Portion: Family

Components

  • 150 g flour for all uses
  • 100 gr. Brown sugar
  • 100 gr. granulated sugar
  • 120 gr. margarine at room temperature
  • 1 tbsp. corn flour
  • 2 sachets of vanilla
  • ½ κ.γ. baking soda
  • ½ κ.γ. baking powder
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 200 gr. chocolate couverture, finely chopped

 Execution method

  • In a bowl, sift the flour, the corn flour, the baking soda, the baking powder and the salt.
  • Put the margarine and the two types of sugar, the vanilla, in the bowl of the mixer and beat for about 5 minutes until the mixture is homogenous and the sugars are white (If it sticks to the walls, pick it up with a spatula and continue beating).
  • Then add the sifted solids little by little, gently folding the mixture with a spatula
  • Finally, add the chocolate and mix gently.
  • Put the mixture in a greased pan and form a roll.
  • Place the roll in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes until it tightens.
  • Preheat the oven to 160 degrees and coat 2 large pans with non-stick grease.
  • We take some dough and shape it into balls.
  • We place them in the pans leaving a distance of 5 cm between them because they will spread in the oven.
  • When we place all the balls, we press them a little with our palms and return the pans to the fridge for about 30 minutes.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes until the edges are lightly browned.
  • Once baked, remove from the oven and leave to cool for 10 minutes (Once you take them out of the oven, the cookies will be quite soft).
