Ingredients
Scale
- 225g unsalted butter, softened
- 150g granulated sugar
- 150g light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 300g plain flour
- 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 300g chocolate chips (milk, dark, or a mix!)
Instructions
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer. The mixture should be pale and creamy.
- Add the Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. Make sure everything is well combined. Don’t worry if it looks a little curdled at this stage, it’ll all come together in the end.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, bicarbonate of soda, and salt. This ensures that the bicarbonate of soda is evenly distributed throughout the flour.
- Gradually Add Dry Ingredients to Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix! Overmixing develops the gluten in the flour, which can result in tough cookies.
- Stir in Chocolate Chips: Stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough. I sometimes reserve a handful of chocolate chips to press into the tops of the cookies before baking – it makes them look extra pretty!
- Chill the Dough (Optional but Recommended): Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours. This helps to prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking and enhances the flavour. My children are always impatient, but chilling really does make a difference.
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat your oven to 190°C (170°C fan/Gas Mark 5). Line baking sheets with baking parchment.
- Scoop and Bake: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centres are still slightly soft.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Or, if you’re anything like my family, devour them while they’re still warm and gooey!
