Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies

Lying awake, tossing and turning, I realised. I missed baking. With my most trusted apparatus I was born holding, my wooden spoon, I decided it was time for a cookie recipe to succeed.

My long-awaited desire to try recipes by Russell from Chasing Delicious was well rewarded. Thus, announcing my victory against the cookie army. 

Yes!! I won you little pieces of cunning devils.

Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies (adapted from Chasing Delicious)

4 oz unsalted butter

4 oz sugar (have to disappoint Russell here, I did not use any fancy schmancy sugar)

1 egg

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

7 oz bread flour

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt + a little for sprinkling

4 oz dark chocolate chopped

4 oz milk chocolate chopped (or a bar of Ritter sport)

1. Preheat oven to 190C/375F. 

2. Combine butter with sugar.

3. Add the egg and vanilla. Stir.

4. Pour in the flour, baking soda and 1/2 tsp salt

5. Stir in the chopped chocolates.

6. In a lined pan, drop spoonfuls of cookie dough 1-inch width, an inch apart from each other. Sprinkle the cookie doughs with little salt.

7. Bake for 10-12 minutes for chewy cookies, 13-15 minutes for crispier cookies. After 6-8 minutes in the oven, flatten the cookies with the back of a spoon and place it back in the oven.

8. Let rest on cooling rack before storing in an airtight container

Victory is mine,
