  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5ml)
  • 200 g self-raising flour
  • 150 g chocolate polka dots

Instructions

Preparation:

  • Grease the baking trays if you aren't using a liner.

For the Chocolate Polka Dot Cookies:

  • Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the butter and sugars together on high
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract
  • On slow, mix in the flour
  • On very slow (or by hand), mix in the chocolate polka dots
  • You will have a ball of dough to put in a plastic bag/box with a lid or wrap in clingfilm
  • Chill in the fridge for about an hour
    You can leave it overnight if necessary
  • Preheat the oven to 190°C/ 170°C fan/ gas mark 5/ 375°F
  • Pinch dough from the ball and roll into a small ball in your hands. Use about the size of a heaped teaspoonful
    You will make about 18 cookies
  • Make the balls slightly taller than wide and slightly flatten on top
  • Put on the baking sheet leaving plenty of space between
  • Cook for 12-15 minutes until barely beginning to brown at the edges
    Check after 12 minutes - they will continue to cook out of the oven
  • Remove from the oven and leave on the baking sheet for 10 minutes
  • Transfer to a wire cooling rack.
