Certainly! Here’s a simple recipe for making a dozen chocolate chip cookies:
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add the vanilla extract and egg to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, portion the dough into about 12 equal-sized portions and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
- You can slightly flatten the cookie dough mounds with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown. The centers should still look slightly soft.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your dozen chocolate chip cookies!
