Let’s create some giant, sweet, and crispy chocolate chip cookies together, shall we?
Ingredients- 200g cake flour (or low-gluten flour)
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 160g unsalted butter, softened
- 80g granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 100g chocolate chips
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare two bowls for making the cookie dough: one large bowl and one smaller bowl.
Step 2
In the smaller bowl, combine the sifted cake flour (200g), baking soda (1 tsp), and salt (1 tsp). Whisk them together until well combined. Think of this as your ‘dry ingredients bowl’.
Step 3
In the larger bowl, cream together the softened butter (160g), granulated sugar (80g), and vanilla extract (1 tsp). Beat them with an electric mixer or a sturdy spatula until the mixture is light, fluffy, and resembles pale yellow cream.
Step 4
Add the eggs (2 large) to the creamed butter mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition. This gradual incorporation prevents the butter and eggs from separating, ensuring a smooth batter.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients from the smaller bowl to the larger bowl, mixing in 2-3 additions. Use a spatula to gently fold the ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; stop when you no longer see streaks of flour.
Step 6
Once the dry ingredients are incorporated, gently fold in the chocolate chips (100g) until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 7
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop or drop large portions of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving ample space between each cookie as they will spread significantly while baking.
Step 8
Bake in a preheated oven at 185°C (365°F) for approximately 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look set. If the cookies aren’t quite done, continue baking for a few more minutes at the same temperature, keeping a close eye on them.
Step 9
Once baked, carefully transfer the cookies from the baking sheet to a wire rack and allow them to cool completely. They will be fragile when hot, so handle with care.
Step 10
Enjoy your perfectly baked, giant chocolate chip cookies with a glass of cold milk or a warm beverage! They make a fantastic treat for any occasion. 🙂
