Fudge Cookies
Ingredients (Makes 20):
- 250g butter, softened
- 150g light brown sugar
- 150g golden caster sugar
- 2 medium eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 360g plain flour
- 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 500g Fudge Pieces
Method:
- STEP 1
Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line two baking sheets with parchment. Cream the butter and sugars together until very light and fluffy, then beat in the egg and vanilla. Once combined, stir in the flour, bicarb, fudge pieces and ¼ tsp salt.
- STEP 2
Scoop 10 large tbsps of the mixture onto the trays, leaving enough space between each to allow for spreading. Bake for 10-12 mins or until firm at the edges but still soft in the middle – they will harden a little as they cool. Leave to cool on the tray for a few mins before eating warm, or transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Will keep for three days in an airtight container.
STEP 3
This mixture freezes well, and can be taken out and baked from frozen. Please allow an extra 5 minutes cooking time, if cooking from frozen.
