Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

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, have the best texture and every bite tastes incredible.

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 sheets 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!

You can use a cookie scoop to portion out the cookies, but if not a tablespoon will work also! A little trick Chilling the cookie dough balls in the fridge before baking will improve the bake but is not essential.

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!

You can save these in the freezer for about two months if stored correctly. 

How to Make this Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe – Step By Step

Keep scrolling to get the full method below, but here is a quick summary:

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 180 C (which is about 350 degrees F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients followed by the wet ingredients.

Step 3: Whisk to form mixture and divide into cookie dough balls.

Step 4: Place evenly across baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes or when just turning golden brown.

Step 6: Let cool on the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool to room temperature.

Making Them 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. 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 also 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 use chocolate chunks instead (so melty!).
