Ingredients
125g unsalted butter, softened
½ cup (110g) caster sugar
½ cup (110g) brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste
1 extra-large egg, lightly beaten
1½ cups (225g) self-raising flour
¼ teaspoon salt flakes
Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced) and line 2 x baking trays with baking paper.
- Place butter, sugars and vanilla together in the bowl of an electric stand mixer and beat on medium-high for 5 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add egg and beat until combined.
- Add the flour, salt and chocolate, stirring until thoroughly combined.
- Using a small ice cream scoop, roll dough balls using hands. Place dough balls on prepared baking trays 3cm apart, to allow biscuits to spread.
- Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes for soft and chewy, 15 minutes for soft and crispy and 20 minutes for crispy. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before carefully placing on a wire rack to cool completely.
