Tip

This recipe was converted from Nigella Lawson's 2010 book Nigella Kitchen.

I republished her original ingredient quantities but I cut the sugar down to just brown sugar, no caster. 

Baking time with cookies depends on your preference and oven - just watch them, as soon as the edges start to brown, take them out and let them cool. They'll set firm and chewy.

    Recipe is created for
    TM 5
    If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
    For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
    Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

    A really unusual choc chip biscuit recipe. A cross between a cake and biscuit! I stuck with the recommended sugar quantities. I used a whole packet of Cadbury choc chips and you honestly don't need any more. Plenty of sweetness from the choc chips alone. Yummy!

    yummo!  These are indulgent. I didn't have enough dark choc chips so I used white choc chip as well. Easy recipe to follow. I have cooked these before without puttng them in the fridge. They still make a yummy biscuit but not as good a texture. 

    I did do less sugar as suggested and I definatly recommend that for others as they are rice enough with all the choc chips.

    These are great! The first recipe I've found that gives a soft chewy cookie that still retains a degree of firmness. I didn't have choc chips so just chopped up a block of dark chocolate beforehand. Will definitely be making these again!
