Choc-chip cookies

Dec 07 10:20am

Serves
Makes 28

Ingredients

125g butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup caster sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, lightly packed
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups self-raising flour, sifted
1/2 cup Dark Choc Bits

Method

1 Using an electric beater, mix butter, sugar and vanilla essence in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add the egg and beat until combined. Fold in flour, then the Choc Bits.

2 Line two oven trays with baking paper. Shape tablespoons of mixture into balls and place about 6cm apart on the trays.

3 Cook in a moderate oven (180C) for 10 to 12 minutes, or until biscuits are lightly browned. Remove from oven and stand for 5 minutes before turning out onto wire racks to cool.

4 Store in an airtight container.

Tip: These biscuits can be made up to four days ahead or frozen for up to two months.

How do you find 125 gram in weight without a set of scales?

You can measure with a cup instead. For example 125 grams of Plain Flour or Confectioners' Sugar is 1 and 1/8 cups. Its different for different ingredients: 125 grams of cocoa is one cup. you can find the conversions for other ingredients on http://allrecipes.com/HowTo/Convert ing-Cups-to-Grams/Detail.aspx

Can someone please tell me what flour "ALL PURPOSE FLOUR" is, I've got recipes that say to use 'all purpose flour" but i'm not sure if it's self raising or plain....
