“Can’t Stop Baking These Cookies” — An Easy Recipe 🍪
If you want a simple, reliable cookie recipe, try these soft chocolate-chip cookies.
Ingredients
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar
- ¼ cup (50 g) white sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1¼ cups (160 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup (130 g) chocolate chips
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream the butter and sugars until smooth.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla.
- In another bowl, mix the flour, baking soda and salt.
- Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Don’t overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the baking sheet, leaving space between them.
- Bake for approximately 9–12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look slightly soft.
- Let them cool on the tray for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack.
🍪 For extra-good cookies
For thicker, chewier cookies, chill the dough for 30–60 minutes before baking. Take them out when the centers still look a little underdone—they’ll continue setting as they cool.
Tip: If you’re making cookies for someone with diabetes, allergies, or dietary restrictions, tell me what ingredients you need to avoid and I can adapt the recipe.
