Ingredients

  • 115 grams (1/2 cup or 1 stick) unsalted butter, COLD (straight from the fridge), roughly chopped
  • 190 grams (1 cup) brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, cold
  • 210 grams (1 and 1/2 cups) plain flour or all purpose flour
  • 40 grams (1/2 cup) cocoa powder, sifted
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 150 grams (1 cup) dark or milk chocolate chunks, chopped by hand
  • 150 grams (1 cup) dark or milk chocolate chips

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F) standard / 160 C (320 F) fan-forced. Line two baking trays with baking or parchment paper.

  2. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, add cold butter and sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until combined and creamy. Add egg. Beat again until combined – but try not to over mix.

  3. 3

    Add flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt and beat on a low speed until soft cookie dough forms.

  4. 4

    Add all the chocolate and beat briefly. Scoop out cookie dough, roughly 2 tablespoons per cookie, and place on prepared oven trays, leaving room for the cookie to spread.

  5. 5

    Bake cookies for 12-14 minutes. Leave cookies to cool completely. They will firm up as they cool.
