Ingredients:

• 150g unsalted butter, softened

• 100g white sugar

• 150g brown sugar

• 1 large egg

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 250g plain flour

• 1 tsp baking soda

• 1/2 tsp salt

• 200g chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)

• 50g chopped nuts (optional – walnuts or macadamia nuts work great)

Equipment:

• Thermomix

• Baking trays

• Baking paper

Method:

Step 1: Preparing the Cookie Dough

1. Cream the Butter and Sugars
   Begin by placing the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar into the Thermomix bowl. Using the speed 4 setting, mix for 30 seconds. You want the mixture to become light and fluffy, so the air incorporated into the butter will give the cookies a soft and chewy texture.

2. Add the Egg and Vanilla
   Add the egg and vanilla extract into the Thermomix bowl. Mix for 20 seconds on speed 3 until everything is well combined. This will give the dough that delightful, comforting flavor that everyone loves.

3. Sift in Dry Ingredients
   Add the plain flour, baking soda, and salt into the bowl. Using the slow speed setting (speed 3), blend the ingredients together for 30 seconds. Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl with the spatula and blend again for another 10 seconds if needed. You should have a smooth, thick dough by now.

4. Mix in the Chocolate Chips and Nuts
   Now, add the chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) into the bowl. Use the reverse function and mix for 10-15 seconds on speed 2. This gently incorporates the chocolate and nuts into the dough without crushing them. If you like extra chocolate, feel free to add more chips!

Step 2: Shaping the Cookies

1. Preheat the Oven
   While you’re preparing the dough, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a couple of baking trays with baking paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.

2. Form the Cookie Dough Balls
   Once your dough is ready, it’s time to shape the cookies. Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, form small dough balls (about 1-1.5 inches in diameter) and place them on the prepared baking trays. Make sure to space them about 2 inches apart, as the cookies will spread while baking.

   Tip: If you want a thicker cookie, slightly flatten the dough balls with your hands or the back of a spoon.

Step 3: Baking the Cookies

1. Bake the Cookies
   Place the trays in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. Keep an eye on them, as baking times can vary depending on your oven. You’ll know the cookies are done when the edges are golden brown, and the centers appear slightly soft. Don’t worry if they look a little underbaked—let them cool on the baking trays, and they’ll firm up.

2. Cool and Serve
   Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking trays for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips for Perfect Thermomix Cookies:

• Butter Temperature: Ensure your butter is softened at room temperature. This allows it to cream better with the sugars and creates a smooth dough.

• Cookie Size: For a chewier cookie, make the dough balls larger. For a crispier cookie, make them smaller and flatten them slightly before baking.

• Flavor Variations: You can switch things up by adding ingredients like white chocolate chips, dried fruits, or even a dash of cinnamon for a more complex flavor.

• Chill the Dough (Optional): If you prefer to make the dough in advance, refrigerating it for at least 30 minutes helps improve the flavor and texture of the cookies. Cold dough also prevents the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
