Description
Crunchy and soft cookies with chocolate chips, perfect for any occasion (makes about 25 cookies).
Ingredients
- 100 g (1/2 cup) unsalted butter - softened
- 80 g (2/3 cup) powdered sugar
- 1 egg - room temperature
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 200 g (1 2/3 cups) all-purpose flour (T55)
- A pinch of salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder - optional
- 80 g (1/2 cup) chocolate chips
Instructions
- Place the softened butter and powdered sugar in a large bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer. Beat until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix again until fully incorporated.
- Stir in the chocolate chips and mix briefly to evenly distribute them.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients—flour, salt, and optional baking powder—mixing just until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing.
- Gather the dough using a pastry scraper and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
- Roll out the chilled dough between two sheets of parchment paper to a thickness of 3–4 mm (1/8 inch).
- Freeze the dough for 10–15 minutes to make it easier to cut out shapes.
- Cut out cookies using your preferred cookie cutter and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the cookies for about 10 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.
- Cool the cookies slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
Notes
Storage: Store the chocolate chip sugar cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for about 1 week to maintain their freshness.
Tips:
- Let the cookies cool completely before storing them to prevent condensation.
- For easier handling, chill the dough in the refrigerator before rolling it out.
- For an extra crispy texture, roll the dough out thinly before cutting.
- Freeze the cookies briefly before baking to help them hold their shape during baking.
