Calories 210 kcal
- 530 grams all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- 235 grams unsalted butter softened and cubed
- 100 grams caster sugar
- 200 grams packed brown sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 250 grams chocolate chips
Place the butter, caster sugar, and brown sugar in a mixing bowl. Mix on medium speed until creamy.
Add the vanilla extract and the eggs. Mix for 1 minute.
Add the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix on low speed until combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour.
Form small dough balls (about 40–50 g each). Place them on the tray. Press down slightly for flat cookies, or bake them as balls for thicker cookies.
Bake for 9 minutes (40 g cookies) or 10 minutes (50 g cookies).
Let the cookies cool slightly before serving.
