Melt the butter in a saucepan. Let this cool, while you measure out other ingredients.
In a large bowl, with a hand whisk, mix the melted butter, sugars until well blended. To this add the egg and vanilla extract.
Sift in the flour with baking powder and salt
Fold in the chocolate chunks. Refrigerate the dough for a minimum 2 hours.
Preheat oven at 180ºC. Line a cookie sheet with a parchment paper lightly greased.
To Bake
Remove from the Scoop out using a cookie scoop or about 1.5 tsbp of cookie dough.
Bake for 12 to 15 mins.
Let them cool completely on the sheet before transferring to the wire rack.
Notes
Melted butter : melt butter in the pan and let it cool down to room temperature but does not solidify back.
Chocolate Chunks I have used are ready to use chunks & some chunks chopped off a dark chocolate bar. You can use any brand bar like Lindt 70%, Valrhona 66 % and above, Hersheys dark chocolate bar – all chopped into erratic bite sized pieces.
Cookie Dough Chilling : This cookie dough needs chilling because of the melted butter used, this is because, the dough is too soft, and it will spread too much. So chilling is a must. Even better overnight
These Cookies stay in room temperature for 1 week. If it lasts that long.. !!
