  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated white sugar
  • 1/2 cup (80 g) packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup (120 g) milk chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup (25 g) semi sweet chocolate chunk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the fan-oven to 160°C/320°F
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, salt and baking soda, set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add softened butter and beat for a minute then add white sugar, light brown sugar, vanilla extract and beat them until light and fluffy (about 1 minute)
  4. Add the egg and beat until well-combined.
  5. Add the dry ingredients in 3 batches, beat after each addition until just combined (avoid over beating)
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips and chunks.
  7. For best results or flavour, cover the dough and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  8. Scoop the cookies onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet by using ice-cream scoop,2 inches apart (cookies should be 2 inches apart)
  9. Press a few more chocolate chips/chunks on top of each ball.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes or until the edges of the cookies begin to turn golden brown. They will look a bit under baked in the middle, as they will continue to cook once out of the oven.
  11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
