4. NB whilst running the protocol click 4.1 then click Done don't click done with this step (4) selected or all sub-steps will be marked done at once.
SECTION: Method
4.1. Preheat oven to 190 °C 

SECTION: Method
4.4. Break up the chocolate and stir in the pieces to the mix with the stirring implement.

(Suggestion: for optimal chunk size and minimal mess break each pre-scored rectangle of 2 lindt 70% bars into 6 pieces whilst still in the wrapper. Start by breaking each row then down the long axis, then break each piece further once in the long axis and twice in the short. It is easiest to do this against the edge of a surface. Once broken remove the outer cardboard and tear open the fold along the top and right side by folding back the edges and applying pressure along then with your thumb. You can now used the foil to pour the chocolate chunks into the mixing bowl)
SECTION: Method
4.2. Combine the butter, sugars, and vanilla extract, mix until creamy. 
(butter should be soft but not liquid, add first and mircowave briefly in the bowl if too firm)


SECTION: Equipment
3. Mixing bowls (optionally 2, if you want to pre-mix the flour, salt & baking soda)
Kitchen Scales
Stirring implement (Silicone scrapers perform best in my experience)
Oven
Baking Tray

Ruler, measuring Tape or other item of known length
Camera

(recommended) Grease paper / reusable sheet
(recommended) wire rack for cooling
(recommended) Tablespoon
SECTION: Method
4.6. Roll the dough into a sausage with a  ,  wrap these in clingfilm and refrigerate at 4 °C  until needed, longer term storage at -20 °C is also possible though pre-thawing in the fridge is recommended prior to attempting to slice the log.

If preparing immediately a dolop of the dough may be placed on the bakingsheet without first refrigerating it. However this yield dough slugs of inconsistent dimensions, starting temperature, and viscosity, so is recommended against for research purposes. Though using a cookie cutter or similar ring might help ensure consistent cookie shape.
 

SECTION: Method
4.7. Cut the log into    slices and lay on the bakingsheet, widely spaced apart to avoid contact between baked cookies once the dough has spread.

Bake for 9 min  to 11 min until just golden brown on the edges
allow to cool for a few minutes on the tray before transferring to a wire rack
