Tasty Chocolate Chip Cookies are a simple delight that never fades. The crunchy yet soft texture with the lovely hint of vanilla and the sweet chocolate chips are a perfect partnership. I once made the mistake of buying a large glass cookie jar and when the children see it was full, they didn’t last long. 35 years later and nothing has changed.

Tasty Chocolate Chip Cookies is a very simple recipe that make about 26 cookies in 25 minutes. My children used to make them and then wrap as a treat for people at Christmas. A tradition that my grandchildren have carried on.

Amazingly simple recipe that works every time. The only problem being is they are so popular, you will need to bake even more.

Ingredients

200 g chocolate chips plain / See note
150 g unsalted butter room temp
225 g all purpose flour plain/sieved
80 g granulated sugar
80 g light muscovado sugar
1 large egg free range
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl add the butter and both sugars and whisk until light and creamy. An electric whisk is easiest.
150 g unsalted butter, 80 g granulated sugar, 80 g light muscovado sugar
Add the egg and vanilla extract and whisk again.
1 large egg, 2 tsp vanilla extract
Turn on the oven and preheat to 190C/375F/Gas Mark 5
Using a fine sieve, sift the flour and bicarbonate of soda into the mixing bowl along with the salt and using a spatula or wooden spoon mix gently.
225 g all purpose flour, ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda, 1/4 tsp salt
Add the chocolate chips and stir well to combine.
200 g chocolate chips
Cover 2 baking trays with greaseproof paper/parchment.
Using a teaspoon, scoop out heaped portions of the mixture. This batch should make roughly 26 – 30 cookies.
When they are ready to be baked, pop into the oven for about 8 minutes or until they have turned a lovely golden brown. The centre however should still be mildly soft and bouncy if depressed.
Leave to cool and firm up slightly before transferring them to a cooling wire rack.
