Directions

• Brown the butter in a saucepan. This will add a nutty and rich flavor to the cookies.

• In a bowl, add both the granulated and brown sugar to the butter and mix well.

• Add in the flour and bicarbonate of soda to the mixture and combine.

• Stir in the egg and mix until you have a smooth batter.

• Chop the chocolate into small chunks and mix into the batter (you can add more if you wish). Save some chocolate chunks to sprinkle on top.

• Preheat the oven to 170°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

• Using a spoon or cookie scoop, scoop out six large portions of dough onto the lined tray, leaving plenty of space between each one.

• Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown on the outside and soft in the center.

• Remove from the oven and sprinkle the cookies with sea salt flakes and the reserved chocolate chunks.

• Leave to cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
