  • 115 g Milk Chocolate
  • 115 g Dark chocolate

  • 3 g Bicarb Soda
  • 1 Egg (60 g)
Instructions
    And that is how the Cookie crumble........Making the Cookie dough
  1. using a good scale, measure and weight all your ingredients... I tend to leave my butter outside to get it soft. I do the same for all my ingredients to get them all at the same temperature. I have notice, overtime, that keeping my butter soft rather than melted makes my cookies chewy and not dry inside.
  2. Soften your butter in a clean bowl using a spatula. the consistency should be of a cream... Really soft but not melted.
  3. Add your brown sugar and start combining both ingredients together. You coul duse a beater or bench mixer at low speed.
  4. Mix well until both ingredients are well binding together.
  5. Add your egg and mix it in.
  6. Add your vanilla essence.
  7. Sift your flour, bicarbonate soda and cornflour together. Add 1/3rd of the flour mix and fold it to the sugary butter mix.
  8. Once the flour is mixed in, add the 2/3rd. we do that in 3 steps to make sure you have no lumps and you cna easily combine all the ingredients together.
  9. Finally add the rest of the flour mix to the batter.
  10. Mix well until it is all incorporated.
  11. Add the chopped walnuts.
  12. Add all the chocolates.
  13. Mix it all well. until it creates a nice rough dough.
  14. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 20 minutes.
    15. Shaping and baking
  15. Preheat your oven at 160C if you use a fan forced oven or 180c for conventional ovens. Prepare a tray with a silicon Matt or baking paper.
  16. Using your hands, grab a small batch of cookie dough and shape it as a rough ball. it should be the size of your palm. (25-35 grm)
  17. Push a little down to flatten them up a bit.
  18. Place them on the baking tray.
  19. Bake the cookies at 160C for 14 minutes. remove from the oven and let them cool down for 10 minutes and place them one a cake rack for further cooling.
  20. Enjoy them.........................
