Choc-Chip Cookies!

I was really craving choc-chip cookies and fudge today, but Mum said I had to make a choice. I chose the cookies (well, technically she said 'I hate fudge and cookies, but cookies are better!). This recipe is off of my favourite food website, taste.com. Almost all of the comments were good, except a few said that the dough was a bit sticky, so I chose to add only a little bit more flour. Anyway, these are the Gooey Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Ingredients:
- 185g of butter, softened
- 1 cup of brown sugar
- 1/2 of a cup of caster sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 cups of plain flour (I added about a tablespoon more)
- 1/2 a teaspoon of baking powder
- 200g of dark chocolate, roughly chopped

How To Make It:
1. Preheat your oven to 180˚C
2. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper
3. Put both sugars and butter into a medium bowl
4. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth, creamy and pale in colour
5. Add in the egg and egg yolk and beat until well combined
6. Add the flour and baking powder, and stir with a wooden spoon until well combined (I used a spatula, but it's nearly the same thing)
7. Add the chocolate and stir until combined (make sure the choc-chips are evenly dispersed throughout the mixture)
8. Roll balls about 5cm's wide, place on tray with spaces between, and press down slightly (when they are cooked, they pretty much double in size)
9. Put in oven for 12 minutes or an extra 5 minutes if you want them crispier (Mine were in the oven for almost 20 minutes and they were still quite soft, but keep checking them whilst they are in there)
10. Take out of oven, and leave on tray for about 3 minutes to firm up, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Turned out really yummy!
