Who doesn’t love cookies? When it comes to Chocolate Chip Cookies, they are a perfect treat no matter what age you are. Make these delicious chocolate chip cookies under 30 min. What are you waiting for? Treat yourself to these chocolaty heavens.
Cookies are a perfect treat, isn’t it? They are great for kids and to use as school snacks. Even better served at a birthday party or to use them as giveaways, potluck treats or to treat yourself to.
The tastiest bit of these cookies are the chocolaty side of it. The amount of chocolate added will melt in your mouth with each bite. That’s the best part.
Is it strange to bake cookies in a cupcake tray or a muffin pan?
When cookies are made in baking sheets, its best to chill first. When baking they spread into this perfect circle shapes. Left with a soft middle if taken out of the oven at the perfect time. However, when baked in a muffin pan or a cupcake tray, no need to chill, the cookies don’t spread, they hold the shapes well, which results in tons of soft and a chewy middle to indulge in. Try it yourself!
How It’s Made
First, blend the liquid ingredients well then add the dry ingredients. Remember not to over-mix it. When the dough is coming together, lastly, add the chocolates. Gently mix to combine the ingredients together and start baking.
This recipe calls for 2 cups of chocolate chips. If it is too much you may reduce it but the best part of these cookies are the chocolates. Try adding different kinds of chocolates.
Go with Oh Henry! it is loaded with chewy goodness and mixed in with nuts which will give the cookies extra flavours. If chocolates aren’t your thing then go with soft caramel candies. You may add just about any sweetening to add flavours you prefer.
I even tried with smarties and chocolate chips together in cookies and they came out delicious.
Tiny confession…
These cookies on the pictures were made with my kids. It ended up being in the oven just a minute too long. Which made the edges darker and crispier but the middle came out just right.
I did use the mini cupcake tray, which means less baking time. Whether you use the baking sheets, muffin pan or the cupcake tray. Do remember to check just before the baking time ends. If not done keep a close eye on the cookies. They will easily get burnt.
I got distracted with the kids and the next thing my cookies are just a tad bit overdone. That happens you know… Well, I hope you don’t make the same mistake as I did and make perfect cookies to treat yourself.
Chocolate chip cookies – So chewy, soft and addictive
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter room temperature
- 1/3 cup Granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar
- 1 large Egg room temperature
- 1 tsp Vanilla essence
- 1 & 1/2 cup All-purpose-flour
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 1 tsp Cornflour
- Pinch Salt
- 2 cups semi-sweet Mini chocolate chips or chunks of broken milk chocolate bar of your choice
Instructions
-
Use the kitchen-aid mixture or a hand-held beater to beat the butter, granulated sugar, and the brown sugar together until light in colour.
-
Once it is beaten well, add the egg and the vanilla essence.
-
Next, on another bowl combine the flour, baking soda, cornflour and the salt together.
-
On low speed, gradually mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients. Mix it lightly avoid overmix.
-
Lastly, add the mini chocolate chips and gently give it a mix. You may add broken chunky pieces of milk chocolate bars or just about any chocolaty chunks of your choice.
-
If making regular cookie shapes leave it in the fridge to chill the dough for about 30min to an hour. If using the cupcake pan no need to chill.
-
When ready to bake the cookies, preheat the over to 350’F (175’F).
Cookies baked in baking sheets
-
When cookies are made in baking sheets they spread into a perfect circle shape. Left with a soft middle if taken out of the oven at the perfect time.
-
Scoop a big spoonful of the cookie dough, roll it to a ball if preferred, and place it on parchment covered baking sheets. Place no more than 6-8 dough per cookie sheets so that there is enough space for the cookies to spread when baking.
-
Set the kitchen timer to the minimum recommended time. if cookies aren't done yet keep a close eye to avoid burnt cookies.
-
Bake for 8-12 minutes depending on the size. When done. remove from the oven, let it cool in the baking sheet for 3-5 min before transferring to a cooling rack.
-
To check if done, press the edges of the cookies with a spatula. If the edges feel close to firm it is done and you may remove it from baking further. It is normal to have the middle of the cookie slightly soft when taking it out. However, when checking the firmness of the edge and it leaves a noticeable dent or goes inward easily, let the cookies bake for few more minutes.
Cookies baked in a cupcake tray
-
Baking the cookies in a cupcake tray will help hold the shape, resulting in much chewier and a softer middle. I used the smaller cupcake tray, you may use the regular size or the muffin pan as well to bake the cookies. Baking time differ depending on the pan.
-
Grease the cupcake tray lightly with butter or shortening. Scoop a spoonful of the cookie dough and place them on the cupcake tray. Bake at 350’F for 5-7min.
-
Check if the cookies are done by inserting a wooden toothpick up to the mid-point then removing to check if there is any dough stuck to it. If so the cookies need another few more minutes to bake. If the toothpick comes out clean the cookies are done. It is normal to see melted chocolates on the toothpick but not the cookies dough, and when removing from the oven it is alright if the middle is still soft.
-
It is important to keep a close eye on the cookies after the last check to avoid burnt or over-done cookies.
-
When done, remove from the oven, let it cool in the cupcake tray for 2 min before transferring them to a cooling rack.
