# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 190 grams all-purpose flour
02 - 6 grams corn starch
03 - 3 grams baking soda
04 - 1 gram salt

→ Wet Ingredients

05 - 113 grams unsalted butter, melted and cooled
06 - 110 grams light brown sugar
07 - 50 grams granulated sugar
08 - 1 large egg
09 - 7 milliliters vanilla extract

→ Chocolate

10 - 85 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips, plus extra for garnish
11 - 85 grams semi-sweet chocolate chunks, plus extra for garnish
12 - 57 grams dark chocolate, grated

# How to Make It:

01 - In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, corn starch, baking soda, and salt until evenly distributed.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted and cooled butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until the sugars are completely dissolved.
03 - Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix on low speed just until incorporated.
04 - Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Avoid over-mixing.
05 - Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips, chocolate chunks, and grated dark chocolate. Fold gently until chocolate is evenly distributed.
06 - Cover the bowl with cling film and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour to firm.
07 - Preheat oven to 175°C. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
08 - Roll chilled dough into 2.5 cm balls and place on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them at least 5 cm apart. Press extra chocolate chips on the surface if desired.
09 - Bake for 8–10 minutes or until the edges are just golden and the centers appear underdone.
10 - Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. The cookies will set as they cool.
11 - Once fully cooled, store cookies in an airtight container for up to 1 week or freeze for extended storage.

# Extra Information:

01 - For best texture, use a combination of chips, chunks, and grated chocolate for varied chocolate dispersion.
02 - Chilling the dough before baking prevents excessive spreading and enhances flavor complexity.
