Ingredients:
- 220g all-purpose flour
- 50g Salcombe Dairy hot chocolate powder
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 170g unsalted butter, softened
- 150g caster sugar
- 150g packed light brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 150g chocolate chips
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 175°C. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, hot chocolate powder, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a separate bowl, with an electric whisk beat the softened butter and sugars until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
-
Next beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.
-
Through a sieve gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Be careful not to over-mix.
-
Finally, gently fold in the chocolate chips (or chopped Salcombe Dairy bean to bar chocolate) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers still look slightly soft. The cookies will continue to cook as they cool on the baking sheets.
-
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Baking Hacks:
- For extra chocolatey cookies, consider adding a mix of milk chocolate and dark chocolate chips.
- Before transferring to a wire rack gentle place a cookie cutter over the top and with gentle circles gradually shape the warm cookies into even rounds.
- To ensure even baking, bake one sheet at a time in the center of the oven.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Enjoy your delicious chocolate chip cookies warm or cold.
