Ingredients for Ben S Chocolate Chip Cookies

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • Brown Sugar
  • Granulated Sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Baking Powder
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • Nuts
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

How to Make Ben S Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, then stir in the vanilla.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  6. Use a small cookie scoop (or a tablespoon) to place rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
