Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies

Behold, “The Classic”.
This recipe is beloved by everyone: family, friends, teachers, classmates, those people I know but not really…
The milk powder in the recipe gives it the lush taste and buttery texture and although I personally prefer using dark chocolate chips, everybody else in the universe (yes, that’s right, THE UNIVERSE) loves milk chocolate chips.
Beware when you make these, because you will not be able to stop eating. 

 

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups flour (all-purpose)
• 1 tsp baking soda
• Pinch of salt
• 4 tbsp milk powder
• 155g unsalted butter, softened
• ½ cup white sugar
• ½ cup raw sugar
• 1 egg
• 2-3 tbsp vanilla essence
• ½ cup milk chocolate chips (or you know, as much as you want…I won’t stop you) 

 

Method

Preheat oven to 160°C, and line two baking trays with parchment paper. 
Combine the flour, salt, milk powder and baking soda together in a bowl, and set aside. 
In another bowl, cream the butter with the sugars until fluffy, add the egg and vanilla, and mix well. Add in the flour mixture one tablespoon at a time, until well combined.  
Fold in the chocolate, and then using a tablespoon (or mini ice cream scoop), drop the dough onto the lined baking tray, leaving a few inches between each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes. 
Cool the cookies on the sheet for 5 min and then remove to a plate to cool completely.

 

Also, I made one extra large cookie with the last bit of dough because…why not?
