How to Make Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Posted on 18 Jan 2016 by Anna Scott
The best chocolate chip cookies require the best online savings in the form of Captain Cooks promo codes, Sainsburys promo codes and Chocolate Trading Company promo codes, but there is still some debate about what exactly constitutes the ‘best’ sort of chocolate chip cookie. Some like them biscuit-like and crunchy, some prefer them softer, but here we think the perfect chocolate chip cookie is one that is large, flat and chewy, the sort you see in shops and bakeries but might find difficult to replicate at home. Once you’ve had a read, we’ve got a Sainsburys coupon code that can help you save on all the essential ingredients, as well as Chocolate Trading Company promotional codes and Captain Cooks discount codes to up that cookie quality…

Ingredients

250g plain flour

¼ teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

¼ teaspoon salt

175g unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

150g soft brown sugar

100g caster sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 free range egg

1 free range egg yolk

200g milk chocolate chips

 

How to Bake

  • Heat your oven to 170 degrees centigrade/gas mark 3.

  • Soft the flour, bicarb and salt into a bowl and leave to one side.

  • Using a mixer, blend together the melted butter and sugar then beat in the egg, yolk and vanilla until light and fluffy.

  • Remove from the mixer and fold in the flour mix by hand and then lastly, stir in the chocolate chips.

  • Roll the dough into golf ball-sized balls (approximately about a tablespoon’s worth) then flatten them slightly before putting on a non-stick baking tray. You will need three trays with six dough balls on each, well-spaced out so the cookies don’t stick together when they spread.

  • Bake for 10-15 minutes. To get the right chewy texture, it’s best slightly under bake than over bake – they may look undercooked but the dough will harden once they start to cool and develop the essential chewiness.
