If you like soft and chewy chocolate chip cookies, you'll love this recipe. There's no need to chill the dough prior to baking, making this a quick and easy bake, which is packed with milk and dark chocolate chips. Serve warm for added gooeyness.
Ingredients
(Makes 12 cookies)
125g softened butter
75g light brown soft sugar
75g golden granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 egg yolk
1 tsp vanilla extract
250g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
pinch of salt
100g dark chocolate chips
100g milk chocolate chips
Directions
- Heat the oven to 180C/160Fan/Gas 5.
- Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper (These cookies spread, so you may need 3 trays. Alternatively, bake in 2 batches, depending on the size of your baking trays).
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and both sugars
- Lightly whisk together the egg, egg yolk and vanilla extract. Pour this into the bowl, beat to combine.
- Mix in the flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt, until you have a soft dough.
- Fold in the dark and milk chocolate chips.
- To make each cookie, weigh out 65g of mixture. Use your hands to shape each portion into a rough disc shape - approximately 6.5cm in diameter and 2cm tall. Don't worry about making it too smooth around the edges as a rougher edge adds to the rustic look of the baked cookie.
- Place each disc onto the lined baking trays. The baked cookies are approximately 9cm in diameter, so make sure you leave enough spreading room between each portion.
- Bake in the oven for 8-9 minutes, until the cookies are slightly brown on the edges but still soft in the centre.
- Leave the cookies to cool for about 10 minutes on the tray, then carefully transfer to a wire rack.
Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe Notes:
When you take the cookies out of the oven they will look slightly domed. As they cool, the cookies will sink, crack and harden, which makes it easier to transfer them. Therefore, to avoid breakages, do not try to move them as soon as they come out of the oven.
These chewy chocolate chip cookies are delicious served while still warm. If you have any left, keep in an air tight container for up to 3 days.
