Ultimate Salted Triple Chocolate Cookies

0701

One of our favourite pastimes now the children are older, is to bake with them. Freddie in particular often suggests it, and will go and get one of our many cake/bread/biscuit recipe books, before picking out our ‘weekend recipe’. Both him and Sasha love the whole process- from beginning to understand the need for weighing out the different ingredients, to  helping me use the Kitchen Aid.

This past weekend we decided on baking cookies, but this time I adapted them for the baking treat with a twist: Ultimate Salted Triple Chocolate Cookies. As the years have gone on, I’ve grown more confident playing about with old favourites, and making them my own. I’m a big fan of salted caramel, as well as salted chocolate (hellooooooo Green and Black’s Salted Milk Chocolate!), so I decided to make these bad boys!

What’s great about these is the fact that they are so quick and easy to make, and you don’t have to chill or freeze the dough beforehand, which can be time consuming , especially if you have young children who are keen to crack on and get baking!

      They’re chewy but trial and error tells me that if you want them crunchy, bake them for an extra 10 minutes! x
