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
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!
