Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 210°C (375°F), or 195°C (350°F) if you want chewy biscuits.
2. Cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large mixer bowl.
3. Add eggs one at a time, beating until fully incorporated.
4. Add vanilla extract and beat in.
5. In a small bowl, sift together the dry ingredients (except chocolate).
6. Add to the wet mixture in two parts and fold until combined. If you beat this too long, you may get some gluten formation which will change the cookie texture.
7. Stir in chocolate chips.
8. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto un greased baking sheets. There should be enough fat in the biscuit dough to prevent sticking, but using baking paper may help further if desired.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown, cooking times may vary.
10. Let stand for about 1 minute and remove from hot baking sheet to cool on a wire rack.
