Tasty's 2 - Hour Cookies

I'm not sure about you but those Tasty videos on YouTube can be fun to watch and they make me want to make whatever they are baking because it looks so good.

One of those videos is the 2-Minute vs. 2-Hour vs. 2-Day Cookie.  I decide to skip the 2-Minute cookie as it didn't look great but the 2-Hour and 2-Day Cookie sure looked delicious.

I decided to make the 2-Hour Cookie and boy were they good.  The cookies were a little crunchy outside with a soft centre full of melt-in-mouth chocolate bits.  It tasted just like a really good chocolate chip cookie.

Here is the link to the recipe from Tasty https://tasty.co/recipe/the-best-chewy-chocolate-chip-cookies

All photographs posted here are mine, from my bake.

Below is my very small changes to the recipe. Hopefully, I will get round to making the 2-Day Cookie soon.

Tasty’s 2-Hour Cookies

Ingredients

· ½ cup sugar
· ¾ cup brown sugar
· 1 teaspoon salt
· 115 grams unsalted butter
· 1 egg
· 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
· 1¼ cups plain flour
· ½ teaspoon baking soda
· 200 grams milk chocolate
· Sea salt flakes

Instructions

1. Line trays with baking paper.

2. Place butter into a saucepan over medium heat, stirring often until it foams and starts to brown. This may take a few minutes. Remove from heat and place into a large bowl to cool slightly.

3. Add sugar, brown sugar and salt to the brown butter and whisk until a paste forms with no lumps.

4. Whisk in the egg and vanilla extract.  Beat until well combined.

5. Add sifted flour and baking soda and fold the mixture until all ingredients are combined (do not overmix).

6. Fold in roughly chopped chocolate pieces. Allow the cookie mixture to chill for at least an hour.

7. Preheat oven to 180°C.

8. Place one or two tablespoonful of cookie dough onto the baking tray. Making sure to leave about 5cm apart between each cookie. Finally, sprinkle some sea salt flakes onto each cookie.

9. Bake in oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges have started to slightly brown. Allow the cookies to cool on baking trays.

Tips

· These cookies spread when baked; so remember to leave room between each cookie on the tray.
· You don’t have to brown the butter instead just melt it.
· You can also leave the sea salt out as well.
