Chocolate Chip Cookies with Candied Fruit
Chocolate cookies are super easy to make at home and homemade cookies always taste better than the store-bought stuff.
They are a sweet treat that we are told are not so good for our health, but an occasional snack won’t do too much harm – especially when they are lovingly prepared at home and shared with friends or eaten in solitary peace and quiet.
These chocolate chip cookies are also colorful and visually appealing. Make them for a birthday party or for an everyday treat for kids, and adults of course.

- Add the egg and mix until smooth.
- Gradually add the melted chocolate and vanilla then mix gently.
- Incorporate the flour in batches and when the dough becomes too hard to work, stop mixing.

- Preheat the oven to medium heat. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
- Take the dough out of the fridge and roll it out into a 0.3cm (0.12 inch) thin sheet. Cut out circles with a cutter transfer to the tray.

Icing:
- Melt the butter and dark chocolate broken into pieces in a bain marie.
- Homogenize then put a spoonful of the cream on each cookie.
