Decoration Tips
While these cookies are delicious on their own, a little extra decoration can elevate them further. After baking, sprinkle a bit more sea salt on top of each cookie for that perfect sweet-salty contrast. If you’re feeling extra indulgent, drizzle some melted chocolate over the cooled cookies or even add a few caramel bits on top before baking.
Ingredients:
- 65g butter, melted and cooled
- 75-80g brown sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 85g plain flour (all-purpose)
- 1/3 teaspoon baking soda
- 25-50g chopped dark sea salt caramel chocolate
Method:
- Prepare the Butter:
Melt the butter in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds. Let it cool to room temperature before using it in the cookie dough. - Combine Wet Ingredients:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted, cooled butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and egg yolk until well combined and smooth. - Add Dry Ingredients:
Sift the flour and baking soda into the wet mixture. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this will help keep the cookies soft and chewy. - Fold in Chocolate:
Gently fold in the chopped chocolate. Once combined, place the bowl in the fridge to chill for 10-30 minutes. This will help prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking. - Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. - Form Cookie Dough Balls:
Roll the dough into 8-9 balls, depending on the size you prefer. Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking tray, leaving enough space for the cookies to spread slightly. - Bake the Cookies:
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. The cookies should look slightly underdone when you take them out—that’s what makes them soft and chewy! - Let Them Set:
After removing the cookies from the oven, allow them to rest on the baking tray for 10-15 minutes. This helps them set and develop their soft texture. Sprinkle a little sea salt on top while they are still warm, if desired. - Store the Cookies:
Once the cookies are completely cooled, store them in a sandwich bag or an airtight container to keep them soft and fresh.
Enjoy these soft, chewy, and irresistible Subway-style cookies anytime you need a sweet fix!
