Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 10 Tbsp salted butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup (163g) brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (115g) granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cup (266g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (300g) chocolate chips, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (180°C) to prepare for baking the cookies.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugars: Using a stand mixer or electric mixer, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which creates a smooth base for the dough.
  3. Add Egg and Vanilla: Scrape down the bowl’s sides, then add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix until fully incorporated to ensure even flavor distribution.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: Add the all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Mix gently until a soft dough forms without overmixing to avoid tough cookies.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Carefully fold the finely chopped chocolate chips into the dough to evenly distribute the chocolate throughout.
  6. Shape the Dough: Portion the dough into small balls approximately 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon in size. For ease, roll the dough out with a rolling pin, freeze for 10 minutes, cut into small squares, then roll each square into a ball. Arrange the dough balls on parchment-lined cookie sheets.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies turn golden brown around the edges.
  8. Cool Completely: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet completely to firm up and develop their crisp texture.
  9. Serve and Store: Serve with a bowl of milk for dipping or enjoy as a snack. Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 4 days to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Freezing the dough before shaping helps achieve uniform cookie sizes and prevents spreading during baking.
  • Chopping chocolate chips finely mimics the texture of cereal-sized bits, enhancing the cookie crisp experience.
  • Cookies will be soft when hot but crisp up as they cool completely on the pan.
  • For longer storage, cookies can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
  • Substitute salted butter with unsalted butter and add 1/4 tsp extra salt if preferred.
