Chocolate Chip Cookie Thingymabobs!





Hey Guys!
So I had the sudden urge to bake and I really fancied making some chocolate chip cookies!
As I was cooking I fancied making some buttercream icing aswell
So I combined the two together and ended up with a whoopie pie type baked good!
And to be honest, they taste SO nice!
I'm not sure whether to call them whoopie pies or not? 
Any suggestions?  
(Also I am not a professional cook/baker so of course my cooking isn't perfect) 


What You Need? 

Scales
Large Mixing Bowl
Baking Tray
Wooden Spoon  


Ingredients 

Chocolate Chip Cookies -
Margarine (75g/3oz)
Sugar (75g/3oz)
Self-Raising Flour (100g/4oz)
Cocoa Powder (1 tablespoon)
Milk (120ml/4fl oz)
Chocolate Chips

Buttercream Icing- 
Icing Sugar (125g/5oz)
Margarine (62.5g/2.5oz) 




Chocolate Chip Cookies











1) Pre-heat oven to 180'c/350'f (Gas Mark 4)


2) Grease your baking tray, using a paper towel and some margarine


3) Put margarine and sugar into the mixing bowl and mix with a wooden spoon until light and fluffy


4) Put the flour into the mix and stir in with a spoon, then add cocoa powder 

(I used one tablespoon, as I like mine chocolatey  add more or less depending on your personal taste) 


5) Then add the milk and chocolate chips! And mix it all together! 

6) Put about 10 teaspoons of the mixture on the greased baking tray (there will be about enough mixture for 2 batches) 

7) Put into oven for about 15-20 minutes 





Buttercream Icing











1) Put  icing sugar and margarine into mixing bowl

2) Add tablespoon of water and mix together until soft and creamy 

3) Add cocoa powder (again I like mine quite chocolatey) 

4) Mix together until blended! 

5) Using a spoon, spread mixture onto bottom side of the cookie (aim for a small amount in the middle to avoid it spilling over the edge) 

6) You can also add chocolate chips if you feel like being a crazy cat!

6) Place another cookie on top of mixture (to form whoopie pie shape) 
7) Place into fridge to cool and set! 

8) Eat and enjoy!
