Choco-Coco-Nibble Cookies

Rich chocolate cookies, slightly chewy in the middle, with white and dark chocolate chunks and a hint of coconut...heaven in cookie form!
This is really a re-working of my double chocolate cookie recipe but they are so delicious I thought I would share.  

Makes about 30 cookies (the mixture can be frozen)

Ingredients

100g Soft Butter, spreadable is fine

150g Caster Sugar

50g Soft Brown Sugar

1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

1 Large Egg

1 tablespoon Chocolate Syrup *

175g Self-Raising Flour

25g Dessicated Coconut

25g Cocoa

150-200g Chopped Chocolate, half white and half dark works a treat
Icing sugar for sprinkling
* I always have some Lyle's Chocolate Syrup in the cupboard for ice cream emergencies, you can use golden syrup instead.

• Preheat the oven to 175C (fan) and line a couple of baking trays.
• Using a wooden spoon, cream the butter, the sugars, vanilla extract and chocolate syrup together in a bowl until smooth. 
• Beat in the egg then stir in the flour, coconut and cocoa until you have a stiff dough.  Stir in the chopped chocolate until thoroughly combined.
• Spoon heaped teaspoons of the mixture onto the baking trays, leaving room for spreading around each one.  Squash each ball of dough just slightly using your fingers or the back of a spoon then sift a couple of teaspoons of icing sugar over the tray (this is not essential but achieves a crackly effect on top of each cookie).
• Bake for approx. 10 minutes until puffed and just starting to firm around the edges.
• Leave to cool for 5-10 minutes then transfer to a rack or plate.
