Ingredients

02 / HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the brown sugar, white sugar, and melted butter. Mix everything together really well until smooth.

02

Step 2

Crack in the egg (make sure it’s at room temperature) and beat it into the mixture for about 3-4 minutes until it’s nice and creamy.

03

Step 3

Add the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir until everything comes together into a dough. Then fold in the chocolate chips.

04

Step 4

Scoop out small balls of dough and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Pop the tray in the fridge for about 15 minutes to firm up the dough a bit.

05

Step 5

Once chilled, bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 170°C (340°F) for 15-18 minutes, until they’re golden around the edges.

06

Step 6

Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before digging in.

Step 7

Serve and enjoy your homemade treats!

03 / EXTRA DETAILS

Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Use room temperature butter for easier mixing and better texture.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes to prevent spreading while baking.
- Don’t overbake; remove cookies when edges are golden but centers are still soft.
