The GOAT Chocolate Chip Cookie
27
items This is a list of the ingredients so you can bake the best mini chocolate chip cookies!
Follow this recipe:
1. Melt 110g of unsalted butter and pour into your mixing bowl. (Butter can be melted in the microwave but I found that melting on a pan until is somewhat brown gives it a better taste).
2. Add 150g (light brown sugar) and 115g (granulated sugar) onto your melted butter. Mix until is somewhat liquid, if you are using the mixing machine this process will take about 5 minutes.
3. Add one large egg and about 1tbsp of vanilla extract and mix well.
4. Add 200g of plain flour, about 1/2 tbsp of bicarbonate of soda and about 1/2 tbsp of salt to your mix. Mix well but do not over-mix. (When using the mixing machine some of the mix might get stuck to the sides, if so scoop it down onto the center a...
5. Add 200g of your favorite chocolate chips, for this process instead of mixing them is better so use a baking spoon and do what bakers call “folding” the dough. (For this process is best to not use the mixing machine).
6. Refrigerate your dough for at least 30 minutes. (Solidifies the fat, which prevents excessive spreading in the oven, resulting in thicker, chewier cookies with a better shape).
7. Scoop out dough and make them into 15g balls. (Optional: Add a tiny bit of sea salt onto dough balls for that sweet/salty taste).
8. For oven, bake for 5-6 minutes on 375°F/338°F (Fan).
9. For airfryer; use the bake setting, 8-10 minutes on 280°F - 300°F.
10. Remember to let them set after taking them out and use the glass trick to make them perfectly round.
This recipe should make you about 50 cookies, ENJOY!
