Chocolate chip cookies

Is there any better scent than when the whole kitchen just smells of freshly baked cookies. No, I don’t think so …. Personally, I think it is one of the best smells that can adorn the kitchen.
There are many types of cookies. They can be crispy, chewy, filled with chocolate, nuts or maybe dried fruit. Yes the options are many, but all so good 🙂 This recipe is with milk chocolate and gold chocolate. I like best when cookies are crispy but chewy in the middle.

Chocolate cookies approx. 20 pcs
110 g of sugar
150 g of light muscovado sugar
150 g of soft butter
1 egg (room temperature)
250 g flour
½ teaspoon vanilla essence
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
175g chocolate buttons or chopped chocolate (You can mix dark, light or white, or stick to some kind of chocolate)

Turn on the oven on 175 degrees. Whisk sugar, muscovado sugar, vanilla and butter together. Then add the egg. Mix together salt, flour, baking powder and baking soda, and add to the sugar mass. If you use a kitchen machine, then use the K-hook, if you use a hand mixer then switch to the dough hooks. And mix the flour with the sugar, then add the chocolate and mix in the dough.

Next, shape the cookie dough into balls of 50 g each and place them on a baking sheet. Remember that they flatten, so put them at a good distance. Bake them for 13-16 minutes, depending on whether you want them soft or crispy. I give mine somewhere between 13-14 minutes, then they are crispy on the edge, and soft in the middle. Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before moving to a rack to cool completely.

Store them in an airtight container

If you do not need to use 20 cookies at once, you can store the dough in a refrigerator for a week, you can also roll the dough into balls and freeze them, then you can quickly throw a few cookies in the oven and then you have delicious freshly baked cookies within 20 minutes.

You can easily add 25-50 g of chopped nuts if you like nuts in your cookies, or some dried cranberries.
