- Beat 1 Egg (room temp) in a small bowl and slowly add it to the butter mixture while beating the butter at the same time. Make sure the egg is absorbed before adding more.
- Add half of dry ingrediet mixture to the butter mixture and mix with a spetula until combined. Then add the other half and mix until there is no dry flour bits. It should look like a soft dough now.
- Mix in 120 g Milk Chocolate Chips or Finely Chopped Chocolate to the dough.
- Devide the dough into 18 small dough balls, around 32-33 grams each.
- Rest the dough balls in the fridge for overnight or at least a couple hours because the temperature of the dough changes the cookie texture A LOT.
- Preheat the oven at 175℃ (347℉) and lay the cookies on the tray lined with parchment paper. Leave some space between each cookies because they will melt and spread in the oven.
- Once the oven is preheated, bake the cookies for around 14-18 minutes. Check the cookies at 13 or so. You know they are done when you can lift the cookies by waiting 10 seconds after you take it out of the oven and carefully picked it up with your fingers withoug squishing it. This will result in crunchy cookies with soft center. Adjust the bake time if you prefer chunchier or softer cookies.
- Leave the cookies on the tray to cool for 15-20 mins and enjoy!
Notes
The dough can be made ahead and stored in the freezer for at least a couple weeks. Make sure to thaw it in the fridge the night before and you can bake as usual ;)
