Ingredients for Choc Chip Cookies

Instructions

  1. In a big / large bowl, with the help of electric mixer beat the butter and sugars together until they are fluffy and pale, it should take about 3 minutes. This will help make your cookies soft and chewy.

  2. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each one. Then add the vanilla extract and mix well. This will add moisture and flavor to your cookie dough.

  3. In an another medium bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients, the flour, baking soda, and salt.

  4. Then slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon or a rubber spatula until a smooth dough forms. Don’t stir too much or your cookies will be tough and hard.

  5. Stir in the chocolate chips and nuts if you are using them. This will make your cookies extra yummy and crunchy.

  6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight. This will make the dough easier to handle and more flavorful.

  7. When ready. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. This will prevent your cookies from sticking to the pan.

  8. Use a cookie scoop or a tablespoon to drop balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches (5 cm) of space between them. Press them down slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon. This will help them spread evenly in the oven.

  9. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still soft. Don’t overbake them or they will be dry and hard.

  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will make them easier to eat and store.

  11. Enjoy your perfect chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months and bake them whenever you want fresh cookies.

Note

How to Customize the Chocolate Chip Cookies.

  • You can use different types of chocolate chips, such as milk chips, dark chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, or peanut butter, to change the flavor of your cookies. You can also use chocolate chunks or chopped chocolate bars for a more rustic look and texture.
  • You can add other ingredients to your cookie dough, such as oats, coconut, dried fruits, or candies, to create different variations of chocolate chip cookies. Just make sure to adjust the amount of flour accordingly to keep the dough from being too dry or too sticky.
  • You can freeze the cookie dough for up to 3 months and bake it whenever you crave fresh cookies. Just scoop the dough into balls and place them on a baking sheet. Freeze until firm, then transfer them to a freezer bag or container. When ready to bake, place them on a lined baking sheet and bake as directed, adding a few minutes to the baking time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:
Why are my chocolate chip cookies flat and thin?

There are several possible reasons why your chocolate chip cookies are flat and thin, such as:

Your butter was too soft or melted. This will cause the dough to spread too much in the oven. Make sure your butter is softened but still cool and firm to the touch.
Your oven temperature was too low. This will prevent the cookies from setting and rising properly. Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature and use an oven thermometer to check for accuracy.
Your baking soda was expired or not enough. This will affect the leavening power of the dough and make it dense and flat. Make sure your baking soda is fresh and measure it accurately.
You did not chill the dough. This will make the dough too soft and sticky and cause it to spread too much in the oven. Chilling the dough will help it firm up and hold its shape better.

How do I make my chocolate chip cookies soft and chewy?

There are several tips and tricks to make your chocolate chip cookies soft and chewy, such as:

Use brown sugar instead of white sugar or a combination of both. Brown sugar contains more moisture and molasses than white sugar, which will make your cookies softer and chewier.
Use an extra egg yolk or a whole egg plus an egg yolk. Eggs add moisture and richness to the dough, which will make your cookies softer and chewier.
Use cornstarch or pudding mix in your flour. Cornstarch or pudding mix will help retain moisture and create a softer texture in your cookies.
Underbake your cookies slightly. Take them out of the oven when they are still slightly underdone in the center, as they will continue to cook and set on the baking sheet. This will make your cookies softer and chewier.

How do I make my chocolate chip cookies crispy and crunchy?

There are several tips and tricks to make your chocolate chip cookies crispy and crunchy, such as:

Use more white sugar than brown sugar or only white sugar. White sugar will caramelize more than brown sugar in the oven, which will make your cookies crispier and crunchier.
Use less butter or oil than usual or replace some of it with shortening. Butter or oil will add moisture and richness to the dough, which will make your cookies softer and chewier. Shortening will help create a flakier and crispier texture in your cookies.
Use less flour than usual or replace some of it with cake flour. Flour will add structure and gluten to the dough, which will make your cookies denser and chewier. Cake flour has less protein than all-purpose flour, which will make your cookies lighter and crispier.
Bake your cookies longer than usual. Leave them in the oven until they are golden brown and crisp around the edges and on the bottom. This will make your cookies crispier and crunchier.
