Here is my first attempt at converting a faviourite recipe for the TM. I made these at 6am thismorning. The come out perfect. Please comment if you note any mistakes with the recipe. There are probably other recipes similar or the same as this but here we go anyway.
Choc Chip Cookies
150g Butter
100g Brown Sugar
85g White sugar (or Raw)
1 egg yolk
1 tsp vanilla
220 g Self raising Flour
choc chips as desired (I add 100 grams)
1) Pre heat oven to 180 degrees and line baking trays.
2) Place butter, sugars and vanilla into TM bowl and cream together for 20 seconds on speed 6, scrape down sides.
3) Add egg yolk and beat on speed 3 and gradually add flour, set lid to closed lid position and mix for 30 seconds on Interval speed.
4)Add choc bits and mix for 20 seconds on reverse + speed soft.
5) Roll mixture into balls and place 5 cm apart on prepared trays. bake for 10 - 12 minutes or until lightly browned.

Since loosing my most favorite M & M biscuit recipe I've been on the look out for another, will give this one a try :) Thanks!
-
No Problem, Everyone who tries these cookies wants the recipe. The cookies are a favorite in my house. I'm going to try and convert some other favorite recipes as well.
-
Roughly how many do you get out of the mixture dede? and a great conversion. :)
-
Hi Cornish Cream,
I made 38 today, which are around the average size biscuit when cooked. I don't make the balls of mixture overly big as they spread quiet well. I probably only have a dozen left now though as between my kids and some visitors they ate quiet a few. lol. But I guess they are made to eat.
-
Thanks Dede. :)
-
i will have to try this one soon, i made the chocchip cookies from the edc yesterday for the first time, and although they tasted great, they were quite a soft cookie. did i do something wrong, or is this the stlye of cookie? i cooked them for the recomended time and did look cooked, so took them out of oven. after eating them i thought they maybe needed longer cooking but the colour was right, if i had of left them in for longer i think they would have burned. anyone else had trhe same trouble?
well done dede for converting so soon, i have had my tm for 2 months now and am addicted to this forum and have cooked a different meal everyday since we got it! cant even remember my old recipes or how to cook without tmx now! too many yummy things on here to try.
nicky :P
-
I found the recipe from the EDC had too much butter. I tried it once and wasnt 100% happy with the result either that's why I decided to convert my own recipe. My recipe makes a nice crunchy cookie. So give it a go. Maybe it's because I only use the egg yolk. I have a friend who makes it but with the whole egg and her recipe is a softer cookie.
-
these are baking now!!!!!!!!!!!! mmm the raw mixture tasted good :P
-
Choc chip cookies are a real favourite in this house.
-
Nicky74 Hope you enjoy them. And choc chip cookies are always a favorites here too.
-
Thanks for the recipe Dede, what's the equivalent to "220 g Self raising Flour" using plain flour and ... Is it baking powder or bicarbonate of soda (sorry can't remember which your supposed to use)?
-
Hi tarasis,
The recipe for S/R flour is in the EDC. it reads
150g plain flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cream of Tartar (optional)
pinch of salt
Mix together
You would need to make up a double batch to get enough for the Choc chip recipe.
-
I would just use 220g plain flour and two good tsp of baking powder. :)
-
Thanks Dede & Chelsea that helps, ESP to have two options.
I do have an EDC but it's in German and that's not my strongest point ATM :) keep meaning to find out the contents of the UK version and order it if different enough. (though oh how I wish there was a PDF so I can use it on my iPad, digital cookbooks are useful)
-
Thanks. These are on the menu for tomorrow!
-
Tarasis there is a sample list (on a attachment) of the contents for the UK Fast and Easy Cooking on this thread started by courton
http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=3088.msg35594#msg35594
-
Thanks for the link Cornish Cream. Looks possibly useful, though like all recipe books a ton of things that I wouldn't touch in a month of Sunday's! :)
-
Thanks Dede, these have just come out of the oven. Lovely and crunchy and tasty and easy ;D. I make a very similar one which I tried in the TMX last week. I was going to post the recipe, but don't think I will anymore as this is almost the same :)
-
Made these today, very quick and easy and were well liked.
