Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients
Begin by ensuring your butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) in static mode and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. -
-
Mix the Sugars and Butter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Add a pinch of salt for flavor balance. Using an electric hand mixer, cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. -
Incorporate the Egg
Crack the egg into the mixture and blend it well with the electric mixer. Make sure the egg is fully incorporated before moving to the next step. -
Add the Dry Ingredients
Sift the all-purpose flour into the bowl along with the baking soda. Gradually mix these dry ingredients into the wet mixture, using the electric mixer on low speed until a dough forms. -
Fold in the Chocolate Chips
Gently fold the dark chocolate chips into the dough, ensuring they are evenly distributed for chocolatey goodness in every bite. -
Portion the Dough
Using a cookie scoop or a spoon with a diameter of about 5 cm (2 inches), scoop out portions of the dough weighing approximately 40-45 g each. Roll them into balls with your hands and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Space the dough balls at least 5 cm apart as they will spread during baking. -
Bake the Cookies
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Avoid overbaking to maintain the cookies’ soft centers. -
Cool and Serve
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving. Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Tips for Perfect Cookies
- Butter Consistency: Ensure the butter is soft but not melted for the best texture.
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Use room-temperature ingredients to help them blend seamlessly.
- Measuring Flour: Avoid overpacking the flour in your measuring cup. Use a scale for accuracy.
- Customize: Feel free to swap dark chocolate chips for white or milk chocolate, or add a handful of nuts for extra crunch.
