Chocolate Chip Cookie

Classic American cookies with crisp edges, soft centers and plenty of dark chocolate chunks. A treat with milk or coffee.

Ingredients

• 115 g butter (softened)
• 100 g (½ cup packed) brown sugar
• 100 g (½ cup) sugar
• 50 g (1) egg
• 5 g (1 tsp) vanilla extract
• 190 g (1½ cups) white flour
• 3 g (½ tsp) baking soda
• 3 g (½ tsp) salt
• 170 g dark chocolate

Instructions

1. 1

   Beat the softened butter with the brown sugar and sugar using a mixer for 2-3 minutes until creamy.

2. 2

   Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat for 1 more minute.

3. 3

   Whisk the flour, baking soda and salt in another bowl, add to the butter mixture and fold with a spatula until no flour remains.

4. 4

   Chop the dark chocolate into chunks and fold into the dough. Chill the dough for 30 minutes.

5. 5

   Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Scoop walnut-sized balls (about 30 g) onto trays lined with baking paper, spaced apart; this makes about 24 cookies.

6. 6

   Bake at 180 °C for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers still soft.

7. 7

   Leave on the tray for 5 minutes, then cool on a wire rack.
