(Experiment 157) Chocolate cookies

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 220 g butter room temperature
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 70 g dark chocolate hand chopped
  • 120 g chocolate chips

Instructions

  • In a standing mixer bowl cream the butter, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. When it has a nice consistency, add 1 egg and mix. When fully incorporated add the second one.
  • In a bowl mix, the flour and baking soda and slowly start adding it in the stand mixer. As soon as you don’t see any flour anymore, stop mixing, over mixing will make your cookie very crisp. Add all the chocolate and fold in the chocolate.
  • Cover your mixing bowl with plastic film and put it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes ( you can also let them spend the night in the fridge, it boosts the flavor). This step prevents the cookie from being flat because they melt too fast in the oven.
  • Preheat your oven at 350F
  • Lay parchment paper on a baking sheet and dump balls of dough. A reminder that those will expand so don’t put them next to each other, leave space. Cook for 12 minutes and repeat for the second batch. Note they will appear under baked, it’s fine!

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days. You can also freeze them for 3 months.
