Categories     Cookies

Time 32m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup (4 oz | 125 g) stick butter, melted (not spreadable)
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated white sugar ((or a granulated sweetener that measures 1:1 with sugar))
2 tablespoons golden syrup ((or coconut syrup, agave, rice malt syrup, maple syrup or honey may be substituted))
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 egg
1 1/2 cups all purpose or plain flour ((add more as needed -- only up to 1/4 cup extra)*)
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 teaspoon salt
¾ cup chocolate chips (, divided)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Microwave the butter for about 30 seconds to just barely melt it (half soft and half melted).
  • Beat the butter with the brown and white sugar/s until creamy and pale in colour and sugar has dissolved. Pour in the syrup, vanilla and the egg, and lightly beat until just mixed through.
  • Add the flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing until combined. If needed, add in one tablespoon of the 'extra' flour at a time until the dough is still soft but easy to handle and firm enough to form one large ball (the dough should not be dry. I only needed 3 tablespoons of the extra flour).
  • Fold in half of the chocolate chips with your hands.
  • Scoop out 18-20 balls and arrange them on a lined baking sheet with parchment paper. Press the remaining chocolate chips onto the tops of each cookie.
  • Bake for about 10-11 minutes. The cookies will look pale and puffed up, but should be golden around the edges. DO NOT OVER BAKE or your cookies will become hard once they have cooled.
  • Allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the cookies spread evenly and bake more evenly.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature: If the oven is too hot, the cookies will brown too quickly and may burn. If the oven is too cool, the cookies will not bake through.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: This will help them keep their shape and texture.
