Hello everyone! What have you been up to lately? I have been up to all sorts but tonight I'm going to relax and do some baking.  Here is the recipe I always use for choc chip cookies, now you can have a relaxing evening of baking too! (And a fabulous weekend of gobbling cookies.)

Pinch of salt

1 ¼ cups (220g) dark choc chips

Add beaten egg gradually, beating well until combined.

Stir in peppermint essence.

Stir in sifted flour, cocoa and a pinch of salt.

Roll rounded teaspoons into balls and place well apart on trays; flatten slightly.
