Chocolate Chip Cookies

I know that we've all got our favourite recipe for chocolate chip cookies (or maybe that's just me) but Erin's Cake Odyssey has peaked the interest in baking by weight. Meag's got this British cookbook that I got her for Christmas a couple of years ago and she wanted to make these cookies for Graham out of it. They turned out like little puffballs and, you guessed it, a little bland. Well, subtle anyway.

150 g unsalted butter
1/4 c soft brown sugar
1/3 c caster sugar
1 egg yolk
1 t vanilla
1 1/2 c self-raising flour
1/2 c dark chocolate bits
1/2 c milk chocolate bits

Beat wet together. Add flour and 1/2 of the chocolate bits and stir until just combined. Use your hands to press the mixture together to form a soft dough.

Roll lever tablespoons of the mixture into balls. Press the remaining chocolate bits firmly onto the tops of the balls. Bake for 15 minutes or until crisp and lightly browned and then cool on the trays.

Like I said, little bubbles but they looked really cute when I put them back to back, wrapped them in cello and a twist for the bake sale table at Irish Fest. They looked like a little candy. Shame about the flavour, I expected something a little richer.
