Mix-Ins

Milk Chocolate Callets or Chopped - 50 grams (2 ounces)
Dark Chocolate Callets or Chopped - 50 grams (2 ounces)
Salt Flakes (optional)

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Dough

Melt the *butter* and pour it into a mixer. Add both types of sugar, and mix until the mixture is smooth and slightly cooled down. Add the *egg* and mix for 1-2 minutes until well combined.

Separately, sift and combine all the dry ingredients: *flour*, *cornstarch*, *baking powder*, *baking soda*, and *salt*. Gradually add this dry mix to the wet mixture. Mix just until combined to avoid overworking the dough.

Step 2

Add Chocolate

Gently stir in the chopped *milk* and *dark chocolates* until evenly distributed. Ensure the chocolate is mixed in quickly to prevent it from melting into the dough too much.

Step 3

Shape and Chill

Roll the dough into balls, each weighing approximately *100 grams* (or *3.5 ounces*). Place the balls on a tray and chill them in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. For best results, leave them to chill overnight.

Step 4

Bake Cookies

Preheat your oven to *170-180°C* (*340-355°F*). If using a convection oven, bake the cookies for 12-13 minutes. Without convection, you may need to allow 15-16 minutes of baking time. The edges of the cookies should turn a light brown while the centers remain soft.

Step 5

Finishing Touch

Once you remove the cookies from the oven, immediately press a few extra *chocolate pieces* into the tops of each cookie. Optionally, sprinkle some *salt flakes* over the tops for an enhanced flavor profile. Let the cookies cool a bit before serving, but they are especially delightful when served warm.

Servings

Freshly Baked and Ready-to-Eat: Enjoy these cookies fresh from the oven for a warm, gooey delight. The melty chocolate matched with a crisp edge and soft center is simply irresistible. If you’re inviting friends over, these cookies make for an impressive treat. ❤️

Turn it Into a Cookie Sandwich: Take your cookies to the next level by adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream between two cookies. The combination of warm and cold will tantalize your taste buds. Perfect for a fun dessert night! 🍦🍪

Pair with a Beverage: Nothing goes better with cookies than a tall glass of milk, some warm cocoa, or a freshly brewed cup of coffee. The classic cookie and milk pairing is not to be underestimated, but feel free to experiment with your favorite drink. ☕🥛

Equipment

Electric Mixer

A trusty mixer speeds up the mixing process and ensures a smooth, creamy butter and sugar blend. Although a stand mixer is ideal for consistency, a hand mixer works well too. Just ensure you mix until the sugars are fully integrated with the butter.

Variations

Gluten-Free Variation: Switch out the all-purpose flour with your favorite gluten-free flour blend. Ensure your baking powder and baking soda are gluten-free as well, and enjoy that chocolatey goodness without the gluten! 🌾❌

Vegan Variation: Use plant-based butter and replace the egg with a flaxseed egg (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water). Opt for dairy-free chocolate chips, and you’ve got yourself a vegan-friendly indulgence! 🌱✨

Faq

  • Why did my cookies spread too much?

    Ensure your butter isn't too warm or melted; it should be softened but still retain its structure. Also, chilling the dough helps prevent excessive spreading.

  • How do I know when my cookies are perfectly baked?

    Look for cookies that are light brown around the edges with a slightly undercooked center. They’ll continue to set on the baking sheet as they cool.

  • Can I use chocolate bars instead of chips?

    Absolutely! Just chop your favorite chocolate bar into small chunks. This can add a gourmet touch to your cookies.

  • What’s the best way to store these cookies?

    Keep your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them up to three months.

  • How can I make my cookies chewier?

    Try increasing the brown sugar and reducing the white sugar slightly. You can also underbake them just a tad for that chewy, gooey center.

  • Can I freeze the dough for later use?

    Yes, roll your dough into balls, let them chill in the fridge, then freeze them. Bake straight from the freezer, just add a couple of extra minutes to the bake time.
