Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies

These homemade chocolate chip cookies are soft, buttery, and irresistibly chewy. With a straightforward method and no chilling required, they're perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth anytime.

Ingredients:

Yields 12 cookies

  • 8 tablespoons (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup (100g) white granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (50g) packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1½ cups (190g) plain (all-purpose) flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (135g) chocolate chips

Method:

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the butter in short 30-second bursts in the microwave until nearly melted.
  3. Cream the melted butter, white sugar, and brown sugar together until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the vanilla extract and egg to the mixture, beating slowly until just combined.
  5. Mix the plain flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until the dough comes together.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips using your hands or a spatula.
  7. Shape the dough into balls, each weighing approximately 42g. Place them on the prepared baking tray, spacing them apart.
  8. Bake for 9–12 minutes, or until the cookies are puffy, dry, and just beginning to turn golden.
  9. Cool on the baking tray for about 30 minutes. The cookies will sink slightly and become dense and soft.
