Preparation: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Makes 15 cookies
Difficulty: easy
INGREDIENTS
- 285 g plain flour
- 5 g baking powder
- 5 g bicarbonate of soda
- 5 g cornflour
- 150 g brown sugar
- 50 g caster sugar
- 220 g softened butter
- 2 eggs, chilled
- Seeds from one vanilla pod
- 200 g dark chocolate chips
- 150 g milk chocolate, chopped into small pieces
- 100 g white chocolate
PREPARATION
- Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl: flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and cornflour. Set aside.
- In a second large bowl, beat the butter with the brown sugar and caster sugar using a whisk until you have a fluffy cream.
- Now add the eggs to the cream, one at a time. Continue beating the mixture for a few minutes, until the dough becomes light and uniform.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the dough, mixing only until they are blended (be careful not to overwork the mixture). Finally, add the vanilla seeds.
- Now add 2/3 of the chocolate chips, milk chocolate and white chocolate; mix.
- Line a baking tray with baking paper. Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, shape the dough into balls; do not flatten them, as the heat of the oven will do this. Place a few biscuits on each baking tray, leaving at least 10 cm between them.
- Add the remaining chocolate on top of each ball.
- Bake for 13 to 16 minutes in a preheated oven at 180°C on the middle shelf until the edges are golden brown and the centre is still slightly soft.
- Once ready, remove from the oven and leave the American cookies to cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Ready! Enjoy your snack!
