best ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

the best chocolate chip cookies

These are hands-down the best chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever tasted! Crispy on the edges, soft in the middle, and loaded with chunks of chocolate and homemade toffee. The long resting period gives them an even deeper and warmer flavor, and the sea salt flakes contrast and balance their sweetness.

INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS

90g

unsalted butter

browned butter

To brown the butter, heat it in a pan over medium-high heat until the milk proteins start to caramaelise and precipiatate, and let it cool down completely before continuing

250g

75g

1 pack

½ tsp

1 pinch

white sugar

brown sugar

vanilla sugar

salt

egg

coffee powder

Combine butter (browned and regular, making sure the total adds up to 180g), egg, vanilla sugar, salt, and both sugars in a large bowl and mix until light and fluffy

375g

1 tsp

flour

baking powder

Mix in the dry ingredients

85g

150g

50g

½ tsp

butter

white sugar

brown sugar

salt

Combine all ingredients in a pan, stir on high until caramelized (golden-brown color), then pour onto parchment paper on baking sheet to cool. Once cooled, transfer into zip lock bag and beat into smaller chunks using a rolling pin or heavy pan.

100g

milk chocolate

Chop roughly

Add the toffee pieces as well as the milk chocolate to the dough

For best results, store the dough in the fridge for a good 24-36 hours (this really brings out the caramel flavors)

Preheat oven to 180°C / 356°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper

Get the dough from the fridge, roll them into little balls, and flatten them out a bit (also make sure to leave quite some room between the cookies so they don’t merge into a huge monster cookie)

Bake them for 8-10 minutes or until the edges look golden brown (the cookies will still be very soft at this point)

Finish them off with a sprinkle of sea salt flakes whilst still warm

tips & tricks

PERFECTLY ROUND COOKIES

As soon as the cookies are out of the oven, grab a glass or small bowl with a diameter slightly larger than your cookies, place it over your cookies (rim down) and give each cookie a little circular shake

MOST DELICIOUS DESSERT

The only thing better than freshly baked cookies, is warm cookie dough straight out of the oven with some ice cream.

For the perfect dessert, press some cookie dough in a small ramekin and bake it at 180°C / 356° F for about 6-8 minutes and serve it right away with a dollop of vanilla ice cream.
