Chocolate Chip Cookies

Welcome back! 
Today, we have a recipe for the most iconic cookie ever: Chocolate Chip Cookies! Loaded with smooth chocolate, these cookies are an absolute treat that everyone is sure to love. Plus, this recipe's pretty easy to whip up quickly, so it's super convenient when you need to prepare something for a party or if you just want some indulgent snacks. 

Chocolate Chip Cookies


Makes 18 cookies

Ingredients:

  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, softened
  • 100 grams white sugar
  • 75 grams brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 cups (190 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 6 ounces chocolate chips or chunks

Directions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, cream the butter with the white and brown sugar.
  2. Add in the vanilla extract and egg and mix.
  3. Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and sea salt into the wet mixture. Mix this together, but don't overmix!
  4. Add the chocolate chips or chunks and mix.
  5. Let the cookie dough sit in the fridge for a couple hours, or preferably overnight.
  6. Take the dough out and form the cookies into about 1-inch (2-3 tablespoons) balls. 
  7. Bake in the oven at 375°F for 8-10 minutes. They shouldn't look exactly done when the time's up, but they'll set after a few minutes. Don't increase the baking time or else they'll be overbaked!

  8. Take the cookies out and let them cool down for a couple minutes.
Although it's called a chocolate chip cookie, it's equally good with chocolate chunks, so if you have a preferred chocolate bar, then you can opt to break that into chunks for your cookies. Also, there are tons of variations that you can do with these cookies, both with the base of the cookie and the "topping" ingredients. For example, for a double chocolate chip cookie, you can sub some flour with cocoa powder in the cookie dough.
