Chocolate Chip Cookies with | 110g | 1 Stick Butter
These homemade chocolate chip cookies promise a perfect balance of textures, featuring a tender, chewy center contrasted with crisp, golden edges. The recipe relies on a classic combination of butter and sugars to create a rich dough that holds together well while baking.
Instructions
-
Cream Butter and Sugars
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until the mixture becomes light and pale in color. -
Add Wet Ingredients
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the bowl and beat until well incorporated. -
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. -
Form Dough
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in two separate additions, mixing with a wooden spoon until incorporated. Fold in the dark chocolate chips. -
Chill and Portion
For better results, chill the dough for 24 hours. Using about 2 tablespoons of dough per ball, roll into balls and place on a lined or greased baking sheet. -
Bake
Bake in an oven preheated to 375°F for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown. -
Cool
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips
Resting the dough for 24 hours produces a richer and chewier cookie. You can substitute the chips with chopped dark chocolate block. Unused dough keeps in the freezer for 2-3 months; add a few minutes to baking time if using frozen dough.

About this recipe
This recipe produces cookies that are soft and chewy in the middle yet remain crunchy around the perimeter, offering a satisfying textural contrast in every bite. The dough utilizes dark chocolate chips to complement the sweetness of the brown and white sugars, creating a robust cookie.
For the best results, the dough is recommended to rest for up to 24 hours before baking, which enhances the chewiness and depth of flavor. Once baked, the cookies are best enjoyed fresh on the day they are made, though they can be stored in an airtight container. They will stay fresh for two to three days, making them a reliable treat for immediate enjoyment or planning ahead.
