Course Dessert
Ingredients
- 150g Lescure Butter, unsalted
- 1 Kangaroo Island Egg, room temperature
- 100g white sugar
- 80g raw sugar
- 200g plain flour
- ½ tsp Tasman Sea Salt, plus extra to garnish each cookie
- ¼ tsp bicarb soda
- 1 ½ cups Valrhona Chocolate Feves (we chose Dulcey 35%, Jivara 40%, Manjari 64%)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 160°C and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
- Make the beurre noisette: in a heatproof bowl, melt butter in the microwave using 1-minute bursts (for approx. 3½ mins in total) until golden and nutty. Allow to cool to room temperature.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Roughly chop the chocolate feves — keep some whole feves for garnishing.
- In a separate bowl, whisk egg and both sugars into the cooled beurre noisette until combined.
- Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, fold in chopped chocolate, and mix until a dough forms. Rest for 20 minutes.
- Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto the tray, leaving room for spreading. Garnish each cookie with a whole chocolate feve and a sprinkle of sea salt.
- Bake for 9 mins for soft, gooey centres, or 15 mins for crisp, chewy edges
- Cool on a wire rack before serving
