Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies taste amazing. They are the perfect combination of whatever chocolate you have and butter, They are gooey on the inside and taste absolutely delicious. My children love these and they stopped asking for any other kind of cookie since I started making these.

The good thing about this recipe, or formula if I may call it that, is the fact that you can use almost any kind of chocolate you have at home. These ones I made with the halloween chocolate leftovers that I knew it would only lay around and not being eaten for weeks. Here is a picture of what I used but you can of course use any type of chocolate that you can chop into chunks or smaller pieces.

The recipe requires about 400g of chocolate chips so ideally you can cut the chocolate into bite size pieces and weigh the total amount or you can measure them easier if you are using chocolate blocks. This recipe makes about 20 to 25 cookies depending on the size you bake them. They are especially delicious if you use chocolate with almonds or nuts in them.

These cookies are the best when they are freshly baked but also easy to store in a biscuit tin for up to 1 week to 10 days.

Ingredients
  

225g Butter

200g Brown Sugar

150g Granulated Sugar

1 pack of Vanilla sugar or you can use 2 tsp vanilla extract

2 eggs

400g flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp baking powder

1 pinch of salt

400g chocolate chips, or chopped chocolate of any kind you like

Instructions
 

Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan) / 350°F.

    Line baking trays with baking/parchment paper.

      In a large bowl, beat the soft butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes with a mixer).

        Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each until fully combined and smooth.

          In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

            Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in 2–3 additions, mixing on low or with a spatula just until no dry flour remains (don’t overmix).

              Fold in the chocolate chips/chopped chocolate.

                Scoop about 1 tablespoon (or a small ice cream scoop) of dough per cookie.

                  Place on the tray with some space between them (they will spread).

                    Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers still look slightly soft.

                      For softer cookies, remove as soon as the edges are set; for crisper, leave 1–2 minutes longer.

                        Let cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

                          Once they are completely cool off you can place them in a cookie jar or biscuit thin to preserve.
