Welcome back to my kitchen! Today, I’m sharing a delightful recipe that chocolate lovers will adore: Salted Chocolate Bliss Cookies. These cookies strike the perfect balance between the depth of dark chocolate and a hint of sea salt, making each bite irresistibly delicious. Let’s dive into this simple yet sophisticated recipe that’s sure to impress at any gathering or just as a treat for yourself.
Ingredients
- 120g unsalted butter
- 60g muscovado sugar (or light brown sugar)
- 90g caster sugar
- 3g fleur de sel (or fine sea salt)
- 35g egg (about 2/3 of one medium egg)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 150g all-purpose flour
- 1g baking powder
- 120g dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
Directions
- Prep the butter and sugars: In a large bowl, combine softened butter with muscovado sugar, caster sugar, and fleur de sel. Mix until creamy and well combined. Soften the butter by leaving it at room temperature for several hours or briefly heating in the microwave.
- Add egg and vanilla: Beat an egg in a separate container, measure out 35g, and add to the butter mixture along with the vanilla extract.
- Combine dry ingredients: Sift together the flour and baking powder, then gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- Incorporate chocolate: Fold in the chopped dark chocolate until evenly distributed.
- Chill the dough: Since the dough will be sticky, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
- Preheat and prepare for baking: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Form and bake: Form the dough into approximately 80g balls and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 13 minutes, ensuring that the cookies are soft and slightly underbaked in the center.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. For an extra touch of decadence, press a few extra chocolate chunks into the tops of the cookies right after baking.
