Hey there, cookie lovers! School’s out, and what better way to celebrate than with the best chocolate chip cookie ever? Today, I’m sharing my secret recipe for these mouthwatering treats that are sure to make your summer even sweeter.
Let’s get started with the ingredients. You’ll need:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Now, here’s how to make these delicious cookies:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and egg, and mix well.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These chocolate chip cookies are best served warm with a cold glass of milk, but they’re also perfect for packing in a lunchbox or sharing with friends at a summer picnic. And if you’re feeling creative, here are some ways to customize them:
- Add nuts like walnuts or pecans for a crunchy twist.
- Swap out the semi-sweet chocolate chips for milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips for a different flavor.
- Drizzle with melted chocolate for an extra indulgent treat.
- Top with sprinkles or sea salt for a touch of added texture and flavor.
So, go ahead and celebrate the end of school with these amazing chocolate chip cookies. Share them with your friends and family, and savor every bite of this summer staple. And don’t forget to tag me in your cookie pictures on social media! I can’t wait to see your creations.
