Ingredients
- 120 grams butter (salted or unsalted) melted
- ½ cup white granulated sugar 110 grams
- ½ cup brown sugar (packed) 110 grams
- ½ tsp vanilla essence
- 1 cup chocolate drops (milk, semi sweet, dark) 150-170 grams
- 1 ½ cups plain all purpose flour or 1¾ cups for thicker, less chewy cookies (190 - 220 grams)
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ⅛ tsp salt pinch
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan-bake) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Whisk together the melted butter, white sugar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth and glossy.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Add the dry ingredients - flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and mix until just combined. Don’t overmix!
- Roll the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place them on your tray, leaving space between each cookie. Flatten slightly with your fingers or the back of a fork.
- Bake for 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centres are still soft.
- Cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Then… yum yum yum, get them in your tum!
Notes
Flour: Use 1½ cups for a chewy cookie or 1¾ cups for thicker, more cakey cookies.
Butter: Make sure it’s melted but not hot. Warm butter can cook the egg or make the dough greasy.
Chocolate: Use any mix you love ... chips, chunks, drops, or chopped chocolate bars.
Storage: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or freeze the dough balls for easy cookies anytime.
