Prep Time:10 minutes
Cook Time:10 minutes
Resting Time:30 minutes
Total Time:50 minutes
Course: Dessert
Servings: 10 cookies

Ingredients

  • 175 g flour
  • 100 g dark or milk chocolate
  • 100 g butter
  • 100 g brown sugar (you can also use a little brown sugar or whole sugar)
  • 1 small egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder or baking soda
  • 20 pecans
  • sea salt flakes

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix the brown sugar with the egg until the texture is smooth and glossy.
    Melt the butter over medium heat. Once slightly melted, pour it with the egg-sugar mixture in the bowl. Mix well.
    Pour half of the flour into the bowl, mix a little with a spoon, then pour in the rest without mixing, as well as the yeast.
    Cut the dark chocolate into pieces using a large knife then add them to the preparation in the bowl. Mix until the chocolate is well incorporated.
  • Cover the bowl with cling film and place it in the fridge for 30 minutes (or more).
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C.
  • Using an ice cream ball or a tablespoon, form balls of pasta and place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Space them well so that the cookies do not fuse together during baking. Lightly sprinkle the pasta balls with fleur de sel and place the pecans on top, pressing lightly so that they stick to the dough.
    Bake for 10 minutes.
    After 8 minutes of cooking, open the oven, take the baking sheet and tap it gently on the work surface. This will allow the cookies to spread well.
    Bake again for 2 minutes.
  • Once cooked, leave to rest for 5 minutes then carefully place the cookies on a rack by sliding them and let them rest for at least 10 minutes before eating them.
    Try to resist… but lukewarm, it’s just delicious!!!!!!!

Notes

These cookies keep very well for a few days in an airtight metal box but I advise you to cook them for a few minutes before eating them, they will be even better.
