Crispy Crunchy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Heya,

"What makes the perfect chocolate chip cookie?" a question I hear frequently as a baker. Chocolate chip cookies are one of the most simple bakes yet I can almost guarantee that every baker has their own unique recipe. I have 3! The reason for this is because I personally find a variation of chocolate chip cookie style recipes to all be amazing. So much so that out of the 3 recipes I am only going to publish 1 on my blog- these ones! This is definitely my brother's favourite of my 3 chocolate chip cookie recipes, mainly because they are ginormous, but also because he prefers a thin crunchier style of biscuit (like my mum) whereas I prefer a soft chewier one (like my dad). This recipe makes the perfect batch of cookies in under 30 minutes and is super duper easy as well as has so much potential. I love varying the recipe slightly every time such as by altering the flavour of chocolate chip or even how long they are cooked for as even a minute can totally alter the texture of the bake. My only tip for this recipe, to ensure you don't go wrong, is to use grease-proof paper on your baking trays, otherwise you will spend an unnecessary large amount of time trying to get them off with a spatula (I know from experience!) I hope this recipe brings you so much joy and I can promise you it is the best chocolate chip cookie recipe one can find!

Here is my recipe for Crispy Crunchy Chocolate Chip Cookies:

Ingredients: (Makes 10)

• 120g Plain Flour
• 3/4tsp Baking Soda
• 115g Butter, softened
• 125g Brown Sugar (for chewiness!)
• 20g Caster Sugar (for crispiness!)
• 1 Egg
• 1/2tbs Vanilla/Almond Extract
• 75g Chocolate Chips (I use a mix of milk and dark)

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 175’c, gas mark 4
2. In a large bowl, cream the butter and both sugars until smooth
3. Add the egg and vanilla and continue to mix
4. Sift in the flour and fold in gently until just combined
5. Mix in your chocolate chips
6. Using an ice-cream scoop, make 10 equal balls of dough and place on 2 grease-proof baking trays at least 3cm apart (they will spread A LOT)
7. Bake for 8-10 minutes depending how well done you like your cookies
8. Enjoy!!
