We've helped you master the McDonald's Sausage and Egg McMuffin, and cured your craving for IKEA meatballs.
And now it’s time for Alison’s take on Pret's delicious chocolate chip cookies!
Orange and chocolate cookies
Serves: makes 10 cookies
Ingredients
170g caster sugar
85g light brown sugar
110g butter, melted and cooled
1 large egg
200g self-raising flour
½ tsp salt
100g milk chocolate chips / chunks / chopped chocolate
Finely grated zest of 1 large orange
Method
Preheat the oven to 200C, fan 180, gas 6. Line two baking sheets with non-stick baking paper
Place the sugar in a large bowl then mix the melted butter in thoroughly. Beat in the egg, then gently stir in the flour and orange zest. Add the chocolate and mix in for just a few seconds – it might be easier to use your hands!
Divide the dough into 10 evenly sized balls. Place on the baking sheets, spacing them out well, and press down lightly to flatten.
Bake for about 10 -14 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown. Leave on the baking tray to cool, as they are very delicate and soft when hot.
