Making It From Scratch
Cookies are one of the best recipes to start off your cooking journey with. They are quick, fun and easy to make. Also, making them is a great activity to do with kids! Who doesn’t like cookies?
Generally, almost every cookie recipe follows these easy steps for assembly.
- Get your ingredients and baking sheet lined with parchment paper ready (doing this ahead of every recipe will make cooking so much easier).
- Cream the butter and sugar. I use a stand mixer for the sake of time. Tip: You know that you have properly creamed your butter and sugar once the mixture is smooth (not gritty), pale yellow in colour, and has noticeably increased in volume. Once creamed you will add the eggs and vanilla and mix until combined.
- Mix your dry ingredients into the wet mixture. You want to mix your dry ingredients into your wet ingredients until combined. Once that is complete fold in all of those delicious chocolate chunks!
- Form dough and place on baking sheets. These are large cookies so expect to create unusually large balls of dough to get that delicious chewy and slightly gooey inside.
- Chill your dough and preheat the oven. Typically you would preheat your oven before starting the recipe BUT this is no ordinary cookie recipe. For best results you want to chill your dough, this way your cookies come out large and you avoid them flattening too much.
- Lastly, bake them until golden. Bake your cookies until golden brown and then let them cool on the baking sheet and wire rack. Try and avoid the temptation of biting into them right away as letting them cool fully leads to the best results.
Once cooled grab some milk and enjoy your Chunky Chocolate Chip Cookies!
