Regular chocolate chip cookies are always going to be popular, but they can all too easily veer into cloying, oversweet territory. The solution? Doves Farm fibre-rich Organic Wholemeal Rye Flour, which has a deeper, nuttier flavour than regular wheat flour and can stand up against the sugar. Keeping the chocolate chips big creates a contrast of texture, as do the pecans – which add their own delightful flavour to the mix.
Preheat the oven to 170°C fan and line 2-3 large baking trays with baking paper
Put the butter and both sugars into a large bowl and beat until smooth and pale
Beat in the egg until combined, then mix in the flour, a pinch of salt and about three-quarters of the chocolate and pecans. Mix until you have a thick cookie dough
Roll the cookie dough into 50g balls and flatten them slightly so they’re around 2cm thick. Press the remaining chocolate and pecans into the top of the cookies
Place the cookies 5cm apart on the baking trays and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden and set on the outside but still soft in the middle. Sprinkle with flaky salt and leave to cool completely on the tray before serving
