My Favourite Chocolate Chip Cookies

November 26, 2014 by lydiaritchie 20 Comments

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Now before I start sharing my Christmas baking, I am saving that for December (I promise) I thought I would share with you my quick easy go to Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe. This is my favourite recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookies and a real winner in our household, its fast and super easy, so it is a great one for busy mums, the perfect filler for lunch boxes – cause hey, even though its coming up to Christmas, lunches still need to be made and why not add a yummy treat in there, and delicious with a coffee.

I will quite happily admit I always double this recipe, so what normally makes 30 in our house end up as 60. I’m not complaining in any way shape or form it means more to go with that morning coffee, only thing is stopping at one.

You can make these with white, milk, dark chocolate drops; even caramel ones if you can get them or as I like to do a mixture of all of them – yum!

Chocolate CHip Cookies

Chocolate Chip Cookies – Recipe

125 grams butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 3/4 cups self raising flour, sifted
250 grams chocolate bits
 
Preheat oven to 170 degrees Celsius or 150 fan forced. Grease and line 2 baking trays with greaseproof paper
 
Place butter, brown sugar and egg in a bowl and beat with electric mixer until mixture is pale in colour and creamy
 
Stir in flour and add chocolate bits. Mix until well combined
 
Place heaped teaspoonfuls of mixture onto prepared trays (at this point you can choose to make little balls and flatten with a fork or leave for a rustic look). Bake in oven for 15 minutes or until golden. Cool for 5 minutes on baking tray before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely
 
Keep under lock and key so your aren’t tempted to go back for seconds and thirds
 
Enjoy!

    I don’t remember eating one of these yesterday????

    My fav is the the cowboy ones with the rolled oats in them – then you can pretend they are healthy and eat more than one ha ha

    Mmmmm, these look yummy. I’ve just discovered caramel choc chips – I don’t know where they have been all my life! I love that you make them a bit smaller, so one will never be enough!

    Why not stick some m&m’s in there too! I love cookies and chocolate anything. I completely agree with doubling the mixture so there’s more to enjoy for longer!
    Have a beautiful weekend Lydia! x

    These look delicious. And the limited number of ingredients sounds awesome!

    A few questions:
    1. Does the butter need to be at room temperature? Or is it better that way?

    2. Any ideas on how many grams convert to cups or teaspoons? I’m in the US and, of course, we’ve opted for a measuring system that no one else in the world uses. Makes a lot of sense, I know… I can always look it up on the Internet. I’m sure I’ll find it if you don’t know off the top of your head. 🙂

    3. My favorite cookie recipe: http://www.fashionablyemployed.com/2013/07/pumpkin-chocolate-chip-cookies-sharing.html

    thanks for sharing!

      Hi Jen,
      Thanks for stopping by!
      I fnd room temperature butter works best and is easier to work with as well. I would have to look up conversions for cups / teaspoons to grams as I don’t know off the top of my head – sorry to be pain.
      Cant wait to try out your recipe soon
