Ingredients You’ll Need (for 16 Cookies)

- 125g salted butter, softened (about 9 tablespoons)

- 100g light brown sugar (½ cup)

- 75g granulated sugar (¼ cup + 2 tablespoons)

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- 1 medium-large egg, beaten (45g, max 52g)

- 150g all-purpose flour (or 1:1 gluten-free mix; ~1 cup + 2 tablespoons)

- 40g Dutch-processed cocoa powder (~6.5 tablespoons)

- ½ teaspoon baking soda

- Optional: ¼ teaspoon salt (use if butter is unsalted)

- 100g white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate

- 200g milk chocolate chips or chopped milk chocolate

Accurate measurement is key to ensure every cookie comes out soft, chewy, and perfectly chocolatey.

Step 1: Prep Your Oven and Baking Sheets

1. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).

2. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.

3. Having your sheets ready before making the dough will make the process smoother and more organized.

Step 2: Cream Butter and Sugars

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 125g softened butter, 100g light brown sugar, and 75g granulated sugar.

2. Stir with a wooden spoon or hand mixer for about 3 minutes, until the mixture is pale, light, and fluffy.

3. This step incorporates air into the dough, which helps cookies become soft and chewy.

Step 3: Add Egg and Vanilla

1. Lightly beat 1 egg with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a small bowl.

2. Gradually mix it into the butter-sugar mixture until fully combined.

3. Tip: If your egg is large, only use 42–45g. Using too much egg can make the dough too wet, which may change the texture.

Step 4: Mix Dry Ingredients

1. In a separate bowl, sift together:

- 150g flour

- 40g Dutch-processed cocoa powder

- ½ teaspoon baking soda

- Optional: ¼ teaspoon salt

2. Sifting removes lumps and ensures the dough remains smooth.

3. Mixing dry ingredients separately also helps evenly distribute the cocoa and baking soda.

Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

1. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the butter mixture until you get a soft, thick dough.

2. Gently fold in 100g white chocolate chips and 200g milk chocolate chips, making sure chocolate is evenly distributed.

3. The chocolate chips are what make these cookies irresistibly gooey in the center.

Step 6: Shape Your Cookies

1. Use an ice cream scoop or tablespoon to divide the dough into 16 balls.

2. Each cookie should weigh about 1.6 ounces (45g) for even baking.

3. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 2.5 inches between each cookie so they can spread properly.

Step 7: Bake to Perfection

1. Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes.

2. The cookies will spread slightly and look soft on top—this is exactly what we want.

3. Let the cookies rest on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. This allows them to firm up without losing their softness.

Step 8: Storage and Tips

1. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 7 days.

2. Tip: Dutch-processed cocoa powder gives a smoother, less acidic flavor. Natural cocoa works too but may slightly affect texture.

3. Adjust the baking soda amount if you want slightly softer or chewier cookies. Small tweaks can customize your perfect cookie texture.
