Triple Chocolate And Butterscotch Cinnamon Cookies

sweet cookies that keep really well in the freezer

I made these cookies for Father’s Day (the reason I was in Thanet and couldn’t spend hours pouring over Emin’s work). At the last moment I found out that I was out of vanilla, so I substituted with cinnamon, which tasted delicious when dunked in tea. I also couldn’t help myself, so I threw in a handful of the butterscotch chips I received in my Food Penpal box (thanks again Nic!). The recipe says it makes 12-15 cookies, which must be about the size of a dinner plate each! I made 30, each a little bigger than their Maryland counterparts, and still have 2/3rds of the dough in my freezer.

I made these cookies for Father’s Day (the reason I was in Thanet and couldn’t spend hours pouring over Emin’s work). At the last moment I found out that I was out of vanilla, so I substituted with cinnamon, which tasted delicious when dunked in tea. I also couldn’t help myself, so I threw in a handful of the butterscotch chips I received in my Food Penpal box (thanks again Nic!). The recipe says it makes 12-15 cookies, which must be about the size of a dinner plate each! I made 30, each a little bigger than their Maryland counterparts, and still have 2/3rds of the dough in my freezer.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 190C and line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.

  2. In one bowl combine your dry ingredients and give a quick stir to combine.

  3. In a bowl with a mixer, beat together the butter and sugar.

  4. When creamed together add 1 tbsp of the flour mixture.

  5. Slowly beat the 2 eggs into the butter mixture.

  6. Gradually beat in the flour and then stir in the chocolate.

  7. Turn out the mixture onto a floured work surface and lightly knead for a few seconds until the mixture finishes coming together.

  8. Cut into thirds, and roll each third into a sausage.

  9. If baking straight away slice and place on a baking tray, widely spaced. Bake for 8 minutes.

  10. Wrap the remaining thirds in clingfilm and then freeze or refrigerate until needed.
