Ingredients
  

  • 110 g Butter

To butter mixture

  • 30 g Dark Brown Sugar sifted
  • 90 g Regular Sugar
  • 1 pc Egg
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 160 g Cake Flour Weizenmehl 405 in Germany
  • 1/2 tsp Sea Salt or 1/4 tsp of table salt
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Soda

Mix-In

  • 70 g Semi-Sweet Chocolate I like chopped up chocolate but chocolate chips are good too.
  • 40 g Walnuts

Optional but highly recommended garnish

  • Flaky Sea Salt or Fleur de Sel for decoration

Instructions
 

  • Roast 40 g Walnuts in the oven (170°C for 7-10 mins) until fragrant.
  • Brown 110 g Butter (click for tutorial) and let it cool down in the fridge for 10 -20 mins while preparing for other ingredients.
  • Combine 160 g Cake Flour, 1/2 tsp Sea Salt, and 1/2 tsp Baking Soda in another bowl.
  • Chop up 70 g Semi-Sweet Chocolate and roasted walnuts to the size of a large peanut or however chunky you like.
  • Add both types of sugar (30 g Dark Brown Sugar and 90 g Regular Sugar) to the chilled butter and whisk until well-combined. Sift the brown sugar first if it’s chunky. Alternatively, you can use equal parts of light brown sugar and regular sugar.
  • Mix in 1 pc Egg and 1 tsp Vanilla Extract.
  • Gradually add in the dry ingredients mixture and mix until just combined.
  • Fold in the chocolate and walnuts.
  • Divide the dough into 14-15 dough balls and chill in the fridge overnight. Or chill first then portion the next day if you don’t have enough fridge space.

The next day

  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celcius.
  • Bake for 10 -12 mins or until the bottom looks dark brown and the cookies have mostly set/can be gently picked up after 20 secs.
  • Sprinkle some Flaky Sea Salt or Fleur de Sel.
  • Let the cookies cool down for 5 mins and enjoy!
