With a plethora of cookie and biscuit recipes readily available online, choosing the perfect one can be a daunting task. However, Mary Berry’s chocolate chip cookie recipe, boasting a four-star rating on BBC Good Food, offers a simple and delightful solution.
The recipe, described as “the ones Mary Berry makes with her own grandchildren”, promises a batch of basic dough that can be transformed into delicious chocolate chip cookies. The dough is incredibly versatile, allowing you to freeze it for later use or store it in the refrigerator for up to two days.
This recipe produces 20 small cookies, ready to devour in just 10 minutes.
Ingredients:
* 175g butter, softened
* 75g caster sugar
* 175g plain flour
* 75g semolina
* 50g milk chocolate chips
Method:
1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C Fan) and line a couple of baking trays with baking parchment.
2. To create the biscuit dough, combine the softened butter, sugar, flour, and semolina in the bowl of an electric food mixer. Blend until a soft dough forms. Alternatively, you can achieve the same result by beating the sugar and butter together until creamy before incorporating the flour and semolina.
3. Gently knead the chocolate chips into the dough until they are evenly distributed. Shape the mixture into small balls.
4. Arrange the dough balls onto the prepared baking trays, leaving some space between each one. Press down on each ball with the back of a fork, creating a disc approximately five centimeters in diameter.
5. Bake the cookies for 10 minutes or until they turn a golden brown. Enjoy!
