Looking for a quick sweet treat? These simple chocolate chip cookies are perfect! No need for multiple types of sugar, no resting time—just one bowl to mix everything up. This is our go-to Sunday night treat as a family.
Ingredients
- 1 & 3/4 cups of flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (granulated sugar will do just fine)
- 2 tsp vanilla extract (if you don’t have it, skip it)
- 1 large egg or 2 small ones
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Mix sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg in a bowl until smooth, fluffy and the sugar is no longer too grainy.
- Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold it in—do not overmix.
- Stir in the chocolate chips until evenly combined. You should have a sticky cookie dough. If it is too wet, add 1 to 2 table spoons of flour.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper
- Scoop out 12 regular-sized balls using a spoon or cookie scoop. No need to flatten them; they will spread while baking.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes.
- Rest & Cool: Once out of the oven, let them cool. They will look soft at first but will firm up to a crispy outside with a gooey centre.
- Enjoy when it is cool!
Extra Tips:
- Do not touch or flip the cookies when you take them out of the oven.
- The sugar can be adjusted to your level of sweetness, but I only use 1/2 cup because the chocolate chips are sweet.
- If the cookie dough is too wet, add 1-2 tablespoons of flour to help it form a cookie dough. The cookie dough should not be too dry or too wet.
- If you like crispy cookies, bake it for 18minutes instead of the 13-15minutes. The longer you bake your cookies, the crispier and hard it gets. Enjoy!.
