Author: Vicki

Ingredients

  • 113 g salted butter, at room temp
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cup plain flour
  • 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chunks
  • smoked sea salt, for sprinkling

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180C & line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. 
  • In a large bowl, use an electric whisk to beat butter & sugars together until pale & fluffy.  Add the egg & beat in thoroughly, maybe 1 minute. Add the vanilla extract & beat to incorporate.
  • Using a wire sieve, directly sieve the flour & bicarbonate of soda into the large bowl. With the whisk on low, beat until everything is just incorporated. Finally, use a spatula to mix in the chocolate chunks.
  • Dollop the cookie dough by the 2 tablespoonful onto prepared baking tins. Leave about 2 inches of room between each cookie & sprinkle generously with smoked sea salt.
  • Bake cookies for 18 minutes, or until just golden brown.  Remove from the oven & allow to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
