Chocolate Chunk Cookies

When you get asked if you want to try out some new chocolate it's a no brainer really, especially if it's connoisseur chocolate from Elizabeth Shaw. I could've kept the chocolate to myself but being the kind and generous Mum that I am I decided to make some cookies with one of the bars - dark chocolate Blackberry & Ginger. I didn't add any other flavour to the cookies to see how much the flavour of the chocolate would come through. You could definitely taste a fruitiness of the blackberries in the cookie, backed up with a mild ginger flavour, and the kids loved them!

Chocolate Chunk Cookies

100g Butter, softened
125g Caster sugar
1 Egg
150g SR Flour
100g Elizabeth Shaw Blackberry & Ginger chocolate (ok maybe it was less than 100g as it's the cooks prerogative to try a little first), chopped

• Beat the butter & sugar together until creamy
• Beat the egg & add to the butter & sugar
• Mix in the flour and the chopped chocolate
• Take spoonfuls of the mix and place on a greased baking sheet, approx 5cm apart
• Bake in a preheated 170 C oven for approx 8-10 minutes
• Cool on a wire rack

I was sent some Elizabeth Shaw chocolate but wasn't obliged to write about it
