Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 250g all-purpose flour
- 150g butter
- 100g brown sugar
- 100g white sugar
- 200g chocolate chips
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). This ensures that your cookies will bake evenly and achieve the perfect texture.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 250g of all-purpose flour, 1/2 tsp of baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Mix well using a whisk to ensure that the baking soda is evenly distributed throughout the flour.
- In another bowl, cream together 150g of softened butter, 100g of brown sugar, and 100g of white sugar. Use an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Add 1 egg and 1 tsp of vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat on low speed until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients from the first bowl to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Fold in 200g of chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked. They will continue to cook as they cool.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your mighty chocolate chip cookies warm or at room temperature, and store any leftovers in an airtight container for freshness.
Tips
- Use room temperature butter and egg for the smoothest, most consistent dough
- Don't overmix the batter – mix just until ingredients are combined to keep cookies tender
- For extra indulgence, use a mix of dark and milk chocolate chips
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for thicker, chewier cookies
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes and even baking
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to help them set properly
- For maximum freshness, store in an airtight container and consume within 5 days
- Pro baker's secret: sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on top before baking for enhanced flavor
