CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES WITH HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE CHIPS AND, WALNUTS

Hi, sweet people ♥

Eat cookies for breakfast, with a glass of milk on the side YES Please!!
The weekend is here If you live in Scandinavia we are getting showers of rain this weekend, I love rain and I love fall and I definitely love a rainy weather.
A rainy day is a perfect day, to bake some delicious Chocolate Chip Cookies.

These chocolate chip cookies are so rich in taste and so delicious.

I made homemade chocolate chips by using a silicon matt like the one you see below, I melt dark chocolate and fill the holes in the form, I let the chocolate set, and you have large chocolate chip pieces. The silicone molds come in many different sizes.

These big chunks of chocolate chips are so delicious in these cookies, and together with the walnuts. omg!!!

I added some sea salt on top of the cookies, it just gives an even better taste to these cookies.

In these cookies, I use a blend of all-purpose flour and bread flour.
Bread flour has a higher level of protein about 11,5 % and to mix these two flours together you can a delicious and the perfect cookie.

To get a perfect chocolate chip cookie, try these 4 tips↓ below;

Use cold butter, diced into 1-inch pieces
Use cold egg straight out of the fridge
Use 50 % bread flour and 50 % all-purpose flour
Do not flatten the cookie dough before baking.
