Gooey Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

These are soooo Gooey and good. Not a bad word to utter about these! I had a look at several cookie recipes and settled on a combination of a few popular recipes with a favourite family recipe for 'same day biscuits' ... the recipe for which will be coming shortly. 

I am currently working in a prep school whilst I sorting out my career; its quite good fun and the children are rather insightful and amusing. I learnt at breakfast club today that it is their school disco for years 5 & 6 tonight. This threw up copious memories of my own experiences of school discos! The general separation of boys and girls on either side of the room,  until the uniting games of arches and snowball!! Panda pop drinks, crisp and sweets and of course the classic  song choices ... Saturday Night, Macarena, Cotton Eye Joe, Barbie Girl, 5,6,7,8.. , MMMBop, Pretty Fly (for a white guy) and a few spice girls and s club track thrown in for good measure! Whilst waitressing weddings at university I was amazed at how many sophisticated and high class affairs end the night with their DJ throwing out a few school disco classics! 

These gooey bits of goodness are a little present for the girls I have been working with in the nursery of the school. In my opinion they do a remarkable job providing exceptional care for the young children ... a task that should not be under estimated!
