Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 20 g butter, room temperature (1 tbsp + 1 tsp)
  • 15 g brown sugar (1 tbsp + 1 tsp)
  • 10 g granulated sugar (2 tsp)
  • 1 tbsp double cream or heavy cream
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 40 g plain flour or all-purpose flour (1/3 cup)
  • 1/8 tsp baking soda
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 30 g chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips (2 tbsps + 2 tsps)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pre-measure your ingredients. This keeps things organized and ensures everything blends just right.
  2. Let the butter soften. Bring the 20g of butter to room temperature for a creamy texture that mixes beautifully with the sugars.
  3. Cream the butter and sugars. In a small bowl, combine the soft butter with 15g of brown sugar and 10g of granulated sugar. Use a fork or spatula to beat until light and fluffy.
  4. Mix in the cream and vanilla. Add 1 tablespoon of double cream and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Blend until you have a silky mixture.
  5. Sift in the dry ingredients. In the same bowl, add 40g of flour, 1/8 teaspoon of baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Stir gently until a dough begins to form.
  6. Fold in the chocolate. Add 30g of chopped dark chocolate or chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
  7. Prep your oven. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Shape the dough into a ball and place it on parchment paper. Flatten it slightly to form a disc.
  8. Bake. Pop it in the oven for 10-12 minutes until the edges turn golden brown. Enjoy the delectable aroma wafting through your home!
  9. Cool and indulge. Allow the cookie to cool slightly on a wire rack, then savor that perfect crisp on the edges and soft chewy center.

Notes

Store the cookie for up to 3 days at room temperature in an airtight container, or refrigerate for a week. Reheat in the microwave for a few seconds before enjoying.
