Soft and chewy on the inside with just a little crunch on the outside, these Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies work every time!
Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies
When it comes to chocolate chip cookies, I really only like the homemade ones. I don’t eat them very often, so I don’t want to waste my cookie fix on store bought versions that are dry and crumbly. These cookies are genuinely perfect – so soft and a little gooey when they come out of the oven but hold their shape and taste incredible.
Chocolate Salted Cookies
I am a huge fan of salted chocolate anything really! So when it came to making these cookies, I knew I wanted sea salt to be in the recipe. Maldon Sea Salt is the best one to go with. It’s the big, flaky type of sea salt and works really well when sprinkled on top of the cookies.
It’s available in most supermarkets and is inexpensive (about €2.50 – €3 for a box). If you can’t get your hands on any, you can use any other sea salt. Or, if you are not the biggest fan of the chocolate and salt combo, you can omit it from the recipe completely – the cookies will still taste great!
You can use any type of chocolate chips you like in this recipe. By choosing a dairy free option, these cookies are completely vegan! Instead of using regular chocolate chips, I decided to chop up a 100g Lindt Dark Sea Salt Bar (which is actually vegan, and continuing the theme of loving anything chocolate salted) and it worked so well!
Cooking The Perfect Cookies
Cookies are an easy option when it comes to baking. They don’t take as much of an investment of time, energy or ingredients as many other recipes and you get to reap the rewards after just 10 short minutes in the oven! This recipe is so easy too, it’s a great one to whip up if you want to take something homemade over to a friend’s house but you are short on time.
This recipe makes 12 cookies so I suggest using two baking trays to make sure the cookies have enough room between each other to expand. If you prefer to make a smaller batch, simply cut the recipe in half! Depending on your oven, they take roughly 10-12 minutes to cook. If you want a slightly crunchier cookie, just leave them in for an extra minute or so. Any longer and you risk burning them!
