Sam's Eye Poppin' Cookies

This recipe is from Sam Fisher who scored very highly in the Under 8s category with his yummy cookies

125g plain flour
1/2 tsp bicarb soda
50g soft brown sugar
50g caster sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
70g butter (softened)
1 large egg, beaten
100g dark chocolate, roughly chopped

preheat oven to 180c, and grease 2 baking sheets

Put flour, bicarb, both sugars, vanilla extract and butter into a food processor for a few seconds. Blend in egg briefly then chopped chocolate.

Divide mix into 8, and place 4 blobs, well-spaced (so they don't join together - which some did anyway with our wonky sheets), onto each baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes or till golden. Allow to cool for a few minutes before lifting onto wire racks to cool completely.

Decorate with melted dark chocolate - Sam put chocolate sprinkles and mini marshmallows on to the chocolate while still wet.

YUM!
