New York Choc Chip Cookies

Makes 10 | Under 30 Minutes

Ingredients

225g unsalted butter, cold and cubed

220g brown sugar 

100g caster sugar 

2 eggs, cold

360g plain flour 

3/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda 

1/2 tsp vanilla extract 

Pinch of sea salt 

250 milk chocolate chips

80g dark chocolate chips

150g walnuts, roughly chopped

Method

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 195°C and line two baking trays with parchment paper. Place the cubed butter, brown sugar and caster sugar in the bowl of your electric mixer. Mix on medium-high speed for 4-5 minutes, or until the mixture is creamed and pale in colour.

Step 2: Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.

Step 3: Add the flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt. Mix on low speed until just combined. Stir in the chocolate chips and walnuts. You may need to use your hands for this part as the dough will be quite firm.

Step 4: Divide the dough into 10 equal balls and place 5 on each baking tray. Bake for 11-12 minutes, or until just golden on top. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking tray for 30 minutes to set. Enjoy warm, or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Note: You can freeze individual portions of the raw cookie dough and bake as needed!
