- Using your fingers firstly crumble the mixture then as it comes together gently knead into a ball - if you have warm hands, then wrap the dough in cling and refrigerate for half an hour or more..
- Add chocolate chunks or whatever else you've chosen and press lightly into the cookie dough or halve the dough and make 2 different types of cookie..
- Roll mixture into small balls about 1½ inches diameter evenly space on baking sheet and slightly flatten top. A tip here: make cookie dough, roll into balls and then flatten, freeze on trays. When they are fully frozen transfer them to bags to store in freezer..
- Place in centre of oven or on racks as close as possible to centre of oven and bake for 8 - 10 minutes (8 minutes for top rack, 10 minutes for lower rack) - if using pre-made cookie dough from the freezer, place in trays 30 mins before baking and bake at same heat for 14 minutes.
- Remove from oven and leave to cool on their trays - if you move them too soon they may fall apart - when sufficiently cooled remove to wire racks to fully cool.