Thanks
-
I also made the cookies last night, they didn't go quite to plan (http://tarasis.net/2011/01/20/choc-chip-cookies/) but thats my own fault. Everyone (bar me, I think I put to much vanilla in) really liked the cookies, indeed half the batch is already gone.
-
Yum, i am book marking this one too. I din't rate the EDC recipe either, so can't wait to try this one.....
-
Kids will just about eat any cookie Tarasis so if they are disappearing, you did OK ;)

lol, thanks Judy. What was amusing was the oldest (5) rummaging around yesterday under the cooling tray to get every last crumb.
(weird seeing tarasis quoted so often, I'm used to it on Twitter but on forums its still strange)
-
This is the best chocolate chip cookie recipe ever Dede and I've tried a few over the decades. Thank you for a superb recipe for us all to enjoy. :)
-
yes i agree cc, i just made them this morning for the second time. went down just as well this time! also made some cinnamon shortbread this morning, really yummy, just the recipe from the edc with a shake of cinnamon. love how easy that recipe is (come to think of it, i dont know that anything is tricky with a thermomix!!!!!)
thanks again dede
nicky :P
-
I'm glad everyone is enjoying them. Cant remember where I got the recipe from as I have been making them for the last 10 years I reckon. I made these the other day but accidentally put the whole egg in and it did make a difference. I much prefer them with the yolk only method.
-
dede, just read your comment about the yolk only and remembered I had a couple in the fridge so I've whipped these up, had one and packaged some up for a friend who is popping in this morning. We don't eat a lot of biscuits in this house and I have just thrown out a couple of dozen of the last lot I made months ago. Lovely recipe, I cooked mine for 12 minutes and thank you for this one. I'm sure the grand-kids will appreciate them when I take some down to them.
-
I made these for the first time on the weekend - they were a last minute effort when at very short notice I foind out I had to take a cake or biscuits to a picnic. Within less than 15 minutes they were in the oven, and within half an hour they were on the bench cooling, and the washing up done!
I used rapadura sugar instead of brown sugar, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly.
They are DELICIOUS! The entire batch was eaten quick smart and admired by all. They will definitely be a regular in our house.
Thanks dede :-*
-
The only problem with these cookies is they don't last long enough. I have also made a double batch before but with the same problem. they are a favorite that's for sure.
-
My kids are going to thank you for this recipe when they come home from school ... they are really nice ... ;D
-
Glad you like them ellie j,
A good recipe is not a good recipe unless you share it. Well thats what I think anyway.
-
How easy were these! Thank you sooo much - we're onto our second batch!
-
Oh my gosh, these are so good! Thanks for the recipe ;D
-
Glad you guys like them. They are very Moorish
-
Beautiful recipe!
Thank you so much!
-
Just made these, i used white chocolate, they have been walking off the cooling rack by dh an ds.
I made 24, so mine must be bigger.
Another yum from us
Hallt

Hi, I want to try this recipe for Teacher's Day celebration in singapore. I just have a question on step 3:
3) Add egg yolk and beat on speed 3 and gradually add flour, set lid to closed lid position and mix for 30 seconds on Interval speed.
What is Interval speed?
Thanks!
-
Hi ultra_mao, Interval speed is the kneed :: button. Hope that helps.
-
Thank you so much for the clarification!
-
I decided to try these out since everyone is saying the EDC recipe is no good. They turned out really well but I only managed to make 24 as I seemed to make a bigger size.
Can someone tell me how to attach photos to comments?
Also, can you double this recipe or do you have to make two batches?
-
I have doubled the recipe before Tasty but it does make hard work for the TM so I would suggest making them separately. And to attach a photo whe you are leaving a reply there is an additional options choice at the bottom of the page which allows you to add an attachment photo (But make sure you check the maximum KB allowed for the photo size)
Hope that helps.
-
This was my first recipe conversion for the TM and I still make these regularly, Some times I will make larger ones and add smarties half way through cooking pushed on top of each biscuit then place them back in the oven to finish. Other times I will us rainbow choc chips instead or even white choc chips just for a bit of variety.
-
Yum! These are being enjoyed here. They are a bit too sweet but suspect my scales were doing funny things as I was weighing in the sugar!
Diet begins next week...

lol, Oops. My lot love them too.
