Chocolate chip cookies
Chocolate chip cookies are a beloved snack made with dark chocolate, butter and egg. The Thermomix TM7 takes the effort out of the dough: the melting function gently melts chocolate and butter without burning, while mixing produces an even, creamy base. You get bakery-style cookies with crisp edges and gooey chocolate chunks in every bite.
About this recipe
Chocolate chip cookies Thermomix TM7 style are the ultimate homemade snack: crisp golden edges, a soft chewy centre and melted pools of dark chocolate in every bite. Searching for a reliable cookie recipe for your all-in-one kitchen machine ends here, because the TM7 handles every step in a single bowl. First, the melting function gently melts the butter and part of the dark chocolate with soft heat control, so nothing burns or seizes. The grinding function turns a portion of the chocolate into rustic chunks while the mixing blade blends egg, sugar and homemade vanilla sugar into a fluffy, creamy base in seconds. Because you weigh the flour, baking soda and baking powder directly into the mixing bowl, there is less washing up and far less mess on the worktop. These cookies are ideal as an after-school snack, a dessert for birthdays or a weekend baking project with children, and the dough can even be frozen in portions for fresh cookies whenever the craving strikes.
Preparation tips
- Chill the cookie dough in the fridge before baking so the butter firms up; this prevents the cookies from spreading too flat and gives you a lovely thick centre with crisp edges.
- Use good-quality dark chocolate with a high cocoa percentage and chop it unevenly in the Thermomix: smaller bits melt into the dough while larger chunks create gooey pockets.
- Portion the dough with an ice cream scoop for uniformly sized cookies, and sprinkle a little flaky salt on top before baking to enhance the dark chocolate flavour.
- Store the baked cookies in an airtight tin and place a slice of bread inside to keep them soft; refresh them briefly in a warm oven before serving.
Recipe variations
- Nutty version: replace part of the dark chocolate with chopped hazelnuts or walnuts and add a spoonful of nut butter to the dough for a richer, praline-like chocolate chip cookie.
- Festive winter variant: add a pinch of cinnamon and a mix of dark and milk chocolate chunks, then finish the cookies with a dusting of icing sugar for a seasonal treat.
