Matty's Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies
Here is my go to recipe and top tips! In our house a must have is a spare log of cookie dough in the freezer at all times. That’s why whenever I make cookies I double the mix so I can store half away ready for a rainy day!
Servings: ~ 12 cookies
Prep Time: Minutes
Cook Time: Minutes
Total Time: Minutes
Ingredients
| Amount | Ingredient | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 150 g | Unsalted butter | softened |
| 150 g | Brown sugar | |
| 75g | Granulated sugar | |
| 1 | Egg | medium |
| 1 | Egg yolk | medium |
| 300g | All-purpose flour | |
| 2T | Malt powder | |
| 150g | Macadamia nuts | optional - can replace with more chocolate chips |
| 1/2 tsp | Baking soda | |
| 150g | Chocolate chips | milk (but I prefer semi-sweet) |
| 100g | Chocolate bar | 70% (or dark chocolate chocolate chunks) |
| 1 tsp | Sea salt | flaked |
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a saucepan and allow to sizzle and go to a golden color.
- Remove from heat, pour into a large mixing bowl, combine with sugars and allow to cool
- Add the eggs and whisk until pale and lighter in consistency.
- Add flour, malt powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt and fold until nearly combine.
- If using, roughly chop macadamia nuts and add into cookie dough mix.
- Chop the chocolate bar into large chunks and set aside half for later.
- Combine the remaining half of the chocolate chunks and chocolate chips with the cookie dough.
- Mix the chocolate until all ingredients are fully combined and evenly distributed.
- Roll out a long strip of cling film and place the cookie dough on top. Wrap with the cling films and roll into a log. Place in the fridge for an hour to firm up (or freezer for half an hour - I’m not very patient so use this one!).
- Remove cookie dough log from cling film and cut into 12 slices.
- Roll into a ball and place onto lined baking sheet.
- Press down lightly on each cookie dough ball and top with 2-3 chocolate chunks.
- Bake for 15-18mins at 160 C. (320 F)
- You want to remove the cookies when they’re still soft and appear slightly underdone in the middle. They’ll continue to cook and cool to create a soft, chewy cookie.
- Once baked, remove from oven and leave on baking tray for 5 minutes before allowing to cool completely on wire rack.
