Cook Time: 10 minutes
Difficulty: Easy
Makes: 12-14 Cookies depending on size
Ingredients –
1½ cups all-purpose flour
1¼ tsp salt flakes (use half the amount if using table salt)
¾ tsp baking soda
¾ cup unsalted butter, cubed
1 cup dark brown sugar
¼ cup (50 g) unrefined sugar
1 large egg
2 large egg yolks
2 tsp. vanilla bean paste
200g dark chocolate, coarsely chopped.
Method –
- Preheat your oven to 190°C
- Mix the flour, salt and baking powder in a large bowl and set aside.
- Melt 2/3 of the butter in a small saucepan over a medium heat and swirl the pan until the butter begins to foam and then browns.
- Pour the melted butter into a large heatproof mixing bowl and scrape down the sides of the saucepan to get the brown bits off and into the heatproof bowl.
- Allow the butter to cool slightly before adding in the remaining butter until it is all incorporated.
- Once butter is melted, add in the brown sugar and unrefined sugar then mix until smooth. Whisk in the egg and yolk until the sugar dissolves and you have a smooth mixture. Whisk in the vanilla bean paste then fold in the flour mixture until combined then fold in the chocolate.
Divide the mixture into 12 balls then on lined baking sheets, bake cookies for 8-10 minutes until golden brown and firm on the edges. Allow to cool on the baking sheets then enjoy.
