Ingredients
- 225g unsalted butter
- 200g brown sugar
- 100g white sugar
- 2 eggs, at room temperature
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 250g plain flour
- 1 tsp bicarb soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp table salt
- 225g milk cooking chocolate discs (such as Cadbury melts pieces, or Nestle Plaistowe Milk Chocolate melts)
- Salt flakes
- To serve: Vanilla ice cream
Method
- Preheat the oven to 170°C.
- Melt and brown butter in the Saucyware Dutch Oven until golden brown and foamy.
- Pour into a heat-proof bowl and let cool to room temperature.
- Add brown butter, sugars, eggs and and vanilla extract and beat in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment until thick and pale.
- In another bowl, whisk together plain flour, baking soda, baking powder and table salt.
- Mix together the mixtures until just combined.
- Fold through cooking chocolate until evenly dispersed, reserving a few discs to push into the tops of the biscuit.
- Place the cookie dough mix into the Dutch Oven and spread evenly. Pop in the fridge for at least 10 minutes, or at most 24 hours before baking.
- Bake on a rack on the bottom third of the oven, for 25-30 minutes, until deeply golden around the edges. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt flakes a few minutes before you take it out of the oven, so the salt sets on top.
- Serve alone or topped with vanilla ice cream.
