Chunky Chocolate Orange Cookies


The problem with having Comic Relief Bake Offs all week is that it makes you want to bake things (when you should be working). I’m not really complaining though, because no weekend is complete without a bit of baking. I thought I’d make some cookies because I hardly ever made biscuits. These are banging, and taste best still warm from the oven.




Ingredients

9oz butter

2oz caster sugar

3 1/2oz light muscovado sugar

10oz self-raising flour

2tbsp milk

8oz of chocolate (I used a mixture of plain and dark infused with orange)

Zest of 1 orange

Preheat the oven to 180⁰C. Line a couple baking trays with baking parchment.


In a large mixing bowl cream together the butter and sugar.



Stir in the flour and milk, mixing well.





Add the grated zest of the orange.


Roughly chop the chocolate, and stir everything in.




The mixture makes around 18 cookies so place large blobs, well-spaced out, onto the baking trays, leaving room for them to spread. Flatten the tops gently with your fingertips.




Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden. They will still feel soft in the middle. Cool them on the trays for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
