Ingredients:
- 1.25 cups all purpose flour (160g)
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened (113g)
- 0.75 cup dark brown sugar, packed (150g)
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar (25g)
- 3 tbsp milk (45ml)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (5ml)
- 0.5 tsp sea salt (3g)
- 0.5 cup mini semi sweet chocolate chips (90g)
- 1.5 cups dark chocolate chips (270g)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (15ml)
Instructions:
- Spread the 1.25 cups of all purpose flour on a baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for about 7 minutes until it smells toasted and reaches 160°F. Note: This kills any lingering bacteria from the raw grain.
- In a large bowl, cream together the 0.5 cup softened butter, 0.75 cup dark brown sugar, and 2 tbsp granulated sugar. Mix until the texture is light and fluffy. Note: This aeration helps the dough feel less heavy.
- Stir in the 1 tsp vanilla extract and 3 tbsp milk. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is fully emulsified.
- Gradually fold in the heat treated flour and 0.5 tsp sea salt. Stir until no white streaks remain in the bowl.
- Gently mix in the 0.5 cup mini semi sweet chocolate chips. Fold by hand to avoid melting the chips with the warmth of your hands.
- Combine 1.5 cups dark chocolate chips with 1 tbsp coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl. Heat in 30 second bursts until the chocolate is glossy and completely smooth.
- Spoon a small amount of melted chocolate into each muffin liner. Tilt the liner to coat the bottom and sides slightly.
- Roll the dough into 12 even balls and press them gently into the chocolate lined cups. Ensure there is a small gap for the top chocolate layer.
- Pour the remaining melted chocolate over the dough balls. Tap the tray on the counter to level the tops.
- Place the tray in the refrigerator for at least 40 minutes. Wait until the chocolate is firm and cool to the touch before removing from liners.
