Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
These homemade chocolate chip cookies strike the perfect balance between a soft, chewy center and crispy, browned edges. Using a simple combination of brown and white sugar, they deliver a rich flavor that is ideal for pairing with coffee or tea.
Instructions
-
Cream the fat and sugars
In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and both sugars together until the mixture becomes light. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well incorporated. -
Mix dry ingredients
Stir in the flour and baking soda, continuing to mix until no visible traces of flour remain. Gently fold in the chocolate chips to distribute them evenly. -
Scoop dough
Roll the dough into balls and place them on a baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow room for spreading during baking. -
Bake and cool
Bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the edges just begin to brown. Let the cookies cool on the tray for a few minutes before moving them to a wire rack.
Tips
Ensure you leave adequate space between the dough balls on the baking sheet, as they will expand while cooking.
