Easy Chocolate Chunk Cookies
The easiest cookie recipe I have tried and boy, have I tried a lot. Summer 2020, yep that year, was spent mostly trying out different variations of this recipe, trying to better understand the chemistry involved in baking and what techniques were really worth the effort.
The result is a super easy to prep and quick to bake cookie recipe which has now become my staple base.
Easy Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Ingredients
- 150 g salted butter
- 100 g caster sugar
- 50 g soft brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 180 g plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 100 g dark chocolate (chopped up)
- 100 g white chocolate (chopped up)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180oC and line a loaf tin with baking paper.
- Cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy and add baking powder and salt and vanilla extract.
- Add in the egg and mix with a wooden spoon. Add in flour and chopped chocolate. Mix all the ingredients together and then loose balls shapes, roughly the size of a golf ball.
- Pop them on a lined baking tray with roughly 5cm space around them.
- Bake them for around 8 minutes. Once out of the oven, cool on a wire rack (on top of baking paper) for at least 15 minutes before enjoying.
Notes
- Makes 25 golf ball-sized balls which will become palm-sized cookies.
- No need to refrigerate the cookie dough – size and pop onto a tray and into the oven!
- If stored in an air-tight container they can last for about five days.
