Ingredients

  • 150 g Butter, unsalted

  • 80 g Sugar, brown

  • 80 g Sugar, white

  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla, extract, imitation

  • 1 piece Egg, fresh

  • 225 g Wheat flour, white, multi-purpose

  • 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder

  • 0.25 teaspoons Salt, table

  • 200 g chocolate, dark

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees Celsius. Line two low baking sheets with parchment paper. In a bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt.

  2. In a larger bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and both types of sugar. Add the vanilla extract and egg to the butter mixture.

  3. Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt mixture into the egg-butter mixture. Mix well with a spatula (or with the mixer on the lowest speed) until you get a smooth and uniform dough. Finally, fold in the chocolate chunks.

  4. Scoop the dough with a spoon and place small mounds onto the prepared baking sheets. Make sure to leave enough space between the mounds, as the cookies will spread slightly during baking. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 14 minutes.

  5. Let the baked cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
