is also great for a recipe to make with Kids, Emma always helps with this one, especially at the end.
Ingredients
220g/7.75 oz butter, softened
200g/7oz brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
300g/10.5oz plain flour
200g/7oz chocolate chips, but really I just put as many as I feel in. (Well usually however many Emma feels like)
1) Cream butter and sugar until nice and creamy it really is the secret
2) Beat in the vanilla
3) It says stir in the recipe but I usually beat in the flour but just lightly until it is combined.
Now the first time I made this I thought something must be wrong and spend another 2 batches trying to fix it when eventually I realized it was best when I stuck to the recipe. But it will be really dry and like breadcrumbs but don't worry.
4) Stir in chocolate chips, which is easy to do as it is really dry.
5) Pour into a greased 13x9 dish, or whatever dish you like. Press down (this is where Emma helps the most) when you press down you will finally see it moisten up a bit ad clump together.
6) Bake at 180C/350F for 20-25 mintues, until the edges get nice and brown.
7) When cool (if you can wait) just cut into squares and serve.
I used to find these a bit dry compared to my other cookies but they are really addictive and everyone who has tried them has really liked them.
