Equipment
A medium-sized bowl is perfect for mixing ingredients. Make sure it's large enough to comfortably combine all ingredients without making a mess.
A mixer can make things much easier when combining sugar and eggs, ensuring that the mixture turns light and fluffy.
Silicone spatulas work great for folding in chocolate chunks and transferring dough onto baking sheets.
Use a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent cookies from sticking and for easy cleanup.
Allows cookies to cool evenly after baking, so they retain their shape and texture.
Variations
Want to enjoy these cookies even if you have dietary restrictions? **Here are some easy swaps** to make them fit your needs without sacrificing flavor:
Gluten-Free Variation 🌾🚫:
Replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure to choose one that includes xanthan gum or add 1/4 teaspoon yourself to help with binding.
Vegan Variation 🥕✌:
Replace the eggs with a flaxseed and water mixture (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water = 1 egg). Use vegan butter and opt for dairy-free chocolate instead of the regular kind.
With these tweaks, everyone can enjoy these mouth-watering cookies, whether they’re gluten-free or following a vegan diet!
Faq
- Do I need to use a parchment-lined baking sheet?
Yes! Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
- Can I use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate?
Absolutely! Feel free to use whichever chocolate you prefer or mix them for a unique flavor.
- What can I do if my dough is too sticky?
If the dough is too sticky to handle, chill it in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.
- How can I make my cookies chewier?
For chewier cookies, slightly underbake them. They should still be soft in the center when you take them out of the oven.
- Can I freeze the dough for later?
Yes, you can freeze the dough. Shape it into balls, place them on a tray to freeze, then transfer to a bag. Bake from frozen with a few extra minutes added to the baking time.
- How do I know when the cookies are done?
The cookies are ready when the edges start to turn golden brown, but the center remains soft. They'll continue to set as they cool on the baking sheet.
