Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Mixture

In a mixing bowl, combine soft butter with brown sugar and white sugar. Beat them together until the mixture is creamy and smooth. Next, crack in the egg and continue to mix until fully incorporated.

Step 2

Incorporate Dry Ingredients

Sift the all-purpose flour and baking powder into the butter-sugar mixture. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Make sure not to overmix; a few flour streaks are okay.

Step 3

Add Chocolate and Shape the Dough

If you are using chocolate chunks, fold them into the dough now. Divide the dough into 12 to 15 equal pieces, rolling each piece into a ball. Place the cookie balls on a plate and cover them, then refrigerate for about 1 hour to firm up the dough.

Step 4

Bake the Cookies

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the chilled cookie balls on the sheet, leaving some space between each.

Bake them in the preheated oven for about 8 to 10 minutes. Keep an eye on them; they should be golden on the edges but still soft in the center.

Servings

These cookies are a delight on their own, but why stop there? Serve them warm with a glass of ice-cold milk or a steaming cup of coffee for a comforting treat. 🍵
For an extra twist, sandwich a scoop of vanilla ice cream in between two warm cookies to create a mouthwatering cookie ice cream sandwich that will wow your guests! 🍦
Planning a picnic? Pack these cookies in a cute container for the perfect sweet surprise among sandwiches and fruit. They’re sure to disappear quickly! 🥪🍍

Equipment

Baking Sheet

A standard baking sheet works perfectly for even baking. It's best to line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup a breeze!

Variations

If you're looking to spice things up or cater to special diets, here are some delicious variations:

Gluten-Free: Substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Be sure to check that your baking powder is gluten-free too! 🍞✨
Vegan: Use coconut oil or vegan butter in place of butter, flaxseed meal mixed with water instead of egg, and opt for dairy-free chocolate! 🥥🌱 Enjoy delightful cookies without any animal products!

Faq

  • What does creaming the butter and sugar do?

    Creaming helps to incorporate air into the mixture, giving your cookies a lighter texture!

  • Can I freeze the cookie dough?

    Absolutely! Just roll the dough into balls, freeze them on a baking sheet, and then transfer to a bag. Bake from frozen, adding an extra minute or two!

  • How can I tell when my cookies are done?

    Look for light golden edges and a soft center. They will firm up as they cool!

  • Can I add nuts or dried fruits to the cookie dough?

    Yes! Feel free to mix in your favorite nuts or dried fruits for added flavor and texture.

  • What is the best way to store cookies?

    Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week for maximum freshness!

  • Why are my cookies spreading too much?

    Ensure your butter is at room temperature and not too soft, as overly soft butter can lead to excessive spreading while baking.
