Ingredients for Chocolate Chip Cookies

The ingredients for chocolate chip cookies are simple and easy to make. Let’s look at the ingredients below:

1. Butter: Of course, I need butter. I use 1 cup of salted butter, but you can use unsalted butter if you prefer. I use 1 cup of melted butter, which makes the cookie dough very easy to prepare.
2. Brown or white sugar: I use both sugars. Both sugars taste great, but you can use just one. Dark sugar will give you a slightly richer flavour. I use 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup white sugar.
3. All-purpose flour: Use 2 cups of all-purpose flour. Add more flour if needed, but I use measuring cups for ease.
4. Salt: A little salt makes the taste very nice. You can choose to use salt or not, but if you want salted cookies, be sure to add it with the other ingredients.                                                                                    Salt
5. Chocolate chips: Of course, chocolate chips are essential for chocolate chip cookies. I use dark semi-sweet chocolate chips, but you can use dark, milk, or white chocolate chips. I prefer dark chocolate chips; the combination is just so good.

6. Eggs: I use 2 medium-sized eggs—1 full egg and 1 egg yolk. This gives the cookies a nice flavor and a fluffy texture.Eggs
7. Vanilla extract: I use 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. It helps eliminate any bad smells from the eggs.
8. Baking soda: I use 1 teaspoon of baking soda. This makes the cookies fluffy and soft.

How to Make Chocolate Chip Cookies

The process of making chocolate chip cookies is very easy and simple. Follow my instructions, and I’m sure you’ll get good results. So, let’s go step-by-step through the recipe.

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Prepare the oven. Then, the first task is to melt the butter. Let it melt completely and wait until it’s 90% cool and 10% warm.
2. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter with brown and white sugar. Use an electric mixer and mix until smooth. Once the butter and sugars are mixed together, proceed to the next step.
3. Add the eggs at room temperature—1 full egg and 1 egg yolk—and mix well. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and beat until smooth. Then, add the baking soda and a pinch of salt and mix again.
4. Once the mixture is well-beaten, add the all-purpose flour and mix with a spatula until combined. Then, add the chocolate chips and mix until evenly distributed.
5. Use an ice cream scoop to form dough balls about 2 inches apart on a baking sheet.
6. Baking time: Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies are golden brown, which should take about 10 minutes. Once done, remove the cookies from the oven. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
7. Once completely cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container. They can be served with milk, tea, or coffee. Enjoy!

Storage and Tips for Chocolate Chip Cookies

1. Store the cookie dough in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month. When you’re ready to bake, let the dough come to room temperature before baking.
2. You can refrigerate the cookie dough for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
3. If you want a darker or lighter flavour, you can adjust the type of sugar you use. Be sure to beat the dough for 3 to 4 minutes for the best texture. Let the cookies rest for a few minutes before baking.
4. The baking time is usually between 10 to 15 minutes, depending on your oven.
5. Always store the cookies in a cool place after baking.
6. You can use melted butter or softened butter, depending on your preference.
