📝Instructions

1

Let's start with the butter, 100g of it. Place it in a bowl.

2

Use unsalted butter. Slice the butter thinly. Thin slices help the butter return to room temperature quickly.

💡
CHEF'S WISDOM

Thinner slices increase the surface area, allowing for faster and more even warming.

3

If the butter is still a bit cold, microwave it at 500W for about 10-20 seconds.

⚠️
Caution

Microwave in short bursts to prevent melting the butter, which will negatively affect the cookie texture.

4

Mash and loosen the butter until it resembles mayonnaise.

💡
CHEF'S WISDOM

Creating this 'mayonnaise' texture ensures the butter will blend smoothly with the sugar, creating a uniform base for the cookie dough.

5

Add 150g of sugar to the butter.

💡
CHEF'S WISDOM

The high sugar content helps create the desired cookie texture

6

Add 5 drops of vanilla oil. Vanilla essence is fine if you can't find vanilla oil. Vanilla and chocolate pair beautifully!

💡
CHEF'S WISDOM

Vanilla enhances the sweetness of chocolate.

7

Add 260g of cake flour.

8

Add 1 tsp of baking powder and 0.5 tsp of salt.

💡
CHEF'S WISDOM

Salt balances the sweetness.

9

Use a rubber spatula to gently mix all these ingredients together.

10

Stop mixing when the dough is still crumbly but the flour is mostly incorporated.

11

Add 300g of roughly chopped chocolate.

12

Mix lightly, pressing the chocolate into the dough rather than kneading.

13

Divide the dough into 100g portions and shape them into balls.

14

Cover loosely with plastic wrap and chill in the freezer for 30 minutes.

15

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

16

Place the chilled dough balls on a baking sheet, leaving some space between them.

17

Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 14-15 minutes.

⚠️
Caution

Keep an eye on them toward the end to ensure they don't burn. Every oven is a little different!
