Why NYC-Style Cookies Are So Special

Ingredients
For the cookies:
- 125 g unsalted butter
- 100 g light brown sugar
- 75 g white granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 250 g flour
- 35 g cocoa powder
- 1 + 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 200 g Terry’s Orange Chocolate (mix of white, milk, and dark), chopped
For the topping:
- Terry’s Orange Chocolate (white, milk, and dark)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Cookie Dough
- Beat the butter and sugars together in a large bowl until light and creamy. This step is crucial for creating a soft, chewy texture.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, then mix again until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, and sea salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients and beat until a cookie dough forms.
2. Add the Chocolate
Fold in the chopped Terry’s Orange Chocolate pieces. Ensure they are evenly distributed for that signature chocolatey goodness in every bite.
3. Portion and Chill
- Weigh out the cookie dough into eight equal portions (about 115-120 g each). Roll them into balls for that signature NYC cookie size.
- Chill the dough balls in the freezer for at least 30 minutes or in the fridge for about an hour. Chilling helps the cookies retain their shape and achieve a perfect texture during baking.
4. Bake
- Preheat your oven to 370°F (190°C).
- Place the chilled cookie dough balls onto a lined baking tray, leaving enough space between each one (4-6 cookies per tray).
- Bake for 12-14 minutes. If you prefer flatter cookies, gently press them down with a spoon immediately after removing them from the oven.
5. Add the Topping
While the cookies are still warm, press a piece of Terry’s Orange Chocolate onto each one. The residual heat will slightly melt the chocolate, creating a gooey, indulgent finish.
6. Cool and Enjoy
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking tray for at least 30 minutes. They’ll continue to set and bake during this time. Then, it’s time to dig in and savor the magic of Terry’s Orange Chocolate NYC Cookies!
Baking Tips for Success
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your butter and egg are at room temperature for a smooth, well-incorporated dough.
- Chill Time: Don’t skip the chilling step! It’s key for achieving the perfect texture and ensuring the cookies don’t spread too much while baking.
- Custom Toppings: Feel free to get creative with your toppings! Add crushed Terry’s Chocolate, drizzle with melted chocolate, or sprinkle with sea salt for an extra layer of flavor.
