Best Ever Chocolate Chip Biscuit Recipe
Baking Tip: It’s important to note that since each and every biscuit is positively LOADED with chocolate, buy the best quality chocolate you can afford – you’ll be able to taste the difference!
Ingredients
- 3 1/4 plain flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes
- 230g unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, firmly packed
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
- 1 cup milk chocolate Melts, roughly chopped
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup grated dark chocolate
Method
- Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius. Line two trays with baking paper and set aside.
- Using a medium size bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and sea salt. Stir it all together, making sure it’s thoroughly combined. Set aside for the moment.
- Using a stand mixer, cream the butter and both sugars together for one minute, until pale and creamy. Add to the mixture both eggs. Add the vanilla, mixing until combined.
- With the stand mixer running on a steady low speed, slowly add in the dry ingredients (flour mixture). Stir in all three chocolate types (Melts, chocolate chips and the grated chocolate). Give it a good stir / fold to make sure the chocolate is spread throughout the dough.
- Using a small ice-cream scoop or a large spoon, roll out cookie balls around two tablespoons in size. This will bake a BIG, deluxe biscuit. Place the balls on a prepared tray, leaving around 5cm between each one. Gently squash down and sprinkle with a little extra sea salt flakes, if desired or feeling fancy.
- Bake cookies for 12 minutes or until they’re just turning golden brown around the edges. Don’t be tempted to over cook. Remove the tray from the oven at let the biscuits cool for a few minutes on the tray before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
