Tips / Notes
This recipe is incredibly versatile, use any type of chocolate chips you like (I prefer a mix of half milk and half dark), or try experimenting with different fillings. Once you’ve mastered the basic dough, it’s easy to explore other flavour combinations. I usually make six large cookies, but you can easily make more if you prefer smaller ones. I also use reusable baking parchment on my tray, though regular baking paper works just as well.
I typically use a stand mixer, but an electric whisk works just fine. For the fat, you can use traditional butter or a plant-based alternative like Flora Plant Butter, which works just as well. Once the dough is ready, you can bake the cookies straight away or refrigerate it overnight if you're preparing ahead. Both methods deliver the same result. Some say chilling the dough improves the texture, but for this recipe, I haven’t noticed much difference, it really comes down to whatever suits your schedule best.
I hope you enjoy the recipe—let me know if you give it a try and how it turns out!
