Arequipe Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chewy chocolate chip cookies with pockets of arequipe and crisp caramelized edges.
Ingredients
- 420 g all-purpose flour
- 7 g instant yeast
- 60 g sugar
- 180 ml warm milk
- 2 eggs
- 80 g softened butter
- 180 g arequipe
- 80 g chopped dark chocolate
- Pinch of salt
Method
- Mix flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Add milk and eggs; knead 5 minutes, then work in butter gradually and knead until elastic. Rise until doubled.
- Roll into a rectangle, spread with arequipe and scatter over chocolate. Roll from a long edge.
- Split the log lengthwise and twist the two halves cut-side up. Place in a loaf pan and rise 35–45 minutes.
- Bake at 180°C / 350°F for 35–40 minutes. Cool at least 30 minutes before slicing.
Arequipe noteIf the arequipe is very soft, chill it 20 minutes before spreading so the layers stay defined.
