Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 200g (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
  • 300g (1 1/2 cups) caster sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 325g (2 3/4 cups) self-raising flour
  • 200g (1 1/4 cups) milk chocolate, chopped into chunks
  • 200g (1 1/4 cups) dark chocolate, chopped into chunks
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy. This can be done with an electric mixer or by hand.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Mix in Flour and Salt: Gradually add the self-raising flour and a pinch of salt to the mixture, stirring until just combined.
  5. Fold in Chocolate: Gently fold in the chopped milk and dark chocolate chunks until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Shape Cookies: Using your hands or a cookie scoop, form the dough into balls about the size of a golf ball. Place the balls onto the prepared baking trays, leaving enough space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft. The cookies will continue to cook and firm up as they cool on the tray.
  8. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking trays for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Serve: Enjoy these delicious chocolate chip cookies warm with a glass of milk or your favorite hot beverage.

Cooking time: 10-12 minutes

Tips:

  • For extra gooey cookies, slightly underbake them and let them finish cooking on the tray as they cool.
  • Customize your cookies by adding nuts, white chocolate chips, or a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for several days.

These Tanya Burr-inspired chocolate chip cookies are a perfect treat for any occasion, offering a delightful mix of soft, chewy texture and rich chocolate flavor. Enjoy baking and indulging in these scrumptious cookies!
