Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup butter 2 sticks
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup chopped chocolate
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, melt the butter and add the sugar and vanilla extract. Mix well until combined.
  • Add the egg and the egg yolk, mixing until fully incorporated.
  • Add the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt) along with the white chocolate chips and chopped chocolate. Mix until a uniform dough forms.
  • Refrigerate the dough for at least 3 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Using a #20 scoop, form dough balls and place them on the baking sheet, spacing them apart.
  • Bake for 15-16 minutes, or until they are just lightly golden.
  • Use a metal ring to shape the cookies perfectly round if desired.
  • Let them cool on the baking sheet before handling.

Notes

  • Measuring Flour: To measure flour correctly, use a spoon to place it into the measuring cup, then level it off with a knife. This prevents adding too much flour, which can make the cookies dry.
  • Butter substitute: Use coconut oil in the same amount for a slight change in flavor and texture.
  • Using the Scoop: Using a #20 ice cream scoop will help ensure all the cookies are the same size, which guarantees even baking.
  • Spacing the Cookies: Leave enough space between each cookie on the baking sheet. This allows them to expand without sticking together.
  • Oven Monitoring: Every oven can be slightly different, so start checking the cookies at the 15-minute mark to avoid burning them.
  • Cooling on a Rack: Transferring the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely helps maintain their crispy outside and soft inside texture.
  • Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them fresh longer. They can last up to a week.
  • Freezing: If you want to prepare the cookies ahead of time, you can freeze the dough already shaped into balls. When ready to bake, simply add a couple of minutes to the baking time.
  • Wheat flour substitute: Use oat flour or gluten-free flour mix in the same amount for a different version.
  • White sugar substitute: Use coconut sugar or maple syrup for a more natural sweetness.
