"A few years ago, during my studies, I lived with an Australian host family. First, my host mom would bake these cookies, and then it was me (with the help of three young girls) baking this recipe again and again. We never got tired of it! It’s a plus to know your oven well for these cookies to achieve the perfect caramelized edges and bottoms (the brown sugar does the trick here), while the center is still soft and chewy. The trick is to remove them from the oven when they still look almost raw. That’s why it’s worth staying in the kitchen, close to the oven, to seize the perfect moment! Read more on this below in the instructions. You can find the original recipe, which is the undisputed base for this one, here: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/25037/best-big-fat-chewy-chocolate-chip-cookie/. #stayhomekeepcooking"

Step 1/4
- 16⅞ g flour
- ⅛ tsp baking soda
- ⅛ tsp salt
- bowl
- fine sieve
- wooden spoon
Preheat oven to 165°C/330°F. Sift flour and baking soda to a bowl, add salt, and mix.
Step 2/4
- 10⅝ g butter (melted)
- 12½ g raw sugar
- 6¼ g sugar
- ⅛ tbsp vanilla extract
- ⅛ egg
- 21⅞ g chocolate chips
- hand mixer with beaters
- wooden spoon
Add butter, raw sugar, and sugar to a large bowl. Beat for approx. 3 min., or until combined. Add vanilla extract and egg, then keep beating until the mixture is light and fluffy. Stir in flour mixture until it's just incorporated. Use a rubber spatula to fold in chocolate chips (or chopped dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa).
Step 3/4
- ice cream scoop
- baking sheet
- parchment paper
Use an ice cream scoop or a large spoon to form equal-sized cookies. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving plenty of room in between as they will spread out while they bake.
Step 4/4
Start to bake the cookies for approx. 8 min., but you can go up to 12 min. depending on your oven. The edges should be golden brown while the center should look almost raw. If you feel like the cookies are under-baked, that's just the right moment to remove them from the oven. They will firm up outside of the oven and become wonderfully chewy. Let the cookies cool out completely to get them a tiny bit crispier, or store them between sheets of parchment in an airtight container while they are still lukewarm. Enjoy!
Enjoy your meal!
