This wonderful cookie recipe combines not one, but two varieties of Tony’s Chocolonely chocolate, dark and gingerbread, to create a buttery mouthful of deliciousness that is nothing short of cookie heaven.
Ingredients
- 165g butter
- 220g Fairtrade brown sugar
- 270g plain flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 egg at room temperature
- ½ vanilla bean
- 1 Tony’s 70% dark chocolate bar (180g), chopped
- 1 Tony’s 32% gingerbread milk chocolate bar (180g), chopped
- Sea salt or fleur de sel, for sprinkling
Method
For the brown butter:
- Melt your butter in a small pot or a frying skillet over medium heat.
- Stir occasionally to make sure your butter is browning evenly.
- Once your butter has changed from yellow to golden brown, remove from the pan and cool down over a bowl of ice.
- Mix with a spatula to cool down and set aside.
For the cookies:
- Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder and salt together. Set the mixture aside.
- In a mixer with paddle attachment, beat the cooled brown butter with the sugar until fluffy and light.
- While the mixer is running add the egg followed by the scraped out contents of the vanilla bean half.
- Slowly add the sifted dry ingredients and scrape the bowl down.
- Add the chopped Tony’s (70% pure and gingerbread milk chocolate) and mix to incorporate.
- Using an ice cream scoop, place the cookie dough on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper.
- Chill on a baking sheet for 5 to 10 minutes. The longer it chills, the better.
- Bake at 180°C for about 12 minutes and voila! You’ve got yourself some cookies.
