Preparation

Total time
15 Mins
Preparation time
15 Mins
  • 250g plain flour

  • 120g unsalted butter, room temperature

  • 250g brown sugar

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 2 tbsp double cream

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 125g chocolate chips

  1. Place the flour in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high in 30 second bursts for 1 min 15 secs (this will ensure there is no bacteria in the flour). If you have one, use a food thermometer to check the flour has reached a temp of 74°C.

  2. In an electric mixer or using a hand mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

  3. Add the vanilla, cream, and salt. Mix to combine. Then add the flour and continue mixing it all together.

  4. Chuck in the chocolate chips. The more the merrier! Fold them into the dough.

  5. Mould into ball shapes with your hands.

  6. Serve and enjoy. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Tips
