Cook Time: 10 min
Prep Time: 10 min
Yield: 1 cookie
Ingredients
- 1.25 tbsp butter (18g)
- 1 tbsp brown sugar, packed (13g)
- ½ tbsp white sugar (7g)
- ½ egg yolk
- 3 tbsp flour (25g)
- ⅛ tsp baking soda
- Pinch of salt
- 1 oz chopped dark chocolate (28g)
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a small bowl in the microwave, using 8s increments
- Add the white and brown sugar, and whisk for 1-2 minutes
- Add half of an egg yolk and whisk again for 30-60 seconds. The mixture should look very smooth at this point
- Sift in the flour, baking soda and salt, and use a small rubber spatula or spoon to very gently fold until the flour is almost combined (but not fully)
- Add the chopped chocolate and continue to gently fold only until no more streaks of flour are visible. You should not overmix after adding the dry ingredients and chocolate!
- The batter will be a bit runny at this point – don’t worry and chuck into the freezer for 10-15 minutes
- In the meanwhile, pre-heat the oven to 375F and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper
- Once the dough is chilled, gently form it into a ball, and place onto the baking sheet
- Bake for just 10-12 minutes until the cookie is firm around the edges but a bit soft in the middle
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before eating!
Notes
- You should chill the cookie dough for a minimum of 10-15 minutes in the freezer. However, you can also chill for longer in the fridge, and more chilling will give better results in flavor and texture. I find 2 hours in the fridge to be optimum
- It is best to use a light colored baking sheet, as baking on darker sheets will cause the cookie to become too brown and crispy on the bottom
