Chocolate choc chip cookies

Embracing my kids in the kitchen is really paying off.

Just the other day I sat on the lounge with a cuppa, flicking through a magazine, while chatting to my son who was in the kitchen testing out his creation for Chocolate Choc Chip Cookies. The recipe invention had been on his mind for a while (off course it had to be chocolate on chocolate!)

So on the weekend between basketball and golf he whipped up this batch and saved me having to think about a healthy treat for lunch boxes this week.Winning!

He had a couple of attempts with this recipe (mum got involved the first time and apparently wrecked it a bit) before he was happy for me to blog it. And he wants me to tell you that for some reason, they are yummier after a couple of days!

Notes

These are delicious with my Notella spread on top : )

 NB: My kids are used to less sugar in recipes, if you are just starting to transition your kids away from sugar, you may decide you need more. A sneaky taste of the batter will tell.

Why not spread some Notella on top for some extra decadent deliciousness!
