Recipe ingredients
- All-Purpose Flour: The flour is what provides the structure and helps them hold their shape. I’ve used 2 cups of all-purpose flour in this recipe. Too much flour can lead to cookies that won’t spread enough in the oven.
- Baking Soda & Baking powder: The baking powder helps to give the cookies a rise and the baking soda helps in the spreading of the cookies. Half a teaspoon of baking powder and baking soda is added.
- Salted Butter: I swear by using salted butter in most of my recipes, since the salt balances and enhances all the flavors. I’ve used 3/4th cup of salted butter.
- Granulated Sugar: This is where the sweetness of the cookies comes from. Also, it helps in the spread of the cookie. Half a cup of sugar is added in this recipe.
- Vanilla Extract: Vanilla extract is added to flavor the cookie. 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract is added.
- Chocolate Chips: I have used a mix of dark and milk chocolate chips in this recipe. Feel free to use any kind that you prefer though!
