COOKIES WITH CHOCOLATE CHIPS🤤

Ingredients 

• 125 g unsalted butter
• 100 g light brown sugar
• 75 g white granulated sugar
• 1 medium egg
• 1 tsp vanilla (optional)
• 300 g plain flour
• 1 + 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 300 g chocolate chips (150g dark, 150g milk)

Instructions

Step 1: Creaming the Butter and Sugars

Begin by incorporating the butter and sugars into a mixing bowl. Mix them together until the mixture is creamy and smooth. This step is absolutely essential because it adds air to the dough, resulting in cookies with an impeccable texture.

Step 2: Adding the Egg and Vanilla

After that, gently crack in the egg and continue to beat the mixture until it is thoroughly combined. For those who love experimenting in the kitchen, this is the perfect time to incorporate some vanilla into the mix. Using eggs in the dough not only helps to bind the ingredients together, but also adds a delightful richness.

Step 3: Incorporating the Dry Ingredients

Incorporate the plain flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, and sea salt into the bowl. Mix until a cookie dough comes together. Take care to avoid overmixing, as it may lead to cookies that are tougher in texture.

Step 4: Mixing in the Chocolate Chips

Fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. This is where the magic happens – every bite should have a delicious mix of chocolate!

Step 5: Shaping and Chilling the Dough

Weigh out your cookies into eight dough balls, each about 120g. Roll them into balls and place them on a tray. Chill the dough balls in the freezer for at least 30 minutes, or in the fridge for about an hour. This step helps the cookies maintain their shape during baking.

Step 6: Baking to Perfection

Preheat your oven to 180C Fan (200C regular). If your oven tends to run hot, aim for 160C-170C. Place your cookie dough balls onto a lined baking tray, spacing them well apart. Bake for 12-14 minutes. The cookies should be golden around the edges but still soft in the middle
