Ingredients

  • 110 grams butter melted
  • 100 grams brown sugar
  • 60 grams cane sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla paste
  • 140 grams plain white flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
  • 150 grams dark chocolate

Instructions

  • Mix the melted butter (110g) with the sugars (100g brown sugar and 60g cane sugar) for 2 minutes in a medium bowl.
  • Add the egg and vanilla paste (1 tsp). Whisk until creamy (about 1 minute).
  • Fold in the flour (140g), baking soda (½tsp), and salt (1tsp) until no streaks are visible.
  • Chop the chocolate (150g) into various sized pieces.
  • Add 110 grams chopped chocolate to the batter, and mix.
  • Use a cookie scoop or spoon to shape the cookies (I got 8 in total).
  • Rest the scooped balls on a plate in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 170°C (338°F) fan.
  • Place the scooped cookies on a lined baking sheet spaced apart (I baked 4 each time).
  • Top with the remaining chopped chocolate.
  • Bake for 10-11 minutes, until golden brown on the edges and barely set in the center.
  • Bang the baking sheet on a hard surface just as the cookies come out of the oven (to release any trapped air).
  • Then, shape them with a burger shaper or glass while still hot from the oven (or use a spoon).
  • Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  • Leave the cookies to cool for 2-3 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
  • Bake the remaining cookies in the same way. Enjoy.
