Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Cream the butter and sugar together using a wooden spoon or an electric whisk in a large bowl until light, fluffy and golden.

  • step 2

    Stir in the vanilla, flour, baking powder and chocolate chips. Add 1 tbsp water to bring the mixture together if needed, and the cocoa powder to make them chocolate cookies, if you like. Bring the dough together into a ball with your hands.

  • step 3

    Sprinkle some flour over your work surface and the dough. Roll out the dough until 3mm thick and, using cookie cutters, cut them out and lay them out on lined baking sheets, spacing them well apart.

  • step 4

    Bake for about 12 mins or until golden brown. If baking on two trays, swap the trays over halfway through cooking. Leave on the baking sheets for 5 mins, then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Will keep in an airtight tin for three-four days.

These cookies are brilliant and I love making them for my brother who has an allergy to eggs. Taste great and are so easy to make, would highly recommend this recipe!

i added everything in and i was at the step where the cookie had to be made into dough,it was too watery (could be a mistake i made by adding too much water) so i ended up making it into a cake and it was still good!

My fussy eater child said I should start my own cookie business. These are so good! I used vanilla paste instead of essence and dark chocolate chips. They came out beautiful.

Love this recipe thank you - I really hate the smell of eggs in cookies, and hate cakey cookies. These had a nice crunch but not dry inside. I didn't cream the butter and sugar, I just melted the butter slightly and used a wooden spoon to give a quick stir. And I halved the amount of baking powder…

Oh I also used a little milk instead of water

question

How long will the uncooked dough last in the fridge

Hi, thanks for your question. As this contains self raising flour it's best to use it straight away or freeze it. It's perfectly safe to keep it in the fridge for 2-3 days, however they won't rise very much as the self raising flour will no longer be active. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.