-
:) i made these again yesterday, but I left out the egg yolk and added a tablespoon of white vinegar ;D to make them cruncher.
fantastic my kids loved them, so making more today.
Robyn ;D ;D
-
You will have to educate me Robyn - how does leaving out the egg yolk and adding vinegar make them crunchier??
-
That does sounds interesting about the vinegar, Robyn and Karen.
Just wondering if anyone can tell me how you" gradually add flour" --is it through the whole while the egg yolk is being mixed in at
speed 3?
No one esle has had this question, so I'm just a bit thick, but have sent son down the shop for choc chips, and want to get it right! Thanks in advance.
-
Okay, so what I did was added the flour in 3 x 50 g lots and mixed on 3 for a few seconds each time. Then mixed on interval speed. The cookies were great! Thanks for sharing.
-
lol, Sorry Lellyj, Just seen your comment. I actually don't add the flour gradually, I just throw it all in at once then give it a mix, scrape it down the a bit more of a mix before doing the knead speed.
Glad you liked them.
-
just out of the oven smell and look great
i also left out the egg but added 2 tablespoons of vinger and 60 grams of coconut
thanks dede

Robyn ;D ;D
obbie,would the vinegar tip work with any cookie/biscuit recipe
-
OMG!!! I just made these using rice flour, what a disaster, i tried googling to see if i could substitute rice flour for white flour, and the answer seemed to be a bit mixed, but one lady wrote that she just subbed it in choc chip cookies, so i thought i would give it a go, i added 2 tsp of baking powder also, well, i have one very flat mess! :'(
it tastes pretty awful too, not sure if i milled the riceflour for long enough as it is a hard and grainy. does anyone have any tips, i was trying really hard to make something as i am going out for morning tea tomorrow, and there will be a little 5 year old there who is wheat free, so i thought i would make something that everybody could eat, (i dont think anyone will want to eat these!!! :-[ )
now i dont know what to take tomorrow!
-
Nicky, here's (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=3800.0) a GF double choc chip biscuit recipe - either try that or compare it to what you did with your failed rice flour recipe.
-
thanks judydawn, i was just using riceflour as that was what i had in cupboard, and as it was 8pm when i decided to make them there was no way of getting gluten free stuff (and my cornflour was wheaten)
funny thing is, our morning tea got cancelled as the host went into hospital and had a baby!!!!! 2 weeks early. also, hosts husband is a chef, so dont think he would have been impressed at all!
-
Sprinkle some fruit juice/sherry over them. Put in the bottom of a nice bowl and add custard and then jelly over them. Choc chip trifle. Or stir them into a batch of vanilla icecream. (after crushing them)
-
I tried making shortbread once with riceflour that I had milled in the TM. They were terrible. I thought about using them as a cheesecake base but in the end decided not too. They were grainy and horrible and I didn't want to waste any more ingredients. I don't throw much away but they had to go. :)
-
yes, these are so grainy, i think adding anything else would be a waste too. the kids are actually eating them!
-
My children loved these ;D
I agree, much nicer than the EDC ones........
BTW, I accidentally left out the white sugar (too many interruptions >:() HOWEVER, I went ahead with them as I usually reduce the sugar amounts anyway - WELL, they were beautiful and I must admit that I won't add the white sugar next time I make them. It produced a lovely soft crunch (if that makes sense.....) I might try the vinegar trick next time as I find it really hard to make crunchy biscuits. So really hap with these - thanks!!!
-
Interesting Tam, I never thought of leaving out the white sugar. Might try that next time and see if the kids notice any difference. I make these often as they are always a favorite.
-
Dede, you won't be disappointed, I can't believe how sweet they were - my kids really loved them :)
-
Wow, made these last night and by the result will not be the last lol
-
Glad you enjoyed them thermo18.
-
Have made a few batches of these cookies now. Big success! Thanks for the recipe.
The last batch I halved the quantity of sugars, and added an extra 25g of chocolate. Still super delish.
-
They are great. And it's so easy to adjust the amount of sugar and choc chips to suit your taste.
Glad you enjoyed them.
-
*Hallelujah*!!
Well, if that's not the most delish little choc chip cookie I have ever tasted, slap me down silly!
Thanks Dede, she's a keeper, why oh why, did I wait so long?!
