Message: [QUOTE="Emmie, post: 44324, member: 5241"] You've inspired me [USER=4675]@ShuBunny[/USER] - I've made some cookie dough! Still no dairy-free chocolate in the house so I just made a dairy version and my husband and I will have to hide them from my toddler. :D I followed a different recipe just because I found one that named specific British branded products and remember Norcal talking about how recipes don't always transfer across the pond, so took the brand-specifics as a good sign. Plus I happened to have all the items in my cupboards! My recipe (omitting the brand names) was: 125g butter 115g light muscovado sugar 110g caster sugar 1 medium egg (I weighed mine and it was 48g) 1tsp vanilla extract 220g self raising flour 1/2 tsp salt 200g chocolate chips Key points: [LIST] [*]I actually used plain flour as I rarely use self-raising flour unless I'm making suet pastry or suet sponge. I think UK self-raising is different from US self-rising flour, but I added half a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda, which I think in US is baking soda. [*]I creamed the butter and sugars when the butter was 50F - maybe too cold? Also my mixer kept squishing it to the bottom and I think Norcal has said before that if the quantities are too small, mixers will struggle. So not sure creaming was great but I have always creamed butter at room temperature before so I'm excited to use new knowledge. [*]I chilled the egg - most people do not chill eggs in the UK. [*]I sifted in the dry ingredients. [*]Mixture never got above 65.5F. [/LIST] My little parcel of dough is chilling in the fridge overnight - I especially love this because I couldn't make cookies in the day with a toddler running around but tomorrow the work will be minimal. Recipe says to bake at 200C, which seems a bit high, for 7-10 minutes. But I'm very excited to give them a go tomorrow!
