Ingredients
Scale
- 225g all-purpose flour
- 115g unsalted butter, softened
- 100g granulated sugar
- 100g packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 5ml vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda (2.5g)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (2.5g)
- 200g semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Optional: 50g chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, beating until well incorporated.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly mixed.
- Mix the Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until combined. Be careful not to overmix the dough.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Stir in the chocolate chips (and nuts, if desired) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop Dough: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5cm apart.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft. Keep a close eye on them to prevent overbaking.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Storage: Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze the cookies in a sealed container for up to 3 months.
- Chill the Dough: If you have time, chill the cookie dough for 30 minutes before baking. This can help prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
- Vegan/Dairy-Free Option: Use dairy-free butter and chocolate chips to make this recipe vegan-friendly.
- Add-ins: Feel free to add chopped nuts, dried fruit, or other mix-ins to customize the cookies to your taste.
