Instructions

- Add 2.5 tbsp flour and sprinkle baking soda on the flour and mix well. Add a tsp flour at a time to make a thick batter mixture. Usually 3 Tbsp works out perfectly. Depending on the measurement of the wet ingredients, you might need a tsp less or more. The mixture should be thick batter, or stiff batter.
- Fold in the chocolate chunks. Drop mixture on parchment lined baking sheet and flatten slightly. Sprinkle salt on the cookie and press in.
- Bake at 350 deg F / 180ºc for 11 to 13 minutes till the edges just about start to turn golden. Tap the baking sheet and let it cool. The cookies will be soft right out of the oven, but will cool to be fudgy within 5-10 mins. Cool completely before storing.
Notes
- Substitute liquids like orange juice, aquafaba, or non-dairy milk with maple syrup to adjust sweetness and texture.
- If baking in a toaster oven, reduce temperature to 325 or 330°F to avoid overbaking.
- Check batter consistency before baking; it should be thick but not overly oily to ensure correct cookie texture.
