Let's preface this post by saying that I love these cookies. When I was making them I ate approximately 1/4 of the dough before baking it. They rocked my world. So much that they are already gone and I need to make some more, today!
At first I was a bit hesitant about swapping two recipes for the Easter Swap Hop because I'm rather good at over committing myself and then stressing out...BUT I didn't want anyone to miss out so I did it anyway. AND i'm so glad I did because otherwise I may not have ever seen this recipe and my goodness, I have a new favourite cookie. I'm in love with Amy from Blanche & Lola for bringing these cookie into my life!
I think it smells like Christmas and tastes like home (if home had a taste of course). I've re-named them Spicy Choc Chip Cookies because they are more than just a regular choc chip cookie!
So here's the deal - This recipe is double the original and i made about 20 cookies (including a generous amount of dough snacking). You don't want to make just 12 I'm telling you now.
What you need:
200g butter
200g muscovado sugar (I used brown)
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp golden syrup
1 egg
1 egg
300g self-raising flour (I used GF SR-Flour)
2 tsp mixed spice
100g dark chocolate chips
How to make:
1. Cream together the butter and sugar
2. Stir in the golden syrup and vanilla extract (+ add egg)
3. Add the flour and spice and mix in
4. Stir in the chocolate chips (or smarties or m&m's etc.)
5. Grab a tablespoon and place on a baking tray lined with baking parchment with some space for stretching ;)
6. Bake for about 12 minutes in a pre-heated oven at 180 degree centigrade
(Original recipe didn't call for an egg but I thought the mixture seemed a bit dry).
Make it, you won't regret it.
And I have also realised i've posted SO many recipes on this blog in the past few weeks! So keep an eye out for some non-food related posts soon (I swear!)

Today I'm celebrating the birth of my older sister, who {sometimes} writes at Quirky & Curvy. Even 28 years later she's still looking out for me. Love you Jassie x
