Easter chocolate cookies

We had a great time during the cookery activities making chocolate cookies, so here is the recipe so you can make them again and again.

Chocolate and oat cookies, makes 20
100g chocolate chips
125g soft margarine or butter
125g caster sugar
1 egg beaten
125g self raising flour
1 tblsp cocoa powder
50g porridge oats

pre heat the oven to 180c or Gas 4

• cover a baking sheet with baking parchment
• put the margarine and sugar in a bowl and cream together
• add the egg, flour. cocoa powder and oats and mix together
• then add the chocolate chips
• scoop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the baking sheet, leaving a psace between each one to allow them to spread, don't worry if they merge, you can cut them apart.
• bake the cookies for 10 to 13 minutes until they are lightly browned
• leave to harden on the baking sheet and then place on a cooling rack to completely cool
• best eaten on the day but they can be kept in a tin but they are difficult to resist

Here is a slightly blurred photo of what they look like. Have fun making them again and have a good Easter.
