Equipment
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 electric mixer
- 1 Baking sheet
Ingredients
- 10½ tbsp softened butter 150 grams
- ½ cup granulated sugar 100 grams
- ½ cup brown sugar 100 grams
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 large egg or 2 small eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour 250 grams
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips or dark chocolate chunks 130 grams
Instructions
- Before you begin, leave the butter and egg at room temperature for about an hour to soften. If you're in a rush, gently melt the butter in the microwave in 20-second intervals until soft.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and softened butter. Beat for about 1 minute until the mixture is well blended.
- Add the vanilla extract, egg, and salt to the mixture, and beat again for about 1 minute on medium speed.
- Sift in the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix until the ingredients are fully combined, then use a wooden spoon to fold in the chocolate chips or chunks.
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 20-30 minutes. Chilling helps the cookies hold their shape during baking.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) or 350°F (170°C) if using a fan oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Shape the dough into 18 equal-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1½ inches (4 cm) of space between each cookie as they will spread while baking.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
