Chocolate cookies

Ingredients
4oz butter
8oz sugar
5 ¼ oz brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
3 eggs
8oz plain flour
2oz cocoa
1 ½ tsp baking powder
12oz chocolate chips

Method
Cream together butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Add vanilla essence and eggs (having cracked them first). Mix in flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Stir in chocolate chips.
Grease some baking trays with butter, and cover with a very thin layer of flour (this prevents the cookies sticking as much). Put large teaspoons of the mixture on the baking trays – be careful to separate them quite a bit as they do spread. Cook at 190°C/375°F for about 10 minutes until a fork when inserted comes out clean (or rather with no cookie mixture on it).
Remove trays, let sit for about 5 minutes (or the cookies break), then remove with a spatula and put on a cooling tray.
Makes about 48.
