- Time: 1 hr 5 min
- Serving: 20 Cookies
Ingredients:
- 1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar
- 3/4 Cup Packed Brown Sugar
- 1 Tsp Salt
- 1/2 Cup Melted Unslated Butter
- 1 Egg
- 1 Tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 1/4 Cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 Tsp Baking Soda
- 4 oz Milk or Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chunks
- 4 oz Melted Unslated Butter
Instructions:
Step 1:
In a large bowl, whisk together the sugars, salt, and butter until a paste forms with no lumps.Step 2:
Whisk in the egg and vanilla, beating until light ribbons fall off the whisk and remain for a short while before falling back into the mixture.Step 3:
Sift in the flour and baking soda, then fold the mixture with a spatula (Be careful not to overmix, which would cause the gluten in the flour to toughen resulting in cakier cookies).Step 4:
Fold in the chocolate chunks, then chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. For a more intense toffee-like flavor and deeper color, chill the dough overnight. The longer the dough rests, the more complex its flavor will be.Step 5:
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.Step 6:
Scoop the dough with an ice-cream scoop onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, leaving at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space between cookies and 2 inches (5 cm) of space from the edges of the pan so that the cookies can spread evenly.Step 7:
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges have started to barely brown.Step 8:
Cool completely before serving and enjoy!
