Ingredients
- 185 g unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup caster sugar
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 cups plain flour
- ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
- ½ tsp fine salt
- 1 ¼ cups dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line baking trays with baking paper.
Using an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter, brown sugar and caster sugar for 6-8 minutes or until very light and fluffy. Add the vanilla, egg and yolk and beat until well combined. Add the flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt, and beat until just combined. Add the chocolate chips and mix on low speed until just combined.
Roll the mixture into 85 g balls, roughly golf ball-size. Working in batches, place on the lined trays and bake for 18-22 minutes or just until golden. Cool on wire racks, then store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