On a side note, made in to a lovely vegan, failsafe bickie too with some nuttlelex, egg replacer soy vegan chocolate :)
-
*Hallelujah*!!
Well, if that's not the most delish little choc chip cookie I have ever tasted, slap me down silly!
;D ;D I m glad you liked it LeeJ.
-
you got that I liked them then? glad that was interpreted correctly :D
-
Just made these and had a couple while still warm (couldn't stop at one!). I decided to make these just on a whim as i decided I wanted to cook something and just picked the first recipe on the list... I discovered while getting my ingredients out a half empty box of GF self raising flour that i had used a few months ago for a once off share dinner so i decided I better use it up lest it just go to waste so my cookies were gluten free :) and i stopped the flour from going to waste at the back of my cupboard! *goes off to just "taste" one more bickie...*
-
Lol. They are good ETC. yum your making me hungry.
-
I have been making this recipe for years and couldn't remember where I got the recipe from until the other day when I was flicking through an old Woman's weekly cook book that I have had for years ,and there it was :D
-
Dede, how much sugar and butter have you reduced effectively?
-
I usually add about half the amount of both brown and white sugar without to much effect on the taste. As for butter I have cut it down by half but found they didn't spread enough, so I now cut it down by 1/3 without any problems :)
-
Thanks..shall try your healthier version
-
I think I've stuffed these up. They are currently in the oven but the mix was like breadcrumbs and I had to squish it together. I'll find out in 9 mins I suppose :-\
Jadey :)
-
You're baking very late Jadey ;D Good luck with the cookies.
-
Ok well the cookies are done and they actually worked. :o
Thanks Judy I wanted chocolate so this was a good excuse.
Jadey :)
-
Jadey they are not usually crumbly, did you reduce the amount of butter? I found when I reduced the butter I needed to add the egg white as well to the recipe.
-
No dede,
Butter is the one thing I would never reduce lol.
I normally like soft chewy cookies too and these ended up crunchy so I wonder if I should give it another go maybe pre butter less flour? LoL
Jadey :)
-
This will now be my go to recipe for choc chip cookies, thanks Dede! I was pushed for time so chucked in the whole egg, which might be why they spread a little more than expected - still nice and crunchy though. Next time I'll try cutting down the sugar a bit, I doubt the kids would notice!
-
Deedub I'm glad you enjoyed them. They will always be a favorite in this house :D
I always cut down I the sugar now and no one has even noticed. They still eat them just as quick :D
-
Yum, dede!
Another thumbs up from here...made to go to DH's work...but didn't get there!!! :D
-
Lol Astarra, they are good :D
-
Thank you so much for the recipe - they're amazing. I replaced 50gms of the butter with copha and they were crunchy on the outside and beautifully chewy on the inside. This morning's batch is almost all gone :-)
Any tips on stopping the chips sinking to the bottom of the mix.
-
Toss them in flour before adding them Cuddle_cook, that should do the trick.
-
Made these cookies again today,it's a terrific recipe ;D
(http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad348/Cornish_cream/821aaad9a8a5e27cee3f909b0e0e54f4.jpg)
-
Glad to see people are still enjoying these. Still a regular in this house. :)
-
these are the best choc chip cookies mandi I make a batch at least once a week never fail and when the kids ask for mini ones in packets I just make these smaller put in mini zip lock bags and they are perfect;D;D
-
DD just made a batch, she got me to separate the egg for her, wasn't till they were in the oven we noticed she put the egg white in instead of the yolk. But still turned out perfect. :)
-
They look lovely CC.
That's good to know dede.
-
I am going to give these a go now too. :) Are they a crunchy or chewy cookie? I too read the EDC one and thought, TOO MUCH BUTTER, it must make HEAPS> Oh do you think these would freeze well? Thank you :)
-
Mrs Oliver they are a light crunchy biscuit. And I would think they would freeze well although I have never tried. :)
-
I'm sorry to say I don't think I'll be making these biscuits ever again,(well not soon anyway). ;)
The mix was great and no problem, I used milk and white chocolate chips and a few chopped macadamias as well, very nice. :D The only problem I have with them is that I ate far too many of them. They were just too nice.
