Much excitement on the defective housewife front, I am now a housewife in my very own home rather than stealing everyone else's kitchens I could get my hands on! And my kitchen - its a thing of beauty and droolingness, PERFECT for whipping up new recipes to bring to you lovely lot. I obviously had to try out the oven within 48 hours of moving in and with a pretty limited store cupboard so these cookies came from sheer excitement and have now been made 5 times in the last two weeks since we got the keys! Each batch yields around 17 cookies which last approximately 20 seconds...
Ingredients:
2 cups plain flour
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 bar dark chocolate
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup caster sugar
1/2 cup plus 1 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp water
1 tsp cinnamon
1 bag mini marshmallows - I use vegan ones
Method:
Place the flour, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon into a bowl and stir together. Break up and cut the bar of chocolate into chocolate chip sized pieces and add this to the bowl along with the marshmallows and coat well with the flour mix.
In a separate bowl, mix together the sugars, oil and water to create a smooth mixture. Carefully fold in the dry ingredients, mixing until all the flour is incorporated and no more.
Line two baking trays with greaseproof paper. Take a tbsp of mixture and roll between your hands to create a ball then place on the baking trays, repeat until all the mixture is used leaving a good couple of inches between each cookie ball as they spread massively when baked.
Pop the mixture into the freezer for a minimum of 30 minutes, preheat your oven to 160c fan (180c non-fan) at least 15 minutes before putting the cookies into the oven. Bake for around 15 minutes until golden brown and soft to the touch. Place on a cooling rack and the cookies will firm up and crack as they cool, gaining the stereotypical cookie look.
When you make these, please take a picture and tag me using #diaryofadefectivehousewife.
Enjoy!
