I used to work for bens cookies and have made them at home loads of times defo a good one for family and friends my tip on this is to leave the dough in the fridge overnight and roll into balls just before cooking it keeps the cookies from speading to much we also used dark choc for the tripple cookies to. good cookies nice shapes and look at that melted middle :) one final tip to make the best cookies always use choc chunks never chips :) happy cooking
You don’t have an idea how much I’m grateful for this recipe. I left London 2 years ago and the only thing I couldn’t forget was ben’s cookies. I tried your recipe and it’s the same. Cheers !
I enjoy baking but NEVER get an outcome as good as the recipe suggests... UNTIL NOW! I was actually amazed at how well they came out; they're better than Ben's Cookies and much cheaper! THANK YOU!
This recipe is absolutely divine! I had to add just a little more flour to make it a dough as it was more of a buttercream consistency, but they came out remarkable! Thank you so much
I made these today and they taste great! - and actually pretty similar to ben's cookies too. I just used around 360g of chocolate instead of 400g and chopped them up into larger chunks, added a pinch of salt, and left the dough to chill in the fridge for 2 hours before baking them for 9 mins instead of 8. Thank you for the recipe!
Finally tried it today! So happy my kids liked it! So yummy! Cookies the way I like it! 🤩 Thank you so much for the recipe! 😘 Enjoying it here in Singapore since Ben’s cookies bid farewell here this year 😩 That’s why we are so grateful for this! 😍
I made this recipe except instead of adding cocoa powder I added brown sugar and it turned out amazing and now I make it a lot I what can I do I feel in love thanks for sharing the recipe 😊😚
Yes! Dangerously amazing. Verrry grateful to you for figuring out / finding out how to make them. I added the rind and zest of an orange + Terrys chocolate orange chunks and the result = addictive! Thanks again!!
Bella Bamba OMG!!!! AMAZING! I will have to try that as I LOVE terrys chocolate orange!!! you can also add like a spoonful of nutella in the middle! HEAVEN! xx
Making these right now! I've made slight anmendments- I've got no chocolate :( and I'm not using cocoa powder. But I'm still excited to see how it works out!
Step-by-Step Instructions by AI Transcript: Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius (395 degrees Fahrenheit). Gather the following ingredients: 275 grams of self-raising flour 300 grams of caster sugar 200 grams of butter 50 grams of cocoa powder 200 grams of milk chocolate 200 grams of white chocolate 1 egg 1. Cream together the butter and caster sugar. You can use a mixer or do it by hand. 2. Crack the egg into the mixture and mix it in. 3. Add the self-raising flour and cocoa powder to the mixture. Mix it until combined. If the mixture is too dry, you can add a dash of milk. 4. Add the chocolate chunks (milk and white) to the mixture and mix them in until they are evenly distributed. 5. Roll the cookie dough into balls about the size of a medium egg or slightly larger than a golf ball. 6. Place the dough balls onto a baking tray lined with foil, leaving enough space between them to allow for spreading. 7. Take a square of chocolate (either milk or white) and press it into the center of each dough ball, burying it with the surrounding dough. 8. Once you have prepared all the cookies on the tray, put them in the preheated oven for exactly 8 minutes. 9. After 8 minutes, remove the tray from the oven. The cookies will appear undercooked, but that's how they should be. 10. Let the cookies sit on the tray for at least 10-15 minutes to cool and firm up. They will develop a crust around the edges but remain gooey in the middle. 11. Carefully slide the cookies off the hot tray and allow them to cool completely. 12. Once cooled, enjoy your delicious cookies with their gooey centers and crisp edges. Note: The transcript mentioned making six cookies, Tash makes around 12 using these quantities, but usually cooks 6 and wraps the remaining dough in clog film and puts it in the fridge and then cook the rest the next night, they are much better warm and fresh out the oven! The video does not specify the preheat temperature for a fan oven. However, in general, when using a fan oven, it is recommended to lower the temperature by about 20 degrees Celsius (or 36 degrees Fahrenheit) compared to a conventional oven. Therefore, for a fan oven, you can try preheating it to around 180 degrees Celsius (or 355 degrees Fahrenheit) and monitor the cookies while baking to ensure they are cooked to your desired level.
Laua Mulikiha'amea Hey! this makes around 12, but I usually cook 6 and wrap the remaining dough in clog film and put it in the fridge and then cook the rest the next night as they are so much better warm and fresh out the oven! If I cooked all 12 I would eat them ALL! lol xx
Tashie Tinks Omg these were so perfect i ate 5 lol this is my fav cookies my family is annoying me to bake them again hahaha thankyou so much im a new fan
has anyone tried this cold?? ive made it sooo many times coz its soooooooooooooooooooo good!!! but I was wondering if it will be gooey if its cold. ive never had a chance to try it out coz it all goes straight away!!
Hi! I just wanna ask what was the temperature you use for baking that cookies? and what butter did you use? the unsalted? salted? or just the regular butter that we use at home? thank you :)
Hey Yeh I make them vanilla too just don't add the cocoa powder and add a little more flour like 300g flour instead of 275g and I also add a teaspoon of vanilla extract and they are amazing!!! X
Hi. I've tried baking these cookies. Delicious. However, when I kept them in air-tight containers, they were not csofy n chewy anymore. Could you help me with this?
Lee Anna Cambally Hey! Yeh I know I am yet to get over this problem too, I usually just bake what I am going to eat and keep the dough wrapped up until I want to bake more as they are so quick to cook and taste the best when warm! : ) if you find a solution let me know!! : )
hmmm they just go hard like the chocolate goes hard you can put them in the microwave for a few seconds and its better but always best fresh out the oven! xx
You might have too much flour, or you might have overcooked them. To prevent over cooking your cookies, watch out for your cookies as theyre baking, dont let ur oven bake ur cookies until they look brown, take ur cookies out when they look light golden even if the timer is still ticking, sometimes the timing isnt accurate. It might look and feel soft and underdone, but thats actually normal since after cooling the cookies for at least 15mins or until theyre no longer hot or warm, the sugars in the cookie will harden and the cookies will be easier to handle 😁
