◷ 40 minYield: 16 cookiesEasy

Ingredients

  • 115 g unsalted butter, softened

Method

  1. Heat oven to 180°C / 350°F and line two baking trays.
  2. Cream butter and both sugars until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
  3. Fold in flour, baking soda and salt, then the chocolate chips.
  4. Scoop dough into 16 portions. Flatten each, add about 1 tsp chilled arequipe, then seal the dough around it.

Arequipe noteChilling the arequipe makes the cookies much easier to fill without leaks.
