The traditional chocolate chip cookie

Baking traditional chocolate chip cookies is a fun project with consistently satisfying results.

 

Here's how to make these mouthwatering cookies, step by step:

Ingredients

- One cup (2 sticks) room-temperature unsalted butter

- 3/4 cup of packed brown sugar (light or dark) - 3/4 cup of granulated sugar

- Two big eggs

– One tsp of real vanilla extract

– 2 1/4 cups flour (all-purpose)

– One tsp baking soda

- 1/2 teaspoon salt 

- 2 cups chocolate chips that are semi-sweet

Guidelines

1. Preheat the Oven: Turn the oven on to 375°F (190°C) to begin. This way, when you're done making the cookie dough, it will be ready.

2. Cream the Butter and Sugars: Place the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large mixing bowl. - Cream them together with an electric mixer or a sturdy wooden spoon until the mixture is frothy and light. This ought to take two to three minutes.

3. Add the eggs and vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, thoroughly combining each time. Stir in the vanilla essence to give the dough some taste.

4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Whisk together the baking soda, salt, and all-purpose flour in a separate dish. This aids in distributing the salt and baking soda, the leavening ingredient, equally throughout the dough.

   . Mixing until just incorporated, gradually add the dry mixture to the wet components. Take care not to overmix as this may result in cookies that are too firm.

5. Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the dough until they are well mixed in. Depending on personal preference, you can adjust the amount of chocolate chips used.

6. Form Cookie Dough Balls: Divide the dough into balls of uniform size using a spoon or cookie scoop. Leave enough space between each ball so that the cookies may spread out while baking, and place them on an ungreased or parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

7. Bake: Put the baking sheets in the oven and bake for nine to eleven minutes, or until the centers are still soft but the rims are golden. Because baking times might vary depending on your oven, keep a close check on them.

8. Cool: After the cookies have finished baking, take them out of the oven and leave them to cool and firm up on the baking pans. After that, move them to wire racks to finish cooling.

9. Savor: After the cookies have cooled, savor them with your preferred beverage or a glass of milk.

A timeless delicacy, these traditional chocolate chip cookies are cherished for their chewy texture and harmonious combination of sweet and chocolatey flavors. You can alter them to your liking by adding nuts, other kinds of chocolate chips, or other mix-ins. Cheers to baking!
