Here's a simple recipe for chocolate chip cookies:
Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, beat the butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until creamy.
4. Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat until just combined.
6. Stir in the chocolate chips.
7. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown.
9. Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Baking Tips:
- Make sure your butter is at room temperature before using it in the recipe.
- Don't overmix the dough, as this can make the cookies tough.
- If you prefer your cookies to be soft and chewy, slightly underbake them.
- To make sure your cookies are evenly sized, use a cookie scoop or spoon to measure out the dough.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough.
