Chocolate Chip Cookies



Nothing beats a plate of freshly baked Chocolate Chip Cookies. These require overnight chilling to ensure the dough develops beautiful toffee caramelised flavours. A truly beautiful recipe which will delight kids and adults alike!

Ingredients

  • 230g Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 130g Caster Sugar
  • 170g Brown Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 350g All-purpose Flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 400g Chocolate Chips or Chunks (milk and dark)
  • Pinch of Flaky Sea Salt

Instructions

  1. In a clean bowl, cream softened butter and sugars using an electric handheld mixer, until light and fluffy.
  2. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
  3. Sift in all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder and a pinch of salt – mix until just combined. Finally add the chocolate chunks and gently fold in.
  4. Cover the dough with cling film and place in fridge to rest for a few hours or preferably overnight.
  5. Preheat oven to 170C. Line baking trays with baking paper. Set aside.
  6. Take your dough out of the fridge. Using a tablespoon, scoop out cookie dough mixture and shape into balls. Make sure to leave plenty of space between each cookie as they will spread as they bake.
  7. Bake for 12 – 14 minutes. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top of the cookies and let cool slightly before eating them all. Enjoy! ;)

Tips & Notes

  • Overnight chilling is an important step of the recipe. It will help create deep toffee flavours and make your cookies extra delicious.
  • This recipe makes approx. 24 cookies. You may choose to shape less cookies to make them chunkier ;)
  • We recommend using 3 baking trays and baking in small batches. This ensures all your cookies are evenly baked.
  • If you have any remaining chocolate chips/chunks, feel free to sprinkle them on the cookies before they go in the oven – extra yumminess guaranteed!
