Ingredients:
- 125 g butter, room temperature, for a tender bite
- 150 g brown sugar, imbued with a caramel note
- 50 g white sugar, for a sweet crispness
- 1 egg, to bind the joy together
- 1 tsp vanilla extract, for a hint of aromatic warmth
- 200 g all-purpose flour, the foundation of the cookies
- 1/2 tsp baking powder, for a gentle rise
- 1/4 tsp baking soda, for the perfect spread
- A pinch of salt, to elevate the flavors
- 100 g chocolate chips, the nuggets of happiness
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to a welcoming 180°C (350°F), and dress a baking sheet in parchment, like a fine linen cloth.
- In a grand mixing bowl, cream together the soft butter and the sugars, brown and white, until the mixture is light and fluffy, whispering of sweetness.
- Crack in the egg and splash in the vanilla, stirring with passion until the melody is well-composed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt, as if sifting through the sands of a delicious beach.
- Gradually marry the dry ingredients with the wet, stirring with a gentle hand until a dough forms, the bedrock of our cookies.
- With a tender fold, introduce the chocolate chips, ensuring they are well nestled within the dough.
- With a spoon or an ice cream scoop, portion out the dough onto the baking sheet, spacing the mounds like stars in the night sky.
- Slide the sheet into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, until the cookies blush golden, yet still hint at a soft heart.
- Allow the cookies to rest on the sheet, a brief pause, before transferring them to a wire rack.
