Classic choice! Here’s a soft and chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe that turns out perfect every time:
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients (makes ~20 cookies):
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat oven: 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Cream butter & sugars:
In a bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. - Add wet ingredients:
Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth. - Mix dry ingredients:
In another bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. - Combine:
Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Stir until just combined. Fold in chocolate chips. - Shape cookies:
Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls and place on the baking tray, leaving space between them. - Bake:
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are golden but centers are still soft. - Cool:
Let cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack.
💡 Tips for perfect cookies:
- For extra chewiness, use more brown sugar than white
- Slightly underbake for soft centers
- Chill dough for 30 minutes for thicker cookies
If you want, I can give you a bakery-style thick cookie recipe or a double chocolate version that’s extra rich 🍪
