Total Time: 22 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the cookies bake evenly and achieve the perfect texture.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ½ cup of softened unsalted butter, ½ cup of brown sugar, and ¼ cup of granulated sugar. Using an electric mixer or a whisk, cream the ingredients together until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the creamed mixture. Beat the mixture until fully combined, ensuring the egg is well incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1¾ cups of all-purpose flour and ½ teaspoon of baking soda. This helps to evenly distribute the baking soda throughout the flour.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed or by hand until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tougher cookies.
- Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still soft. The cookies will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the oven.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them set up and maintain their soft texture.
- Enjoy your OMG Soft Batch Chocolate Chip Cookies Pure Nirvana warm or at room temperature, and store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh!
Tips
- Perfect Butter Consistency: Make sure your unsalted butter is softened to room temperature for the best creaming results. This will help create that light, fluffy texture that is essential for soft cookies.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the dry and wet ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to tougher cookies, so be gentle!
- Chill the Dough: For an extra soft and chewy texture, consider chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking. This helps the cookies maintain their shape and enhances the flavor.
- Monitor Baking Time: Keep an eye on your cookies as they bake. They should be lightly golden at the edges while remaining soft in the center. Remember, they will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the oven.
- Storage Secrets: To keep your cookies fresh and soft, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. You can also add a slice of bread to the container to help retain moisture.
- Experiment with Mix-Ins: Feel free to get creative! Try adding nuts, dried fruits, or even a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking for an extra flavor boost.
