Baking Tips:
- Make sure the butter is at room temperature to ensure it creams well with the sugars.
- Mixing the dry ingredients separately before combining them with the wet ingredients helps to distribute the baking powder and bicarbonate evenly, preventing clumping.
- Do not over-mix the dough once the flour is added to keep the cookies tender.
Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- 100g butter, at room temperature
- A splash of vanilla extract
- 45g brown sugar
- 45g white sugar
- 200g flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 60g chocolate chips
- A pinch of salt
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream the butter and sugars together in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Whisk together the dry ingredients in a separate bowl: flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Shape the dough into small, elongated shapes suitable for dipping. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart as they will spread a little.
- Bake for about 18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers have set but are still slightly soft.
- Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy! Serve these cookie dippers as a delightful treat with your favorite drink, or store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh and ready for snacking.
