HOLY CHIP - MIX ME instructions
Thank you for purchasing our MIX ME! Check out our IG MIX ME story highlight for video instructions!
Your MIX ME jar includes (from top to bottom):
- Salt Pack - maldon sea salt (in white envelope)
- Chocolate Mix - pre-chopped 70% Valrhona Guanaja and 70% Cacao Barry Ocoa
- Sugar Mix - dark brown and granulated sugar
- Flour Mix - all-purpose flour, baking soda and salt
Prepare:
- Brown butter from 225g unsalted butter (room temperature) - while you can obviously make this cookie with regular unsalted butter, impress your guests (or yourself) by kicking it up a notch with brown butter (just the name sounds fancy)!
- 1 egg + 1 egg yolk (room temperature)
- 1 tbs vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
- 1 tbs greek yoghurt
Instructions:
Duration: 30 minutes
- Take out the Salt Pack (leave it in the envelope), and set aside the Chocolate Mix.
- Cream the brown butter and Sugar Mix until fluffy and smooth with a mixer or wooden spoon. #CHIPTIP: Proper emulsification of the butter and sugars will create a chewier and less grainy cookie. Don't dump and mix everything (we learnt this the hard way)!
- Add egg, egg yolk, greek yoghurt and vanilla to the mixture. Continue to beat until combined.
- Slowly stir in the Flour Mix, stopping when there are no more flour bits - over mixing will result in a tough cookie.
- Stir in the Chocolate Mix until evenly dispersed. Chill the dough in the fridge for 10 minutes or until the dough is firm enough to roll.
- Measure and roll 2 tablespoons of dough into balls (they don’t have to be perfect!). Place on a baking sheet and chill in the fridge for at least an hour, preferably overnight before baking. The dough can be kept for up to 1 week in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer. #CHIPTIP: Save time and buy yourself a good scoop! This will allow your cookies to be more consistent in size and will definitely look more professional!
- To bake, preheat the oven to 350F/175C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange dough balls 2 inches apart (they will expand when baking). #CHIPTIP: Refridgerating the dough allows the flour to fully hydrate, which promotes browning and prevents over spreading in the oven. Make sure to do this for a deeply caramelised cookie with picture perfect rippled edges!
- Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes, until they’re slightly puffed up and the edges of the cookies begin to turn golden brown. They will look a bit underdone in the middle - don’t worry - the cookie will continue to cook outside of the oven.
- Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, and generously sprinkle the Salt Pack on top. Once they are firm enough to handle, transfer to a cooking rack to cool completely.
