Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
Broiling your cookie dough before baking will make perfectly chewy (yet not super underdone) chocolate chip cookies!
Servings: 20 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 stick butter at room temperature
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 Tbsp. vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- In a stand mixer (or a large bowl with a hand mixer) cream together the butter, brown sugar, white sugar, vanilla extract, salt, baking powder, and baking soda, for 3 minutes.
- Once the mixture is fully mixed and somewhat fluffy, add the egg and mix until combined.
- Sprinkle in the all-purpose flour, then the chocolate chips. Let the stand mixer run until everything has mixed and a dough has formed.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Scoop out 1 tablespoon of dough for each cookie and place each one on the baking sheet at least 2 inches apart.
- If desired, sprinkle some extra salt on top of the cookies. This is not a requirement.
- Switch the oven to the broil setting. Broil the cookie dough balls for 1 minute.
- Switch the oven back to 350 degrees and bake for 15 minutes.
