02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix together the brown sugar, white sugar, and melted butter until everything is well combined.

02

Step 2

Crack in the egg (make sure it’s at room temperature) and beat the mixture for about 3-4 minutes until it’s smooth and a bit fluffy.

03

Step 3

Add the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir everything together until it forms a dough. Then fold in the chocolate chips.

04

Step 4

Scoop out small portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on a baking sheet, spaced apart. Pop the tray in the fridge for about 15 minutes to firm up the dough a bit.

05

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F). After chilling, bake the cookies for 15-18 minutes until they're golden around the edges.

03 / EXTRA DETAILS

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Use room temperature butter for better mixing and texture.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to prevent spreading while baking.
- Don’t overbake; remove the cookies when edges are golden but centers still look soft.

Why you’ll love it

These cookies are a timeless favorite because of their perfect balance of sweet and buttery flavors. The gooey chocolate chips melt in your mouth, creating a comforting treat that’s hard to resist. They bring back warm memories and are great for sharing with family and friends.

Serving ideas

Serve warm with a glass of cold milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. They also pair well with coffee or tea for a cozy afternoon snack. Adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking can enhance the chocolate flavor.

Storage & leftovers

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. To keep them soft, add a slice of bread to the container. For longer storage, freeze the cookies in a sealed bag for up to three months and thaw before serving.
