These are the first cookies after trying dozens that are astonishingly good. Chunky, chocolately and practically eaten by family by the time they come out of the oven. They are slightly crispy on the outside with the tiniest layer of caramelised brown sugar and chewier in the middle. Trust me on this, you have finally found your cookie recipe. I have to thank reddit for sharing this recipe with the world.
Makes two long tubes of dough ready for cutting, 30cm/12' in length each
Ingredients
240g plain flour
240g bread flour
1 and 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 and 1/2 teaspoons salt
283g Brown sugar
226g White caster Sugar
282g Butter
2 large eggs
1-2 teaspoons vanilla extract
566g Chopped chocolate
1. Sift flours, baking soda, baking powder and salt into a bowl.
2. In a seperate bowl, cream butter and sugars together for about 5 minutes, then beat in eggs one at a time. Stir in vanilla extract.
3. Add wet to dry ingredients and add chopped chocolate.
4. Roll into tubes, cover in cling film and refrigerate for 24 hours, I have kept the dough up to 48 hours in the fridge and it has been fine.
5. Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius/356 degrees fahrenheit. Roll dough into generous golf balls, place well apart, cook for about 18/20 minutes (keep an eye on them).
