This is my kind of baking. Minimum ingredients, fuss and clean up.
A friend had been at me to make these for a long time. Now I’ve found something this simple he can make it his bleedin self!
Makes 12 cookies
Ingredients-
70g plain flour
300g Nutella
1 large egg
50g chocolate chips
Add the flour, Nutella and egg to a medium sized mixing bowl. Using a regular spoon, mix it up until the flour has been mixed through thoroughly. It will all mix in, don’t worry. I used a teaspoon as well also to mash the flour in, delicate flower that I am. It only takes a couple of minutes.
Once all a lovely even chocolatey colour, add the chocolate chips. Mix up to distribute the chips as evenly as possible.
You can either grease a baking tray or some greaseproof paper (less washing up in my eyes using the paper) and put it on the tray.
Preheat your oven to 180 C/ 350F/ Gas 4
Using the spoon, take small amounts of the mix, roll in your hand and space out aiming to fit twelve cookies on a standard baking tray. Realising I don’t have a proper baking tray, I used the oven chip/ pizza tray yoke. You know the ones with the holes that doesn’t make a blind bit of difference to a regular tray? ANYWAY.
It’s better to make them on the small size, and more like fat balls (teehee) and gently flatten them just a bit using your index and middle fingers. Some chocolate chips might be left over so plonk them on top of the cookies.
Bake in the oven for ten minutes and voila, all done! Leave to cool on the tray/ paper on a wire rack.
I got these silicone oven mitts in Penneys for €2 each. Love them!
Wait about fifteen minutes before removing them from the tray as they might crumble.
That’s it. Enjoy!
