Delicious Homemade Chocolate Cookies Recipe

Start by taking the **unsalted butter out of the refrigerator** to reach room temperature. It should be soft enough to mix easily.

Using a mixer, **whip the butter** for about 2-3 minutes until it's creamy and smooth.

Next, add the **granulated sugar**, **vanilla sugar**, and **egg** to the whipped butter. Mix again for about 2 minutes until everything is well combined.

Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure there are no lumps.

Now it’s time to prepare the dry ingredients. **Sift together the flour and baking powder** into the bowl with the wet ingredients.

Using a silicone spatula, **carefully fold the dry mixture** into the wet mixture until you achieve a dough-like consistency.

Chop the **milk chocolate** into small pieces or use chocolate chips. Gently fold them into the cookie dough to ensure an even distribution of chocolate.

Once the chocolate is mixed in, place the dough in the freezer for **20-25 minutes**. This will help the cookies hold their shape while baking.

After chilling, take the dough out and form it into balls, each weighing around **55-60 grams** (about 2 ounces).

Place the balls on a baking sheet with enough space in between, as they will spread. Slightly **flatten each ball** with your hand.

Preheat your oven to **180 degrees Celsius** (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Bake the cookies for about **12 minutes**, or until they are lightly golden brown.

Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.

To keep the cookies soft, store them in an airtight container along with a slice of **apple**. This simple trick will help them stay moist for the next day!
