DELICIOUS Cookie Dough Pots

Recipe: Quick Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Pots

Ingredients

• 100 g butter (soft)
• 100 g sugar (caster, golden caster, or soft brown sugar all work)
• 100 g plain flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• ~50 g milk chocolate chips (or as much as desired; substitutions include white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, chopped chocolate bars, chocolate buttons, or fudge bars)
• Pinch of salt

Equipment

• Wooden spoon (for mixing)
• Four small ramekins or pots (no need to grease)
• Oven preheated to 180°C (350°F)
• Baking tray (to place ramekins on for easy handling)

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and sugar. Mix together with a wooden spoon until well combined.
3. Add the plain flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt to the butter-sugar mixture. Stir to combine.
4. Add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix everything thoroughly with the wooden spoon until you have a cookie dough batter.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips or your chosen chocolate substitute.
6. Divide the cookie dough evenly into the four ramekins.
7. Place the ramekins spaced apart on a baking tray.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, until cooked through but still soft inside.
9. Serve warm, ideally topped with a scoop of ice cream for contrast.
