Ingredients for Byron Bay Chocolate Chip Cookies

Dry Ingredients

• 200g / 7 oz dark or semi-sweet chocolate block, chopped
• 1/2 cup rice flour (or sub with plain/all-purpose flour)
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 cups plain/all-purpose flour

Wet Ingredients

• 175g / 12 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
• 1/3 cup brown sugar (light or normal, not dark)
• 1/3 cup white sugar (caster/superfine)
• 2 egg yolks, at room temperature
• 2 tsp vanilla extract/essence

For the Icing

There is no icing needed for these treats. The chocolate itself is enough, though a simple dusting of powdered sugar can work if you feel adventurous.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

Grab that softened butter and cream it with the brown and white sugars until fluffy. Add in those two egg yolks and the vanilla extract, mixing until everything is well combined.

Step 2: Combine the Dry Ingredients

Whisk together the flour, rice flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients to avoid creating flour clouds, mixing until just combined.

Step 3: Add the Chocolate

Fold in the chopped chocolate pieces gently. You want to keep those chunks intact so they create glorious, gooey spots once the cookies are baked.

Step 4: Scoop and Shape

Scoop the dough onto a lined baking tray. Leave them plenty of space, as these cookies like to spread out while they bake.

Step 5: Bake

Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 to 12 minutes. Aim for golden brown edges and a soft center, then let them cool so the chocolate can firm up.

Tips for Perfect Cookies

Weigh your ingredients with a scale for consistency. Even if you want a lighter meal afterward, consider serving these alongside some Healthy Granola & Yogurt Bowls for a Balanced Breakfast.

Don’t skip the 15-minute rest for the dough to hydrate. Also, experiment with chocolate types to adjust the depth of flavor to your liking.

Variations of the Recipe

You can add chopped nuts for crunch or swap the dark chocolate for semi-sweet. Just avoid adding fruit, as it changes the moisture content of the dough too much.

Health Benefits

While these are a treat, understanding your ingredients is helpful. You can learn more about Butter 101: Nutrition Facts and Health Benefits – Healthline to see how moderate consumption fits into a balanced lifestyle.
