Cookie Dough Ingredients

  • 10 Tbsp salted butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup (163g) brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (115g) granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cup (266g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (300g) chocolate chips, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (180°C) to prepare for baking the cookies evenly.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: Using a stand mixer or electric mixer, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, ensuring a smooth texture.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Scrape down the bowl sides, then incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the creamed butter and sugars until fully combined for a rich, flavorful base.
  4. Mix Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients and mix until you form a soft cookie dough.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the finely chopped chocolate chips into the dough, distributing them evenly for every bite.
  6. Shape Cookies: Portion the dough into small balls of about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon each. For easier shaping, roll the dough out, freeze for 10 minutes, cut into small squares, then roll each square into balls. Arrange them on parchment-lined baking sheets.
  7. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges turn a golden brown, indicating a perfectly crisp cookie.
  8. Cool Completely: Allow cookies to cool fully on the baking sheet to set their shape and optimal texture.
  9. Serve and Store: Enjoy these bite-sized cookies with milk or as a snack. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Freezing the dough before cutting helps maintain cookie shape and easy handling.
  • Chop chocolate chips finely for better distribution in small cookies.
  • Use parchment paper on baking sheets to prevent sticking and facilitate cleanup.
  • Allow cookies to cool completely before storing to avoid sogginess.
  • These cookies keep well for up to 4 days when stored properly.
