Basic Chocolate Chip Cookies
A delicious, but simple 5 ingredient cookie that is easy to make.
Ingredients
- 225 grams Salted butter room temperature
- 110 grams caster sugar
- 275 grams Plain Flour
- 1 tspn Vanilla Extract
- 75 grams Chocolate Chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5.
Cream the butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy - use either a wooden spoon or mixer
Add vainilla extract, flour and chocolate chips and mix until it forms a dough.
Roll the dough into walnut-sized balls and place them slightly apart from each other on a baking sheet and flatten them with the bottom of a glass or your hand.
Bake in the oven for around 10-12 mins until they are golden brown.
Recipe Notes
Freezeable: Make the dough as directed, fold in the mix-ins and then scoop the dough onto a baking sheet. I like to pop them on a tray in the freezer to harden them up a bit and then transfer them to an airtight container for freezing.
To bake frozen scooped cookie dough, remove the dough balls from the freezer and place them on a lined baking sheet 2 inches apart. Allow the dough to thaw for 20-30 minutes on the counter. Then preheat the oven and bake as directed.
