Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

Ingredients:

½ cup unsalted butter, softened at room temperature ¼ cup raw sugar (I use Demerara), substitute with granulated sugar if you'd like¾ cup packed light brown sugar1 large egg1 tsp vanilla extract¾ tsp baking soda½ tsp salt1¾ cup all-purpose flour150-200 g chocolate of your choice, roughly chopped into bite-size chunks¾ cup chopped nuts (or any other add-ins), optionalsea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 F or 180 C and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Cream together the butter and sugars for a few minutes or until ligher and fluffy.

Beat in the vanilla extract and egg, until nice and smooth.

Stir in the baking soda and salt.

Then add the all-purpose flour in batches rather than all at once, just to combine.

Finally, fold in the chocolate chunks and any other add-in until well-distributed through out the batter.

Place 2 tbsp sized mounds of dough onto the prepared sheet, 2 inches apart.

Sprinkle the tops with a pinch of sea salt before placing the tray in the oven for 9-11 minutes or until the chocolate has melted, the dough is slightly golden brown and less glossy than before.

Cool for a couple minutes on a wire rack before serving.
