🍪 Chocolate Chip Cookies are classic soft-and-chewy (or crisp) cookies with melted chocolate chunks inside. Here’s a reliable homemade version that turns out good even for beginners.
🍫🍪 Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup (225g) butter, softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1–1½ cups chocolate chips
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F)
- In a bowl, cream butter + both sugars until fluffy
- Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla → mix well
- In another bowl, mix flour, baking soda, salt
- Slowly combine dry ingredients into wet mixture
- Fold in chocolate chips
- Scoop dough into balls and place on baking tray
- Bake for 10–12 minutes (edges golden, center soft)
- Let cool 10 minutes (they firm up as they cool)
🔥 Tips for Better Cookies
- Chill dough 30 minutes for thicker cookies
- Don’t overbake—slightly soft center = perfect texture
- More brown sugar = chewier cookies
- Add a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor depth
