Famous Byron Bay Chocolate Chip Cookies (crunchy 2 weeks!) #desserts #sweets

This is a copycat of Australia's most well known chocolate chip treat – Byron Bay Milk Choc Chunk Cookies. They're enormous, crunchy, rich and liberal on the chocolate! At $3.50 for a solitary roll, they aren't modest – so spare a ton by making them yourself!

These treats are crunchy however it's a delicate, rich crunch – similar to Shortbread Cookies, with the exception of not as sandy/brittle. The mouthfeel is what's very one of a kind about this thick treats – most firm treats this thick are discernibly harsher and drier (rice flour is the mystery fixing here that explicitly accomplishes this).

There's liberal lumps of chocolate littered all through, and the extremely incredible thing is that they remain 100% crunchy simply like they're newly made for as long as about fourteen days!!! (Presumably more, I just couldn't hold out any more).

Ingredients

• 175g / 12 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter , softened (6.2 oz, Note 1 - softening tip!)
• 1/3 cup brown sugar (light or normal, not dark)
• 1/3 cup white sugar , caster / superfine
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 2 egg yolks , at room temperature
• 2 tsp vanilla extract/essence
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 cup rice flour (sub with plain/all purpose flour, Note 2)
• 1 1/2 cups flour , plain/all purpose
• 200g / 7 oz dark or semi-sweet chocolate block , chopped into pretty small pieces (Note 3)

Instructions

1. Place butter, salt and both sugars in a bowl. Beat on speed 5 for 1 minute until it's soft, creamy and fluffy.
2. Add yolks and vanilla - beat for 1 minute until well incorporated.
3. Add baking powder, rice flour and half the plain flour. Beat until you can't see flour anymore, then add remaining flour and beat again until incorporated.
4. Mixture will be fairly clump and thick, but if you press between your fingers, it should stick together (rather than being dry and crumbly).
5. Use a wooden spoon to stir chocolate through.
6. Tip out onto a work surface then press together into a 22cm / 9" log. Wrap in cling wrap or paper, twisting to seal the ends.
7. Refrigerate 1.5 - 2 hours (Note 4).

BAKING:

1. Preheat oven to 200°C/390°F (180°C fan).
2. Line 2 trays with baking/parchment paper. Put one shelf in the middle of the oven, and the other underneath.
3. Remove from fridge, unwrap.
4. Use a serrated knife to slice into 1.75cm / 2/3" thick slices. Saw carefully through choc chunks. If it falls apart on edges, just press if back together, no big deal. Place 6 on each tray.
5. Bake 10 minutes. Turn oven down to 170°C/340°F (150°C fan), switch trays (Note 5)
6. Bake for a further 15 minutes until surface is light golden and edges are a bit golden.
7. Remove from oven and cool completely on trays - this makes them crunchy.
8. STORAGE: Keeps for at least 2 weeks in an airtight container - they stay 100% crunchy, just like they're freshly made.
