Recipe courtesy of the Australian Womans Weekly Recipe Book, I think... Tom photocopied it from his work. Plagiarism!
125g softened butter
3/4c brown sugar
1 egg
1tsp vanilla
1c plain flour
1/4c self raising flour
1/3c cocoa
1/2tsp baking soda
90g dark chocolate
125g berries
- Preheat oven to 180 deg C
- Beat butter, sugar, egg and vanilla with an electric mixer until combined.
- Stir in flours, cocoa and soda alternately with chocolate and berries (I used tinned boysenberries)
- Drop tablespoons of mixture onto trays, flatten slightly (about 5cm apart, ideally more as these melt and spread)
- Bake for 15 minutes and let stand for 5 before transferring onto a wire rack.
Verdict: Tom loves them, but he's not picky. personally I think this recipe is better suited for brownie, or muffins. They never crisped up and are extremely moist which I don't like in cookies. Also, learn from my mistake - don't use the electric mixer when you add the berries! We ended up with a hundred undetectable berry fragments, which may have been where I went wrong.
All in all I'll never make this again, unless I make a brownie. However, the mixture was DELICIOUS, light and moussy. Should've just eaten it like that!
