Pret a Manger Chocolate Chip Cookie Copycat
Sweet and chewy chocolate chip cookies made with self-rising flour. These cookies were designed for British self-raising flour, so if using American self-rising flour your results might be different based on the brand of self-rising flour. Since American self-rising flour has so much salt you can just omit it completely.

Ingredients
- 110 grams butter
- 170 grams granulated sugar (¾ cup plus 2 scant tablespoons)
- 85 grams light brown sugar (¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons tightly packed)
- 1 large egg
- 190 grams self-raising flour from the UK (1 ½ cups)
- 3 grams salt or omit if using American self-rising (½ scant teaspoon)
- 120 grams large chocolate buttons Your favorite dark, semisweet or bittersweet
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 360 degrees F. 350 is okay too. A convection oven works best.
- Soften the butter to the point where it is extremely squishy but not completely melted. With an electric mixer on low speed or by hand, beat the butter and both sugars until creamy.
- On low speed, beat in the egg until incorporated. Add the flour and stir just until mixed, then stir in the chocolate.
- Shape into 8 mounds.
- Set on an ungreased or parchment lined baking sheet, press down to slightly flatten the mounds and bake until cookies are golden and puffed up – for me this was about 15 to 17 minutes.
- Let cool for about a half hour directly on the baking pan.
