I was specifically looking for the chewy type of cookies cause that's my personal favourite. I enjoy chewy ones more than the usual crispy chocolate chip cookies as I feel the former is more packed with flavours? I don't know but this may be just my own personal preference. :)
(This recipe is not of my own. I also do not claim to be a professional baker)
Original Recipe: http://sallysbakingaddiction.com/2013/05/13/chewy-chocolate-chunk-cookies/
I mentioned that this recipe is simple because you barely need any baking utensils (ie mixer). You probably just need to equip yourself with a spatula, 2 mixing bowls (or any regular big bowls) and kitchen scale.
Ingredients
1. 280 gram Plain Flour
2. 1 teaspoon Bicarbonate Soda
3. 1 and 1/2 teaspoons Corn Flour
4. 1/2 teaspoon Salt (no need if you're using salted butter)
5. 170 grams Unsalted Butter at room temperature
6. 135 grams Brown Sugar
7. 100 grams Caster Sugar
8. 1 Large Egg + 1 Egg yolk, at room temperature
9. 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
10. 180 grams Milk Chocolate Chips or Chocolate Chunks
Directions
Sift together plain flour, bicarbonate soda, corn flour and salt into a large bowl. Set aside.
Mix the butter, brown sugar and caster sugar in another bowl. You may choose to whisk it but I find using a spatula works just as fine.
Make sure it is fully incorporated like the picture above!
Now add the eggs. Mix them again until fully combined.
Once you're done, combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients. Again, using the spatula, combine the ingredients until it forms a dough.
Moving on from there, fold in the the yummy chocolate chunks(or chips)! It's slightly difficult folding in but don't worry so much about that, just try your best!
Oh no nope you can't pop them in the oven yet. :(
Cling film the dough and chill it in the fridge for at least 2 hours (or up to overnight). Apparently, this increases the chewiness of the cookies plus the cookies will turn out more flavourful!
Preheat the oven to 162 degree celcius. Once the wait is over, line your baking trays with baking paper. and mould your dough into around 16-25 cookie doughs. If it's 16 cookies, one cookie dough is about 3 tablespoon whereas for 25 cookies is around 2 tablespoon. I was not crazy enough to measure accurately and being Malaysian myself, I just agak-agak lah! actually I was just lazy
('agak-agak' is a typical term used by local cooks/housewives in Malaysia which means 'simply estimate')
You can see from the photo above that my doughs are rather "tall"? That was cause I wanted my cookies to be thicker than wide. So I made them taller instead of moulding them into round shapes. You may top the cookie doughs with extra chocolate chunks or chips, like what I did above.
Now you're almost done! Pop the trays into the oven for 8-10 minutes for smaller cookies, 8-12 minutes for larger ones. Remove them from the oven once the time is up, but don't touch the cookies yet as they will still be soft. Allow them to cool on the trays for about 10 minutes.
Now you may enjoy the fruits of your labour!
These cookies are so sinful (but SOOO GOODDDDD) so make sure you share them with your friends or you can just have them all by yourself actually to soothe your broken little heart after finding out your favourite korean boy band member is in a relationship. *shifty wet eyes*
That's all for now and ask me anything if you have any queries.
Thank you for reading!
