Chocolate Chip Cookies
A chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe I've been baking since I was a kid.
Equipment
- 1 Large Mixing Bowl
- 1 Small Pot
- Measuring cups and spoons
- 1 Cookie sheet/baking pan
- 1 Fork or whisk
- 1 Small bowl
- 1 Oven or Smoker
Ingredients
- 1-1/8 cup Flour (144g)
- 1 Egg
- 1/2 cup Butter (113.4g)
- 1/2 cup Brown sugar (110g)
- 1/2 cup White sugar (100g)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract (5mL)
- 1/4 tsp Salt (1.5g)
- 1/2 tsp Baking soda (3g)
- 12 oz Chocolate chips (340g) (1/2 a bag)
Optional
- 1/2 cup Walnuts (50g)
Instructions
- Melt butter in a small pot, then add both white and brown sugar. Stir to combine well, then allow to cool.
- Mix together flour, salt, and baking soda.
- Beat the egg and vanilla extract together in a small bowl, then add to the cooled butter-and-sugar mixture.
- Add the butter-sugar-egg-vanilla mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well to combine. Allow mixture to cool in the fridge for a few minutes.
- Mix ½ bag of chocolate chips into the cooled dough. Return to fridge and preheat oven (or smoker) to 375°F (190°C). Note: If using smoker, you may want to reduce the temperature to 325° or 350°F (162° to 176°C), depending on your smoker.
- Take dough out of the fridge and start placing walnut-sized balls of dough on your cookie sheet.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then transfer finished cookies to cooling racks.
