Equipment

Ingredients

  • 140 g Unsalted butter 82% fat, room temperature
  • 140 g Granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 Egg
  • 200 g All purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 150 g Chocolate Chips semi-sweet high quality chocolate
Metric - US Customary

Instructions

  • With an Electric hand mixer cream butter and sugar together for 2-3 minutes
  • Mix in the egg just until combined, then add vanilla
  • Sift flour, salt, and baking soda together then fold the flour mixture into the dough with Rubber spatula
  • Before the flour mixture fully combined into the dough add in chocolate chips
  • Divide the dough into 8 equal balls (using a Digital scale is handy) and place them 2 baking sheets leaving enough space between them to spread. Do not soften the surface of the ball, in fact, try to keep it as rough as possible for a nice, crackly surface. Let them rest in the fridge for an hour
  • Pre-heat oven to 170 C / 338 F (no fan)
  • Bake the cookies in the following way: Bake for 8 minutes, then place more chocolate chips on top, then bake for a further 4 minutes. The cookies might look under baked at this point, however they will set as they cool
  • At the 8 minutes mark, grab a. cookie cutter and apply circular movement around the cookies to make them perfectly round
  • Store at room temperature (in an air-tight jar) for 2-3 days

Notes

INGREDIENT NOTES:
  1. Measure your ingredients with a Digital scale for accuracy
  2. Use 82% European-style butter, pure vanilla extract and high-quality chocolate for the best taste
TECHNIQUE NOTES:
  1. Make sure you read my Expert tips section above to maximize your success. A short recipe alone is not able to cover all the necessary details, and science behind baking. 
  2. Use the wet ingredients (butter, egg) at room temperature
  3. Respect the chilling time in the recipe, do not skip it or the cookies might end up very flat
  4. Try not to overbake your cookies if you prefer them fudge and gooey
