Ingredients

  • 225 g (1 cup) butter, browned
  • 400 g (3 cups) plain flour
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
  • 300 g (1 ¼ cups) light brown sugar
  • 100 g (¾ cups) caster sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 350 g (12 ⅓ oz) white chocolate, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 160°C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and continue cooking until it foams and starts to brown. Remove from heat and pour into a ceramic bowl to cool.
  • Once the butter has cooled, add the vanilla extract, light brown sugar, and caster sugar. Whisk until well combined.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
  • Sift the plain flour, baking powder, and bicarbonate of soda into the butter-sugar mixture. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  • Fold in the chopped white chocolate.
  • Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop tablespoon-sized scoops of cookie dough onto the prepared baking tray. Sprinkle with sea salt if using.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the middles are still soft.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the tray for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • The cookies are ready when the edges are set, and the center remains soft to the touch with a light golden surface.
  • Substituting dark brown sugar for light brown sugar will result in slightly darker and softer cookies.
  • The optional sea salt sprinkle enhances the flavor by balancing the sweetness of the white chocolate.
