Ingredients
- 125 g Salted butter
- ½ cup Brown sugar
- ¼ cup White sugar
- ¾ cup Plain flour
- ½ tsp Baking soda
- ½ tsp Salt
- ½ cup Cocoa powder
- 1 Large egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 1 cup Mini dark chocolate chips
- Sea salt for sprinkling optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Melt butter in the microwave in 15-30 second intervals until melted. Allow to cool slightly.
- Into a bowl, add flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda. Mix until well incorporated and set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add brown sugar, white sugar, and melted butter.
- Beat on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until well incorporated and most of the sugar has dissolved.
- Add the egg and vanilla. Beat for another 30 seconds.
- Add the flour mixture in two batches, mixing on the lowest setting just until incorporated.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Using two spoons, spoon the batter onto the lined baking tray to make 10 cookies.
- Sprinkle with sea salt flakes.
- Bake for 9 minutes. The center of the cookie will still be soft but will harden slightly when cooled.
- Allow the cookies to cool for 12-15 minutes on the baking tray, then transfer to a cooling rack.
Notes
- Use mini dark chocolate chips for a more evenly distributed chocolate flavor in every bite.
- Double the recipe to make a larger batch.
- The cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
