Whole lotta chocolate chip cookies

I made these the other night but didn't get to photograph them as they all disappeared too quickly!!

These are so rich and full to the brim with chocolate that I call them "evil"!

Ingredients:
125g/4 1/2 oz plain flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
...25g/1oz cup cocoa powder
125g/4 1/2 oz good quality dark chocolate
85g/3 1/2 oz butter, softened
175g/6 oz soft light brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
350g/12 oz milk chocolate chips
55g/2 oz white chocolate chunks

Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4.
Sift the flour, baking soda and cocoa into a large bowl and set aside. 

Break the dark chocolate up into little pieces and melt in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of hot water. Let it cool slightly.
 

Cream the butter amd sugar together in another large bowl until light and fluffy, then beat in the eggs and the vanilla extract.
 

Stir the melted chocolate into the mixture, the the milk and white chocolate chunks.
 

Fold all this gooey mess into the flour mix and drop small spoonfuls of the mixture on to your baking sheets, leaving good gaps between them.
 

Bake for 10 minutes (maybe less, depends on your oven), then leave them on their sheets to harden slightly before transferring them to wire racks to cool.
