Ingredients:
- 1 cup margarine
- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your baking sheets by greasing them lightly or lining them with parchment paper.
-
Cream margarine and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the margarine and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
-
Incorporate eggs: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
-
Add vanilla: Pour in the vanilla extract and mix until well combined with the margarine and sugar mixture.
-
Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, and baking soda. This step helps to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients and prevents any lumps in the cookie dough.
-
Mix wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough cookies.
-
Add chocolate chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough. Feel free to use your favorite type of chocolate chips, whether semi-sweet, milk chocolate, or dark chocolate, for a personalized touch.
-
Form cookie dough: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Alternatively, you can roll the dough into balls for a more uniform shape.
-
Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden brown. It’s crucial not to overbake the cookies, as they will continue to cook slightly once removed from the oven. Remember, for irresistibly chewy cookies, stick to the shorter baking time.
-
Cool and enjoy: Once baked, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these CHEWY Chocolate Chip Cookies warm with a glass of milk or store them in an airtight container for later indulgence.
