I do love a chocolate cookie, from time to time, and came across a recipe on youtube from Cupcake Jemma . She calls the Ultimate, rather than my Easy. I had to adapt the recipe slightly, since Jemma uses rye flour and I used plain. But the recipe is very easy to follow and works very well indeed.
I also cooked mine for longer than Jemma suggested, and they still turned out nice and moist inside, as well as having a nice crunch around the edges.
So I was very pleased with the result, a lovely chocolatey cookie, with a hit of salt as well.
