Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

60g / 4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
2/3 cups (120g) brown sugar, tightly packed
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 egg yolks, at room temperature (Note: leftover whites can be saved as per Note 4)
2 tbsp glucose (can substitute with light corn syrup as per Note 1)
1 cup (150g) all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup (30g) cocoa powder, unsweetened, preferably Dutch processed (Note 2)
3/4 cup (150g) white chocolate chips (Note 3)
1/2 cup (100g) dark chocolate chips (Note 3)

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 190°C/375°F (170°C fan) and arrange two shelves: one in the middle and one below it to accommodate two trays.
Prepare Mixing Bowl: Use a room temperature bowl (avoid cold glass or metal bowls) because cold bowls can cause the butter to harden and make mixing difficult.
Cream Butter: Place the softened butter in the bowl and beat on medium speed (speed 5 on a mixer) for about 30 seconds until smooth.
Add Sugar: Incorporate brown sugar and beat for 45 seconds to 1 minute until the mixture is light and fluffy, which helps create a soft texture.
Mix Egg Yolks: Add the egg yolks and beat until fully incorporated, approximately 20 seconds.
Add Flavorings: Pour in vanilla extract and glucose (or light corn syrup), beating for about 15 seconds to combine thoroughly.
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Stir in flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder carefully with a wooden spoon until all ingredients are fully combined, forming a stiff dough.
Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in white and dark chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough for a rich chocolate burst.
Form Cookies: Scoop or roll the dough into 12 balls slightly smaller than golf balls, then flatten each to about 1cm (2/5 inch) thickness on two baking trays.
Bake First Batch: Bake both trays simultaneously for 10 minutes to start the cooking process.
Rotate and Finish Baking: Remove the top tray from the oven. Move the lower tray up to the top shelf and bake for 1 more minute. The cookies should look slightly undercooked in the center—that’s key for a chewy texture.
Cool on Tray: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking trays for 20 minutes so they set properly and retain moisture.
Transfer to Cooling Rack: Move cookies to a cooling rack and let them cool completely. Their texture improves as they cool and even more so the next day for ultimate chewiness.

Notes

Note 1: Glucose syrup can be replaced with light corn syrup if unavailable, which maintains sweetness and moisture.
Note 2: Using Dutch processed cocoa powder enhances the chocolate flavor and produces a darker color.
Note 3: White and dark chocolate chips create contrasting flavors and textures; adjust quantities as desired.
Note 4: The leftover egg whites can be saved for other recipes like meringues or omelets.
