Simple Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
This chocolate chip cookies recipe is an ode to Martha Stewart’s soft and chewy cookie recipe, with a couple little tweaks in the flavor department (and the less sugar department too!).
Servings: 23 cookies
Calories: 118kcal
Ingredients
- 1⅛ cup all purpose flour
- ½ cup butter (softened)
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ⅛ tsp cinnamon powder
- pinch of nutmeg
- 1 egg
- 1 cup chocolate chip
Equipment
- Stand mixer
Instructions
- Preheat the oven at 350°F.
- Combine butter and sugar until light colored and fluffy (this can take about 10 minutes in a stand mixer on low to medium speed).
- Mix in one egg and vanilla essence.
- In a separate bowl, mix dry ingredients like flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg powder.
- Reduce the speed in the stand mixer and add the dry ingredients to the batter.
- Incorporate fully.
- Stop the mixer.
- Fold the chocolate chips into the batter.
- Place a tablespoon of the batter onto a baking tray.
- Repeat placing others two inches apart in either direction (I do six small cookies per tray).
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
- Repeat for other baking trays.
- Remove each batch from the oven.
- Place on a cooling rack to cool down (or leave for 5 minutes, then turn over and allow the steam to dissipate to prevent softening of the cookies).
- Serve immediately or store in the fridge or freeze.
