Calories: 154kcal
Ingredients
- 260g plain flour (all-purpose flour)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes
- ¾ teaspoon bicarbonate soda (baking soda)
- 125g unsalted butter soft at room temperature
- 100g soft light brown sugar
- 70g granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg room temperature
- 200g milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- To a large bowl, add and mix the flour, salt and bicarbonate soda. In another bowl, use a hand whisk to cream the butter and both sugars together until light and fluffy. You can also do this using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment.
- Add in the vanilla, the egg and mix until smooth. Gently fold in the dry ingredients then mix in the chocolate chips.
- Roll the dough into 20 balls which weigh around 40g each then use a palette knife to press down on each ball so they resemble a thick disk as pictured above.
- Place the cookies in the fridge for 1 hour to chill. You can also freeze them to bake at a later date.
- Preheat the oven to gas mark 4/350oF/180oC/160oC Fan and place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Ensure there is space between them for a little spreading.
- Bake the cookies for 12 minutes from the fridge or 14 minutes if baking from the freezer. Once baked, allow the cookies to sit on the baking tray for 15 minutes to firm up then transfer them to a wire rack to completely cool.
