This recipe makes 12 small cookies or 6 large ones!
Ingredients:
- 75g butter
- 40g granulated sugar
- 60g brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 130g flour
- 1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 80g of good quality chocolate (half milk and half dark)
- Sprinkle of sea salt flakesTop Tip : To brown butter, melt it in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally and scrape the bottom of the pan to prevent burning.

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

- 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.
