#  Muscovado-Dark Chocolate Chunk Cookies  


Every baker needs a classic chocolate chip cookie recipe. Slightly crispy on the outside, with a soft and chewy centre, muscovado sugar enhances the molasses flavour and retains more moisture, resulting in the perfect texture. Use the best chocolate available – it makes a significant difference.

Ingredients

    110g of unsalted butter, softened  

   120g of dark muscovado sugar  

   80g of granulated/caster sugar  

   2g of sea salt  

   50g of eggs  

   225g of plain flour  

   5g of corn flour  

   5g of baking soda  

   2g of baking powder  

   180g of chopped dark chocolate, 70% cocoa solids, plus more for topping  

 



  

 SPECIAL EQUIPMENT  


   Stand mixer, with the paddle attachment  

   3 × baking sheets  

   Cookie cutter  

 



  

 



Method

 Step 1 

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter, sugars, and salt. Beat on medium-high speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes, pausing to scrape down the sides as needed.



 Step 2 

Add the eggs and beat until they have been fully incorporated, scraping down the sides to make sure all the butter is also incorporated.



 Step 3 

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and baking powder.



 Step 4 

Place a sieve over the stand mixer bowl and sift the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed just until the flour has been incorporated.



 Step 5 

Add the chopped dark chocolate and mix again to incorporate.



 Step 6 

Roll the dough into 65g balls in your hand and place them on a baking tray. Cover with plastic wrap/cling film and refrigerate for 2 hours.



 Step 7 

Preheat the oven to 340°F/170°C.



 Step 8 

Working in batches, place 6 dough balls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Press a few more bits of chopped dark chocolate into the top of the balls.



 Step 9 

Place the tray in the oven and bake for 12-14 minutes, or until lightly golden.



 Step 10 

Remove the tray from the oven and, while still hot, take a cookie cutter slightly larger than the baked cookie and quickly rotate it around the cookie. This neatens up the edges and gives you a perfectly round cookie.



 Step 11 

Allow the cookies to cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a rack to cool completely.
