My favourite chocolate chunk cookies

One of my favourite food subjects of all time! Especially when they are fresh out the oven and the chocolate still has that glossy, melty look. So it only makes sense that I would share my go-to recipe right?!

---

Takes: 10 minutes to bake

Makes: 10 large cookies

Ingredients:

100g unsalted butter (can also use regular butter)

3/4 cup brown sugar

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla essence

1/4 tsp salt

175g plain flour

1 tsp baking soda

120g chocolate, chopped

Method:

Brown the butter: add butter into a small saucepan. Melt butter over a medium heat until it starts to turn into an amber colour (it will start to foam on the top). Transfer browned butter into a mixing bowl. Let it cool down for 10 minutes.

Make the dough: Add brown sugar and egg into the mixing bowl with the brown butter. Mix together until combined. Add in vanilla and salt. Add in plain flour and baking soda. Mix until a dough starts to form. Add in chocolate chunks and continue to mix until incorporated.

Cover and place bowl into the fridge for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 175 deg C, fan bake. Line a tray with baking paper.

Once dough has firmed up, scoop onto the tray, doesn’t have to be perfect!

Bake for 12-13 minutes, or until they are golden. Let them sit on the tray for 10 minutes before moving.

Optional and highly recommend sprinkling extra sea salt flakes on the top!
