METHOD

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C for fan ovens). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.

5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing.

6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.

7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden but the centers are still soft. Keep in mind that cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.

9. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Serve and enjoy your delicious chocolate chip cookies with a glass of milk or your favourite beverage.

HANDY TIP

For extra chewiness, you can refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. Chilling the dough helps prevent cookies from spreading too much during baking, resulting in a thicker and chewier texture.
