Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

Sometimes it happens that you are all set to make something and then suddenly you realise that one or two ingredients are missing. Thats what happened today. This recipe calls for walnuts and it just slipped off my mind that I had used them up in something else. So, I had to do with out it, but next time I will make sure to check properly before setting out to bake it. Walnuts would have added a nice crunch to these cookies.

The recipe called for an egg which I replaced with baking powder. Also, I used caster sugar instead of equal quantities muscovado and golden granulated sugar. They turned out good and we loved it.

Sending this off to Champa's Baking from a Book- Cookies and her weekly Bake -Off.

Makes 8 Cookies:
Ingredients:

1/2 cup AP flour.
1/4 cup caster sugar.
1 tbsp cocoa powder.
1/4 butter at room tempreture.
1/4 tsp baking soda.
1/2 tsp baking powder.
3 tbsp milk chocolate chips.
2 tbsp chopped walnuts.
1/2 tsp vanilla essence.

Process:

Preheat the oven 10 180 C and grease a large baking sheet. Add the butter and caster sugar in a bowl and beat till light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla essence. Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and baking powder. Stir it in the butter mixture and add the chopped walnuts and chocolate chips. Drop dessertspoonfuls of the mixture on to the baking sheets, spaced well apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the oven for 10-15 mins till done. Take them out to cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Enjoy!
