Ingredients
- 140 g Unsalted butter that will make 125g browned butter
- 75 g Brown sugar
- 75 g Granulated sugar
- 1 Egg
- 100 g All purpose flour
- 100 g Bread flour can be replaced with All purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 200 g Semi sweet chocolate chips good quality eg. Valrhona or Callebaut
Instructions
- For the best results make 125 g brown butter using 140 g butter as per step 2. If want to skip this step, please jump onto step 3.
- Heat butter in a saucepan on medium heat, first it will melt then it will foam. It is ready when the white bits on the bottom of the pan will turn into golden brown and it has a nutty smell. Make sure you carefully watch it throughout the process, stir regularly and remove from the heat before it starts burning. Let it cool to room temperature before using it
- Mix in the egg, do not overmix or it will become rather like a cake, not cookie.
- Sift the two different kinds of flour, salt, and baking soda together then add the flour mixture into the dough, fold with Rubber spatula
- Before the flour mixture is fully combined into the dough add in the chocolate chunks
- Divide the dough into 10 equal balls (using a Digital scale is handy and place them on parchment paper 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 180 C / 356°F ( no fan)
- Remove the cookie dough from the fridge and bake the cookies for 15 minutes. The cookies might look under baked however they will set as they cool
- Sprinkle them with salt flakes to enhance the taste
- Store at room temperature
