Ingredients:
- 150g butter (softened)
- 150g brown sugar (or a mix of brown sugar and white sugar)
- 2 eggs
- 200g all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon liquid vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 100g dark chocolate (chopped into small pieces)
- 50g white chocolate (chopped into small pieces)
- 1 pinch of salt
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the ingredients
Soften the butter: If the butter is not already soft, take it out of the fridge and leave it at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Softened butter will blend more easily with the sugar, creating a smooth, creamy dough.
Chop the chocolate: While the butter is softening, chop the dark and white chocolate into small pieces. This will ensure that the chocolate is evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
Step 2: Cream the butter and sugar:
Mix the butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter with 150g of brown sugar (or a combination of brown sugar and white sugar). Using an electric mixer or whisk, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This process incorporates air into the dough, giving the cookies a light texture.
Add the eggs and vanilla: Crack the eggs into the bowl and add 1 tablespoon of liquid vanilla extract. Continue beating until the eggs are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Step 3: Mix the dry ingredients:
Mix the flour and baking powder: In a separate bowl, sift together 200g of flour, ½ teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Sifting the dry ingredients ensures that they are evenly distributed, and helps avoid any lumps in the dough.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter, sugar, and egg mixture, and gently fold in with a spatula or wooden spoon until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cookies tough.
Step 4: Add the Chocolate Pieces:
