SOFT BATCH CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
 
 
Ingredients
  • 200g unsalted butter, softened (14 tbsp)
  • 1 cup caster (superfine) sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2½ cups plain flour (+ a few extra tbsp)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 3 cups chocolate chips/chunks (I used a combination of milk and dark chocolate, and the best quality chocolate you can afford will result in the best cookies)
Method
  1. Preheat the oven to 180 C (350 F) and line a few trays with baking paper.
  2. Put the butter into the bowl of your stand mixer and place the bowl in the preheating oven. Leave it just for a few minutes, until the butter starts to melt around the outside.
  3. Set it aside to cool while you weigh up the rest of your ingredients.
  4. Once the butter has cooled, add both sugars and beat until light and fluffy.
  5. Add the vanilla and eggs, beating between each addition just until incorporated.
  6. Add the flour, baking soda and sea salt to the bowl. Beat on a low speed, just until combined. Add more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together in a ball - you don't want it sticking to the sides of the bowl.
  7. Mix in the chocolate chips.
  8. Use a medium cookie scoop to drop the dough onto prepared baking sheets, allowing room for spreading.
  9. Bake one tray of cookies at a time, for 9 - 11 minutes. take them out when they have little brown spots on the top. Allow to cool a little and enjoy!
  10. Makes 24 cookies.
  11. Happy baking!
