Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookies

Super chocolate and super delicious

Chocolate chip cookies are a great sweet snack and can become a favorite takeaway dessert. Spend just 15 minutes on preparation and enjoy soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies!

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup unsalted butter (170 g)
• 3/4 cup sugar, preferably brown (130 g)
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 1 large egg yolk
• 2 cups all-purpose flour (260 g)
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips (170 g) or even 2 cups for REAL chocolate lovers :)

Tools:

For cookies with a chewier texture, use a wooden spoon to mix the dough.
For cookies with cake-like texture, use a mixer that will incorporate more air into the dough.

Process:

Preparation:

• preheat the oven to 160° С (325° F),
• if you prefer cookies with a chewier texture, melt the butter, and then cool to room temperature, otherwise, bring the butter to room temperature.

Wet ingredients:

• in a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar (with a mixer, use high speed),
• add the egg, egg yolk and vanilla extract,
• beat until smooth.

Dry ingredients:

• sift the flour and baking powder together,
• stir in the salt.

Mixing the dough:

• mix the dry ingredients into the bowl,
• stir until everything is incorporated (with a mixer, use low speed),
• add the chocolate chips.

Baking and serving:

• line a baking tray with parchment paper or spray with non-stick spray,
• using a large spoon, form equal size rounds of dough (leave enough space between each cookie as they will spread out a bit as they bake),
• (optional) refrigerate for 15 minutes before baking,
• bake the cookies until the edges turn a light golden color (about 15 minutes),
• once done, cool for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack,
• allow to cool completely before serving.
