Recipe:
Ingredients:
- 160 g melted butter
- 70 g sugar (powdered or granulated)
- 2 eggs (room temperature)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 150 g chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate bar)
- 260 g all-purpose flour
- 10 g baking powder
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. - Prepare the Dough:
In a large bowl, mix the melted butter with the sugar. Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Gradually add the flour and baking powder, stirring until a dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate. - Chill the Dough:
Place the dough in the freezer for about 15 minutes to firm up. This helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much while baking. - Shape the Cookies:
After chilling, take portions of dough and form them into thick cookies with your hands. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them to allow for spreading. - Bake:
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes (10-12 minutes if making smaller cookies), or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are slightly soft. - Cool and Enjoy:
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these delicious, warm chocolate chip cookies fresh out of the oven!
