Ingredients You’ll Need

Butter 1/2 cup – make sure it’s at room temperature.

Sugar: 1/2 cup – adds sweetness and crunchiness to the cookies.

Flour: 1 1/2 cups 

Vanilla essence: 1 tsp – the secret ingredient for an extra depth of flavor.

Baking powder: 1 tsp – gives the cookies the perfect rise.

Egg: 1 – adds structure and richness to the dough

Chocolate chips: 1 cup

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. This ensures that your cookies bake evenly and do not stick.

Cream the Butter and Sugars

In a large bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar with spatula . Mix until the mixture is light and fluffy—this should take about 2 minutes.

Add Eggs and Vanilla

Add the egg beating well . Stir in the vanilla extract. This is where the magic happens, so be sure to mix until smooth.

Adding Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the flour and baking powder to the mixture . Mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix! This ensures that your cookies stay soft and tender.

Chocolate Chips

 Use a spatula to mix the chocolate chips. You can use dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or even a mix of both—whatever you desire. The more chocolate, the better!

Shape the Dough

now shape dough with hand and make small balls. Space them about 2 inches apart to give them room to spread as they bake.

Bake cookies

Bake the cookies for 20-25 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft and slightly undercooked. 

Ready and Enjoy

Let the cookies cool on the baking tray for a few minutes now transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. The cookies will become crunchy as they cool .

Tips for Perfect Cookies Every Time

Don’t skip the chilling step: While this recipe doesn’t call for chilling the dough, it can help if you’re looking for a thicker cookie. Chilling the dough for 30 minutes to an hour will give the dough time to firm up and prevent excessive spreading in the oven.

Mix up the chocolate: Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate chips (white, dark, peanut butter, or even chunks) to change up the flavor

Size matters: The size of your cookie dough balls will affect the baking time. Larger cookies will need more time in the oven, while smaller ones will cook faster. Aim for about 1.5 tablespoons of dough per cookie for the ideal size

How to Store Chocolate Chip Cookies ?

Once they’re all baked and cooled, store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want them to store for longer period, you can freeze them .
