All ages enjoy the traditional dessert of chocolate chip cookies. They are simple to create and versatile because you can change the amount of chocolate chips or include additional ingredients like almonds or dried fruit to suit your preferences. Here is a basic chocolate chip cookie recipe that makes around 24 cookies:
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
For best results, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Mix the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Leave it alone.
Cream the butter and sugars in a separate, big mixing bowl until they are light and creamy.
Add the vanilla essence next, then add the eggs one at a time.
With each addition, thoroughly mix the dry ingredients before gradually adding them to the butter mixture.
The chocolate chunks should be thoroughly mixed in.
Golf-ball sized balls of dough should be formed, and they should be placed on the prepared baking sheet with about 2 inches between them.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges.
Note
This recipe is traditional and straightforward; you can add nuts like pecans or walnuts or swap out the chocolate chips for milk or dark chocolate. A spoonful of instant coffee powder can also be used to improve the flavor of the chocolate. Also, your oven’s temperature and the size of the cookie balls may affect how long they bake.
