Tips on How to Make the Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies
Besides following this yummy recipe, here are some pro tips I learned along the way when baking these cookies:
- Only melt the butter halfway in the preheating oven before using it, so it’ll be soft AND structured! It will melt in about three to five minutes. After that, use it at room temperature, not immediately after getting it from the oven!
- When beating the egg, make sure that you don’t overdo it. That way, you’ll have the soft eggs you want.
- If the batter feels wet or dough is stuck all around the edges of your mixing bowl, you can add a bit more flour until the dough becomes a giant ball at the center of your bowl.
Finally
And there you have it! This indulgent dessert will go great with milk or ice cream, making it a treat for you and your family to enjoy. Hot from the oven or stored for tonight’s snack, it’ll still have a nice consistency and sweet flavors you’ll drool over for days!

Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups flour, Unbleached, all-purpose
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temp
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
- 6 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 egg, large
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 180 degrees Celsius. While it preheats, apply parchment paper to two baking sheets.
- Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl (flour, baking soda, salt). Then use an electric mixer at medium speed to beat the butter and two sugars until they are smooth. It would take about two minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and let set the mixer on its lowest speed.
- Once the butter and egg mixture is blended, add the flour mixture, mixing all of them together until they are thoroughly combined.
- Add in the chocolate chips, stirring it all together with a wooden spoon.
- Use an ice cream scoop to properly drop the dough onto the baking sheet, making the perfect chocolate cookie shape. Make sure that you drop the cookie dough two to three inches apart from each other.
- Bake the cookies one sheet at a time to ensure a thorough cooking from top to bottom. You’ll know if the cookies are ready to go once the bottom and edges are lightly brown. The top should feel firm when touched. This would take about 10 to 13 minutes.
- After taking the cookies out of the oven, let the cookies cool by letting it sit out for less than ten minutes and then transfer it to your wire rack for it to completely cool. Serve it with milk or ice cream and enjoy!
