chocolate chip cookie recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups high-quality chocolate chips
Instructions:
1.Cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This is the foundation of the cookie’s richness.
2.Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. The eggs are the secret to the cookies’ moist and chewy texture.
3.Stir in the vanilla extract, infusing a hint of aromatic warmth that elevates the overall flavor.
4.In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. This ensures an even distribution of leavening agents, guaranteeing the perfect rise.
5.Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Overmixing can compromise the cookies’ texture, so exercise restraint!
6.Gently fold in the chocolate chips, generously distributed for a chocolatey surprise in every bite.
7.Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. This step is crucial for preventing the cookies from spreading too much during baking, resulting in that perfect thickness.
8.Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
9.Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared sheets, leaving enough space for them to spread.
10.Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft. The residual heat will continue to cook them as they cool, creating a delightful contrast.
11.Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Pour yourself a glass of milk, gather your loved ones, and savor the symphony of sweetness in every chewy, chocolate-studded bite.
