Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies ♫

Here's an easy, old-fashioned chocolate chip cookies recipe. Chewy on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Goes well with a glass of cold milk. You can of course use nuts, white chocolate chips, M&M's or some other candy instead of dark chocolate chips - whatever floats your boat. * You don't need a stand mixer for this recipe; a wooden spoon or an electric mixer will work just fine. The extra egg yolk will give the batter some extra richness. *

Makes about 20 medium sized cookies Ingredients: • 5 decilitres (2 cups) all-purpose flour • ½ teaspoon baking soda • ½ teaspoon salt • 100 grams (3/4 stick) butter, melted • 2½ decilitres (1 cup) packed brown sugar • 1 decilitre (about ½ cup) white caster sugar • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract • 1 whole egg + 1 egg yolk (free range - because we love chickens!) • 2½ decilitres (1 cup) dark chocolate chips How to do: 1. Preheat oven to 175° Celsius (350° Fahrenheit). 2. Sift and whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside. 3. In another large bowl, stir butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until well combined. 4. Add in egg and egg yolk and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. 5. Now add the flour mixture from earlier and stir to combine. Use your hands if the dough gets too hard to work with. 6. Add in chocolate chips and mix in until evenly distributed. 7. Scoop out 2 tablespoons of the dough for each cookie, and roll into balls. Place them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Done! Free tip: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before trying to pick them up - they can easily break apart otherwise.
