MRS FIELDS CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
 
 
Ingredients
  • 1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 220g salted butter, cold and cubed small (1 cup)
  • ½ tsp instant espresso powder
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 2½ cups plain flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 cups finely chopped chocolate
Method
  1. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine both sugars. Add the cold, cubed butter and mix on a medium-low speed until a grainy paste forms.
  2. Add the vanilla, espresso powder and the eggs, one at a time, mixing until they are just combined. You don't want to dissolve the sugars.
  3. Add the flour, baking soda, salt and chocolate, mixing until they are just incorporated and form a dough.
  4. Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 150 C (300 F) and line trays with baking paper.
  5. Use a cookie scoop or large tablespoon to scoop even balls of dough onto the prepared trays, leaving room for spreading.
  6. Bake for 20 - 22 minutes, until the cookies bounce back when lightly pressed in the center.
  7. Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack immediately. Makes 36 cookies.
  8. Happy baking!
