she bakes: chocolate chip Moro cookies

This is my classic chocolate chip cookie recipe which never fails. I have been making it for years and it always produces amazing cookies every time. Today I felt like mixing things up a little and being a little extra naughty so I added in some chopped up Moro bars. A Moro bar is a New Zealand chocolate bar which is similar to a mars bar but probably a hundred times more delicious.

Basically the Moro went all melty inside the cookie and left this chewy caramely-nougat-chocolatey goodness in each cookie. Why the hell have I left it this long to make these?! 

I don't remember where i got the cookie recipe from. It's a printed recipe which is now covered in writing and remnants of dough. Fortunately you won't be getting that recipe, you'll get a shiny typed out version at the bottom of this post.

Recipe

2 1/4 cups plain flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
170g unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
1 large cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 Tbs vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
300g chocolate chips
3-4 Moro bars, chopped

Sift flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

Stir together the melted butter, brown sugar, white sugar and vanilla. Add egg, then the yolk. Beat well to ensure that the egg is evenly distributed. Stir in dry ingredients, then fold in chocolate chips and Moro. Cover with clingfilm and chill dough until firm, at least 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 190C/Gas mark 5

Drop 1/4 cup sized mounds of dough onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper. You can make them smaller if you wish. 

Bake in preheated oven for approximately 10-12 minutes or until edges begin to turn golden. You don't want to overcook them as you still want them to be chewy. 

Cool on a wire rack then devour.

Hope you enjoyed this recipe!! :)

she makes: wardrobe organisation

                          

My wardrobe was getting entirely too messy with shoes everywhere so I thought I'd share with you a little snippet of my before and after. 

I went to the warehouse and bought some bookshelves which were about 2 for $35. These ones were 3 tier but they come in 2 and 4 tier also, as well as on white, black and wood veneer. 

All I did was put them together and turn them on their side then stacked shoes in and on too of them. It looks so much better now and even if it gets a little messy it's still tidy (If that makes sense).

Hope you enjoyed this post :)
