Biscuiti cu ciocolata si covrigei sarati / Chocolate chip pretzel cookies

Chocolate chip and pretzel cookies

Am avut mai multe tentative de a face clasicii biscuiti americani cu fulgi de ciocolata, insa parca niciodata nu a iesit textura care trebuie. Au fost ba prea sfaramiciosi, ba prea compacti.

In ultimul timp am studiat mai multe retete si mi-am dat seama ca am nevoie de doua elemente esentiale: un cantar de bucatarie, pentru a folosi cantitati exacte, si rabdare, pentru a lasa aluatul peste noapte sa se odihneasca. Mai greu cu rabdarea, dar am facut aluatul seara si cum am deschis ochii a doua zi de dimineata, am dat drumul la cuptor sa incep sa-i coc 🙂 .

Si cum mie imi place sa incerc combinatii mai putin obisnuite, am deviat de la reteta clasica, si am facut un combo dulce-sarat, cu ciocolata amara si covrigei sarati. Rezultatul final a fost wow 🤩!

IngredientE

  • pentru 15 biscuiti mari (Ø ~ 10 cm)
  • 225g unt 80%, la temperatura camerei

  • 1 ou

  • 160g zahar brun

  • 110g zahar pudra

  • 1 fiola esenta vanilie dr Oetker

  • 1/3 lingurita sare

  • 175g faina alba

  • 150g faina pentru pizza

  • 1 lingurita bicarbonat de sodiu

  • 150g ciocolata neagra taiata bucati

  • ~ 40 covrigei sarati croco brezel

  • ~ 1/2 lingurita sare de mare grunjoasa

Instructiuni

  • Intr-un bol am mixat untul cu zaharul (ambele tipuri) pentru 3-5 minute.
  • Am adaugat oul si esenta de vanilie si am mixat pana s-au incorporat.
  • Intr-un alt bol adaugat ingredientele uscate: faina, bicarbonatul de sodiu, sarea si le-am amestecat.
  • Am adaugat amestecul de faina peste crema de unt in timp ce mixam la viteza mica pana s-a incorporat toata faina. Aluatul trebuie sa fie tare.
  • Am adaugat ciocolata taiata bucati si 30 de covrigei pe care i-am rupt inainte. Am amestecat cu o lingura incat sa se distribuie in tot aluatul.
  • Cu o lingura de inghetata am format bile din aluat pe care le-am asezat pe o tava tapetata cu hartie de copt.
  • Am pus cate un covrig deasupra si cativa fulgi de sare de mare si am bagat tava in frigider pana a doua zi.
  • Am copt biscuitii la 170°C timp de 15 minute (sau pana incep sa capete o culoare aurie pe margine, iar in mijloc arata nefacuti).
  • Dupa ce i-am scos din cuptor i-am lasat sa se raceasca 5 minute in tava, apoi i-am transferat pe un gratar pana s-au racit complet.

  • Add a pretzel on top of each cookie (and more chopped chocolate if you want), sprinkle some sea salt flakes and transfer the tray to the fridge for a few hours, ideally overnight.
  • When ready to bake, place the cookies on a backing tray with parchment paper, leaving space between each cookie. Bake for 15 minutes at 170°C (until the edges are golden and the middle looks a bit undercooked).
  • Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy!
