Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup organic cane sugar or substitute coconut sugar
- 1 cup whole wheat flour or use spelt flour for lighter texture
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract quality brand without artificial additives
- 85 grams dark chocolate chunks or use a mix of mini and regular chips
- 1/4 teaspoon fine-grain salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, cream room-temperature butter with cane sugar until fluffy using a mixer.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until almost combined. Finish mixing with a spatula.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Gently fold dry ingredients into wet mixture without overmixing.
- Fold in chocolate chunks using a scoop-and-lift motion.
- Chill the dough for 20–30 minutes to firm up and prevent spreading.
- Portion dough using a cookie scoop onto a lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 9 minutes. Cookies will appear slightly underdone.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Optional: Press additional chocolate chunks into warm cookies after baking for extra texture.
Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep them soft. For crispy results, use a glass jar instead. Dough can be frozen in individual scoops for quick baking later. Try flavor variations like nuts, coconut flakes, or spices like cinnamon and cardamom.
