Here's what to do to make these fudge and white choc chip cookies - it's a lovely easy recipe for kids to get stuck in with.

Here's how to make these fudge and white choc chip cookies.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180C (160C fan-assisted, 350F).

In a large bowl, put the margarine, golden syrup and sugar.

Beat until fluffy.

Add the vanilla and egg.

Beat until well combined.

Fold in the flour and the baking powder.

Add the white chocolate and fudge pieces.

Stir through, then chill the dough for 15 minutes or until you can roll a piece into a ball in your hand.

Form the dough into 12 equally sized balls and place 2-3 inches apart on a baking paper-lined baking sheet.

Squash them down by about half to create fat discs.

Bake for 10-12 minutes until they just start to go golden at the very edges – the idea is to get them out before they’re browned so that they stay chewy when cool.

Your vanilla fudge cookies will be very soft and slightly puffy when they first come out of the oven. Allow them to cool on the tray until they are firm enough to transfer to a wire cooling rack.

Do try these if you can. They are so, so yummy and really fun to make. What do you think?
