I have always loved this recipe and sometimes make the cookies in a large batch, freeze them and thaw 1-2 cookies for a snack! But it can be quite dangerous when I bake the whole batch, given my lack of self-control when it comes to anything with chocolate.
My favourite bit of the cookies is actually this mixture. Yummm!
Also, I have been giving some away to my neighbours as well or else this unhealthy lifestyle would eat me alive.
This batch turned out to be the perfect level of chewiness and sweet taste. I added a pinch of salt to avoid making it sickeningly sweet...
Ingredients:
Makes up to 25 cookies
½ cup caster sugar (100 g)
¾ cup brown sugar (165 g)
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted melted butter (115 g)
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour(155 g)
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 bar of dark chocolate (200 g)
Instructions:
In a large bowl, whisk together the sugars, salt, and butter until a paste forms with no lumps.
Whisk in the egg and vanilla, beating until light ribbons fall off the whisk and remain for a short while before falling back into the mixture.
Sift in the flour and baking soda, then fold the mixture with a spatula.
Fold in the chocolate chunks, then chill the dough for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Scoop the dough with two spoons onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between cookies and from the edges of the pan so that the cookies can spread evenly.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges have started to barely brown.
Cool completely before serving.
Enjoy!