-
Lol lucyluu, you had me worried there for a while reading your post :)
-
These are popular in out house too. They are rapidly disappearing from the biscuit container, and I will need to bake again very soon :(
-
Just made these yet again ...! Miss3 needed some time so we made these together. :)
SIL turned up when we were getting them out of the oven, and said they tasted like Subway cookies!!!!
-
I made these for the first time today and of course I wish I'd made them sooner! ;D It's such a great recipe, so easy and simple and using such basic ingredients. Thanks Mandi xx
-
Glad you liked them Amy. :)
-
I totally agree with you Amy,Dede's recipe is the best ever :)
-
Lovely cookies Amy. I must try these next.
-
Thank you ladies :)
DD's famous CCC's :D
-
Mandi, are these good for cockatiels? :-)) Clinker has taken a liking to them :P
I promise it wasn't me. It was mum ;D
-
I just made these tonight, subbing 2 Tbsp vinegar for the egg (since I was making them for a friend who can't eat eggs) and they are delicious! I was a bit scared as the mixture was very crumbly initially and then out of the oven, but they firmed up as they cooled and you'd never know there was no egg.
I love how quick they are and I doubt they'll last long in our place! ;D ;D
-
Mandi, are these good for cockatiels? :-)) Clinker has taken a liking to them :P
I promise it wasn't me. It was mum ;D
Lol, as long as he doesn't eat any of the chocolate. :)
-
Great, thanks Mandi, I'll have to tell the babysitter :-)) ;D
-
Ran out of biscuits today so decided to make what I think is the best choco chip cookies recipe ever for the biscuit barrel.DH and DS are pleased :D :D
(http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad348/Cornish_cream/cf45840f9849f3ce2eb3cadf3c6467e8.jpg)
-
There is nothing like a choccy chip cookie CC. I always make some to take away with us. They are sort of comforting.
-
This recipe works perfectly for you CC, lovely biscuits.
-
Great cookies CC. They look very uniform too.
-
they look great.
-
These are great, just made a batch to take out with us this afternoon. They are going to be a hit with the kids 😀😀😀
Thanks dede
-
DD bought a package of M&M just for this. Only 45g but that will do. Smell beautiful and looks great. Thank you, Mandi.
-
I made some of this cookies. Very delicious
-
I made these again yesterday
-
Gotta try. Less than 1 hour's work :)
-
These were Yum. I couldn't get the mixture to come together in the tmx. But brought it all together by hand once I tipped it onto the mat. (http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/12/02/arune8um.jpg)
I also added mint slice and sultanas to them. Yummy.
-
Itsnotartitsdinner they look great, love the variation idea yum :)
-
This is such a great recipe - it has become a staple in my house. I made these today with a new variation. My DH is always given chocolate covered ginger by one of our friends, and we had a couple of packets in the cupboard that had been there a little longer than they should have. Not wanting them to go to waste, I blitzed half a packet (100g) on turbo a couple of times, removed them from the bowl and proceeded with the recipe, replacing the choc chips with the choc ginger. They have turned out beautifully, and the best thing is that I have enough choc ginger to make 3 more batches.
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/16/tuda3yby.jpg)
-
It's nice to find a use for something different ES, you've just invented a new biscuit.
-
Made today and enjoyed by all. Great little recipe. Thanks.
-
ES, that sounds so good. Keeping my eye out for the choc coated ginger . . . . :D :-*
-
Another batch of Dede's choc chip cookies.Love this recipe ;D
(http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad348/Cornish_cream/dc804196a765589915c3e5a84042577a.jpg)
-
Great cookies CC. I will be making some of these to give to the GC at the weekend.
-
Thanks Margaret.I'm sure your GC will love them too ;D
-
i just made some too
38 cookies with a 1tbl ice cream scoop
freezing most of them so i don't eat them all :-))
-
Perfect cookies girls.
-
Choc Chip cookies never fail to impress. I think I may make a batch just before Christmas and wrap them in cellophane as little gifts.
-
I was planning on giving the T5 recipe a go tonight, i might have to make these instead.
-
Made a batch of these this morning.A firm favourite in our house.DH has eaten six already :-))
-
These work well with GF SR Flour too :D
Don't ask me how I know they are yummy... :-X ;)
-
LOL Atarra.
