Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
Ingredients:
- Sugar (both brown sugar and white granulated sugar)
- Butter – 1 stick of cold butter (no need to let the butter come to room temp)
- Egg – Just one egg (can be substituted with 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce)
- Vanilla – To boost the flavor
- Baking Soda – Helps keep cookies soft and tender
- Corn Starch – Makes the cookies full and thick
- Salt – Balances the sweetness; all baked goods need it
- Chocolate Chips – 1 full bag (using less is optional but not recommended)
- Flour – All-purpose flour is used in this recipe
- Walnut Pieces – Optional
Baking Tips:
- Do Not Over Mix the Dough: Overmixing can lead to dry, crumbly, and hard cookies.
- Do Not Over Bake Them: Bake at a high temperature for only 6 minutes. Although they continue to cook as they cool, you can eat them before they’re fully cooled for the softest experience.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven as per the recipe directs (specific temperature isn’t provided, but typically around 350°F to 375°F is common for cookies).
- Cream together the sugar(s) with the cold stick of butter.
- Add the egg (or applesauce) and vanilla, mixing until well incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, corn starch, and salt.
- Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet mix, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips (and walnut pieces, if using).
- Scoop dough onto a baking sheet, spacing them out because they will spread.
- Bake for the recommended 6 minutes, or until the edges are just turning golden. Remember, the cookies will continue to cook slightly once removed from the oven.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
