Ingredients:

• 240g unsalted butter, softened
• 265g caster sugar
• 100g brown sugar (packed)
• 2 large eggs
• 340g plain flour
• 90g cocoa powder
• 2 tbsp corn flour
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1 1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda
• 200g dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
• 2 tsp Concentrated Vanilla Extract

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 190°C (170°C fan-forced) and line two baking trays with baking paper.

Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, caster sugar, brown sugar, and Concentrated Vanilla Extract using electric beaters for 3-4 minutes, or until the mixture is pale and fluffy. Add the eggs one by one, beating well after each addition. Continue beating for another 2 minutes until everything is thoroughly combined.

Step 3: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, corn flour, sea salt, and bicarbonate of soda. Gradually incorporate this dry mixture into the butter-sugar mixture. Stir until just combined, then fold in the chopped dark chocolate chunks.

Step 4: Roll the cookie dough into 95g balls (you should get about 14 cookies). Place the dough balls onto the prepared trays, leaving space between them. Bake the cookies one tray at a time for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges turn golden. Allow them to cool slightly on the tray before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Serving Suggestions & Tips:

• Serve these giant cookies with a glass of cold milk or a hot cup of coffee for a comforting treat.
• For extra indulgence, try adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream between two cookies to make a mouthwatering cookie sandwich.
• Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to a week to keep them fresh.
