The Secret to That Irresistible Cookie Texture

So, what is the key to the best cookie texture?

A clever combination of browned butter, chopped hazelnuts, and rich dark chocolate, all brought together with a simple dough that rests in the fridge to build flavor and structure.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• 75g butter

• 125g sugar

• 1 egg

• 125g flour

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 100g dark chocolate

• 1 handful of hazelnuts

• 1 pinch of sea salt

Step-by-Step

1. Brown the butter: Melt the butter over medium heat until it starts to turn golden and smells nutty. Pour it into a bowl and let it cool to room temperature — or pop it in the fridge for a quick 5-minute chill.

2. Mix the wet ingredients: Beat the sugar and egg together until the mixture turns creamy and smooth.

3. Add the dry: Sift in the flour and baking powder, then mix briefly until combined.

4. Chop and toast: Finely chop the dark chocolate and hazelnuts. Toast them lightly in a dry pan to bring out their full flavor, then stir into the dough with a pinch of sea salt.

5. Let it rest: Cover the dough and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes — the longer, the better. Letting it rest for 24 hours will give the cookies even more depth of flavor.

6. Bake to perfection: Preheat your oven to 200°C (top/bottom heat). Shape the dough into balls and place them on a lined baking sheet, making sure to leave space between them. Bake for 10–12 minutes, but keep an eye on them — they should be just browned at the edges and still soft in the middle.

7. Cool and enjoy: Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack — that way, they stay crispy on the bottom and don’t turn soggy.

These cookies are more than just a sweet snack — they’re comfort food in its purest form. Perfect with a cup of coffee, a cozy movie night, or as a midweek pick-me-up.
