Ingredients
- 225g softened butter
- 220g white sugar
- 220g brown sugar
- 2tsp vanilla (to taste)
- 2 medium eggs
- 410g all purpose flour
- 2g baking powder
- 1tsp salt 2tbsp
- 100% cocoa powder
- 250g chocolate chips (as many as preferred)
Method
Cream the butter and sugar + Add eggs and vanilla
To make these chocolate chip cookies, start by placing the softened butter in a bowl and mixing it until it becomes pale and smooth. Add both the white and brown sugar and mix until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Mix dry ingredients
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Add this mixture to the butter mixture in three parts, folding gently each time. Mix only until no dry flour is visible. Avoid overmixing.
Prepare for baking
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking tray with baking paper (parchment paper).
Add chocolate chips
Fold the chocolate chips into the dough.
Shape the cookies
Roll the dough into balls of about 30 g (1 ounce) and place them on the tray, slightly flattening them. Leave enough space between each cookie, as they will spread. About 12 cookies per tray is recommended.
Bake
Bake for 8–12 minutes, until the edges are lightly crisp but the center is still soft.
Cool
Let the cookies rest on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack.
Tips
Don’t overbake, this keeps the cookies soft.
If the dough feels a bit too sticky, chill it for 15-20 minutes in the fridge.
Slightly pressing the cookies helps them bake evenly.
Notes
This recipe makes a larg batch (40-50 cookies).
Dough can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
You can freeze the dough and bake later.
