Why you'll love this recipe
Ingredient you need
You need these ingredients to make these chocolate chip cookie on a pan:
- Butter: For best results, use unsalted butter and make sure it's softened but not melted. This helps create the perfect texture and flavor in the cookies.
- Sugar: A combination of white granulated sugar and brown sugar adds sweetness and helps achieve the desired texture. Brown sugar adds moisture and a hint of caramel flavor.
- Eggs: Eggs act as a binder and provide structure to the cookies. Make sure they are at room temperature for easier incorporation into the dough.
- Vanilla Extract: Enhances the flavor of the cookies and adds depth. Use pure vanilla extract for the best taste.
- Flour: All-purpose flour is commonly used in chocolate chip cookies. It provides structure and texture to the cookies. Avoid overmixing the dough to prevent the cookies from becoming tough.
- Baking Soda: Helps the cookies rise and spread during baking. Make sure it's fresh for optimal leavening.
- Salt: Balances the sweetness and enhances the overall flavor of the cookies. Use a fine grain salt for even distribution.
- Chocolate Chips: Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best taste and texture. Semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips are commonly used, but you can also use milk chocolate or dark chocolate depending on your preference.
