Ingredients
- 280g chocolate (preferably dark chocolate, chopped into chunks)
- 140g nuts (almonds, walnuts, or cashews, roughly chopped)
- 170g butter (softened at room temperature)
- 90g brown sugar
- 30g granulated sugar
- 2g salt
- 85g room temperature egg mixture (about 1.5 large eggs)
- 280g cake flour
- 3g baking soda
- 3g baking powder
Instructions
Prepare the Ingredients:
Chop the chocolate into small chunks and roughly chop the nuts. Set aside.
Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a bowl, sift together the cake flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
Cream the Butter and Sugars:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and salt. Use a hand mixer or whisk to beat until light and fluffy.
Add the Eggs:
Gradually add the room temperature egg mixture to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.
Incorporate the Dry Ingredients:
Add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Use a spatula to fold until just combined (do not overmix).
Add Chocolate and Nuts:
Gently fold in the chopped chocolate and nuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Chill the Dough:
Cover the dough and refrigerate for 1 hour. This helps the dough firm up and makes it easier to shape.
Shape the Cookies:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions (about 100g each). Roll each portion into a ball and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving plenty of space between each cookie.
Bake:
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate?

Can I use different nuts?

How do I store these cookies?
Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the dough for up to 3 months and bake them as needed.
