Easy Chocolate Chip Cookies

October 19, 2010 By Lokness 4 Comments

Chewy chocolate chip cookie is a decent new thing to me. Back in Hong Kong, I have never had a chewy cookie. I always thought chocolate chip cookie was crunchy only. Until I came to the US, I realized there is something better out there. The best chocolate chip cookie is the chewy type! The soft center is so temptingly delicious. This recipe is so easy to do, and no special equipment is needed. I have made this many times, and this recipe never fails. Once you have tried this, you will never go back to the ready-to-bake fridge dough!

Easy Chocolate Chip Cookies

Course Dessert
Keyword baked, chocolate chip, cookie, edible gift, holidays

Ingredients

  • ½ cup plus ½ tablespoon unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup packed dark brown sugar
  • ¾ cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1½ cup milk chocolate chips or semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Position the rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375˚F.
  • Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone sheet.
  • Melt the butter in microwave until all melted. Cool slightly.
  • Whisk the sugars, eggs, butter and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt.
  • Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a spatula. Make sure not to over mix. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Wet hands slightly. Scoop a heaped tablespoon of the dough onto one hand, and roll the dough into a ball. Put the dough on the baking sheet, and space the dough apart for about 2 inches.
  • Bake until slightly golden for 12 – 14 minutes. For a soft center, 12 minutes is enough. Transfer the cookies to a rack to cool. Serve and enjoy. (Before moving on to the second batch, make sure the baking sheet is cool off.)

Notes

  1. For storage, cool the cookies completely. Put them in a tightly sealed container. They can be store up to 5 days.

Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to Sometimes, something simple is the best. My go-to is a cheeseburger w/ extra toasted bun & onion. Bryan likes his double-double w/ onion. The fries were perfectly crispy, and I like to dip them in the spread sauce. Please order me 2 fries next time!😂 How do you like your In-N-Out?
Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice cream time! This Vanilla Blueberry Thyme Swirl Ice Cream is creamy, little vanilla-y w/ bits of blueberries & a hint of thyme. That vibrant blueberry swirls also makes the prettiest purple color too! I made this ice cream using my blueberry thyme jam, so it’s very easy.🫐🍨

Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Spring time means berries. Let starts w/ Blueberry Thyme Jam! Sweet, lemony & earthy. A nice surprising combo, but both blueberry & thyme compliment each other really well. I once served this once w/ a slice of Basque cheesecake, & it was fantastic! The jam is good on all sort of things, like yogurt and charcuterie board. 🫐

When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cell When I think of comfort food, this Satay Beef Cellophane Noodles in Clay Pot (沙嗲牛肉粉絲煲) definitely is up there on the top. One of my favorites to order in Hong Kong! It’s hearty & rich. That tender beef & noodles are coated w/ a savory & slightly sweet satay sauce. Little kick from the chili & the earthiness from the mushroom. Bold flavors! Please just give me a bowl of rice already! Btw, this takes only 30 mins to put together, which makes a great weeknight dish.

Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re ba Maude (@mauderestaurant) has reopened & we’re back! It closed down during the pandemic & eventually was selling sweet & savory pies for a while. Once we heard Maude was about to reopen, we made reservation. It’s a 9-course tasting menu w/ the focus on California cuisine this time. Everything was incredible. We chose to sit on the chef’s table & watched them plating & cooking. Precision & speed w/ lots of components. We had our many firsts, like cactus, caviar, & black truffle. Our favorites of the night were caviar w/ peas, abalone & bread w/ aged butter. We really love this place & look forward to going back soon!

❣️Always a multi-course tasting menu & changes often.
Am I dreaming? Hailing in Pasadena? The mix of hai Am I dreaming? Hailing in Pasadena? The mix of hail & rain probably lasted for a good 30-minute. I was very excited at first, then it got crazy. Hail was collecting everything & my patio started to flood. I took out a broom & removed some of the hail. That worked, the water started to move & subside eventually. So glad my apartment wasn’t flooded. Whew! I have seen hailing, but this is another level. The ground was covered in hail. Really incredible!
Morning bun from Tartine Bakery Pasadena. Crispy & Morning bun from Tartine Bakery Pasadena. Crispy & chewy laminated croissant bun w/ the taste of cinnamon & orange zest. This location just opened a couple weeks ago. It’s a luxury to have a bakery like this in the neighborhood. I know I’ll be stopping by there all the time. Thinking about their croissant, lemon tart, brownie & baguette already! @tartinepasadena @tartinebakery
