Full Recipe:  

Ingredients

• 200g cold unsalted butter (take out of the fridge 30 minutes before baking)

• 180g light brown sugar

• 80g white caster sugar

• 2 large eggs (at room temperature)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 250g self raising flour

• 150g plain flour

• 1 tsp salt

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 300g milk, white, or dark chocolate chips (or a mixture of all three)

Directions

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat together the cold butter, light brown sugar, and white caster sugar until well combined.

3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Mix in the eggs and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.

4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Sift together the self-raising flour, plain flour, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the dough.

6. Shape Dough: Divide the dough into 10 equal portions (approximately 120g each) and roll them into balls. Place them on the prepared baking tray, spacing them about 5cm apart.

7. Freeze Dough: For best results, freeze the dough balls for at least 90 minutes. This step helps the cookies retain their thick shape during baking.

8. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers should remain soft and slightly underbaked.

9. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking tray for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
