Ingredients
  

  • 100 g unsalted butter softened
  • 1 whole egg Room Temperature
  • 100 g light brown sugar
  • 30 g caster sugar
  • 100 g plain flour
  • 100 g self raising flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 200 g milk chocolate roughly chopped
  • 1 pinch sea salt flakes I use Maldon

Equipment

  • 1 hand/stand mixer optional
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 smaller mixing bowl
  • 1 mixing spoon
  • 1 weighing scales
  • 1 ice cream scoop standard size

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (fan)
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use an un greased cookie sheet
  3. In a large bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer or electric mixer), beat the softened butter with the light brown sugar and caster sugar until combined
  4. Scrape down the bottom of the bowl so everything mixes evenly. Mix in the egg and beat until smooth
  5. In a separate bowl or medium bowl, whisk together the plain flour, self-raising flour, baking powder, and salt
  6. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix just until combined
  7. Gently fold through the chocolate chunks so they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough
  8. Use a cookie scoop or ice cream scoop for evenly sized cookies I use 2 standard size ice cream scoops for each cookie
  9. Place dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space for spreading
  10. Bake for 10–12 minutes, depending on your oven temperature. I usually bake for 10 minutes and add 1-2 minutes if my dough is frozen.

Notes

Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 4 day. The cookie dough can also be baked straight from frozen, adding 1–2 minutes to bake time
