These cookies are what dreams are made of. Here's how to make the world's greatest chocolate chip cookies!!
Ingredients:
- ½ cup sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 4 ounces milk or semi-sweet chocolate chunks
- 4 ounces dark chocolate chunks (or your preference)
Cooking Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C.
- Whisk the sugars, salt, and butter together until a paste has formed with no lumps.
- Whisk in the egg and vanilla, beating until light ribbons fall off the whisk.
- Sift in the flour and baking soda, then fold the mixture with a spatula, being careful not to overmix too much. This will cause the gluten in the flour to toughen which will result in cakier cookies.
- Fold in the chocolate chunks evenly, then chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. For a more intense toffee-like flavor and deeper color, chill the dough overnight. The longer the dough rests, the more complex its flavor will be.
- Scoop the dough with an ice-cream scoop onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, leaving at least 4 inches of space between cookies and 2 inches of space from the edges of the pan so that the cookies can spread evenly.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges have started to barely brown.
- Cool completely, and enjoy!
