11. Stir to combine until smooth
12. Add the chocolate chips
13. Stir until evenly distributed
14. Line a baking tray with parchment paper, or buttered tin foil – and place large tablespoon scoops – evenly spread apart (don’t flatten into cookie shapes – leave them as rough balls)
15. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes until they’re flatter and slightly cracking on top – they will be very soft – but will firm up a little when cooled – your oven may cook at a slightly different rate, so they may need a couple of minutes more – or less. Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
