Double Chocolate Cookies 🍪

Ingredients

• 115 g unsalted butter, room temperature

• 110 g light brown sugar, packed

• 50 g granulated sugar

• 1 large egg, room temperature

• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

• 130 g plain flour (all-purpose)

• 35 g cocoa powder

• ½ teaspoon baking soda

• ½ teaspoon baking powder

• ½ teaspoon fine salt

• 100 g milk chocolate chunks

• flaked sea salt for sprinkling, optional

Instructions

1. Cream butter and sugars. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat butter, light brown sugar and white sugar until light and fluffy, approximately 3 minutes.

2. Add egg and vanilla extract. Scrape down the side of the bowl and add the egg and vanilla and beat until just combined.

3. Dry ingredients go in. Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt and mix on low until just incorporated.

4. Scoop cookie dough balls and refrigerate. Using a cookie scoop or a heaped tablespoon, scoop the dough into 2cm (inch-wide) balls and place on a baking tray. Press the chocolates chunks onto the top of the balls. Refrigerate for at least 1-hour minimum, or freeze for 30 minutes. Overnight chilling in the fridge is ideal and baking unchilled dough will mean the cookies spread too much.

5. Bake and cool. Pre-heat oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper. Remove the cookie balls from the fridge or freezer and place them on the baking trays leaving at least 2 inches between balls.

6. Bake for 9-11 minutes. Remove baking tray(s) from the oven. Whilst the cookies are still hot, using a round cookie cutter or mug, place over the cookie and twirl the cookie inside, gently pushing the edges in so that the cookies form a round shape. Kind of like the cookie and cookie cutter are doing a hula dance!! Then sprinkle each cookie with flaked sea salt. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
