Chocolate chip cookies recipe
Make your own homemade chocolate chip cookies with this easy recipe. I'll tell you how to make it!
Servings: 16 cookies
Ingredients
- 100 grams of unsalted butter
- 150 grams of brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 200 grams of all purpose flour
- pinch of salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 100 grams of chocolate chips
- extra chocolate chips for decoration
Instructions
- Add butter and brown sugar in a bowl and mix a few minutes until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until incorporated.
- Add flour, salt and baking soda and turn off the mixer once the flour is incorporated. Mix the chocolate chips into the dough.
- Let the dough rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (but preferably overnight), then divide the dough into 16 equal pieces.
- Roll balls of the pieces of dough and place them on the baking sheet, allow sufficient space between the cookies. I usually need 2-3 baking sheets to bake all the cookies. Press some extra pieces of chocolate in the dough (see the baking tip for two possible ways).
- Bake in a preheated oven at 170 °C/340 °F (conventional oven) for 12-14 minutes until golden brown. The cookies will be slightly soft after baking. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then move them to a wire rack where they can cool completely.
Tips
You can press some extra pieces of chocolate into the dough beforehand, but it is also possible to do this right after baking while the cookies are still soft.
How to store
In a container outside the refrigerator, the cookies will remain good for 1-2 weeks.
