THE BEST CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE RECIPE EVER

the recipe makes about 15 regular sized cookies or 30 mini, I frequently double the recipe because I have 5 siblings LOL

INGREDIENTS: 

 3/4 cups (170g) unsalted butter (add 2 tablespoons (28g) if u brown ur butter)

1 cup (180g)  light brown sugar

1/4 cup (50g)  granulated sugar(white sugar)

1 egg+1 egg yolk

1 table spoon vanilla (15ml) (I kinda just measure with my soul it doesn't have to be precise)

1/2 teaspoon salt+a pinch for topping (3g) (again measuring with my soul)

like a pinch of nutmeg (completely optional )

3/4 teaspoon (4g) baking soda

1 and  3/4 cups (220g) all purpose flour

about 1 cup(170g) semisweet chocolate chips(I measure with my soul) (you can also use chopped up chocolate bars, m&ms, white chocolate or any other type of chocolate candy u want)

EQUITMENT:

large bowl

measuring cups or scale

rubber spatula or wooden spoon to stir with

baking sheet

cookie scoop thing(if you don't have one you can use a table spoon)

TIPSSSSSS:

BROWN YOUR BUTTER ITS SO MUCH BETTER THAT WAY.

use around the full amount of vanilla, I know it sounds like a lot but its gooood! You can use vanilla extract or paste, I use half extract and half paste

ADD THE EXTRA EGG YOLK  it seems pointless but more fat=more delicious

dont bake ur cookies for more than 8 minutes!! they will seem too soft but they will cook slightly more as they sit on the pan

some people think you need a separate bowl for mixing your dry ingredients but that's completely untrue lol everything will get combined when you add it to the wet ingredients DO NOT FRET!

make sure you let them chill for at least 25 mins before you bake them, the brown butter flavor soaks in better that way and it makes the texture better

NOWWWWWWWWW HERES HOW TO MAKE EM :O

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, Silpat or grease with butter or a neutral oil.

2.  Put only 3/4 cups (170g) of the butter into a sauce pan on medium heat, once it's melted turn up the heat slightly and stir until golden brown, be careful not to burn it LOL. Once its brown take off the heat, pour into a large mixing bowl and add the other 2 tablespoons(28g) of butter. Let cool for about 5 mins.

3.  Add both types of sugar too the bowl and stir until combined.

4.  Add the egg + egg yolk to the bowl, then add your vanilla, baking soda, salt and nutmeg (if ur using it), and stir until combined:)

5.  Add the flour and stir until just combined and you can't see anymore flour, over mixing will over activate the gluten which will cause the cookies to be too chewy.

6. ADD UR CHOCOLATE CHIPS/WHATEVER YOU'RE USING!!

7. Now scoop your dough onto your lined baking sheet. If you're using a table spoon roll them into slightly smooshed balls with your hands, they should be abt 2 inches in diameter for regular sized cookies or 1 inch for mini :P. Place them about 2 inches away from each other if they are regular, 1 inch if mini. Sprinkle with salt and use the flaky kind if you wanna be fancy LOL

8. Preheat your oven to 350°F or 177°C

9. Put your cookie dough balls in the fridge and chill for ATLEAST 25 mins! ur almost done making the best cookies ever >-< 

10. GET UR COOKIES FROM THE FRIDGE. Set an 8 min timer and put them in the oven :3 if your oven bakes unevenly like mine check them halfway through your timer and turn them if needed:') 

11. Once you take them out let them cool for 5 mins before u try to pick em up

12. YAYYY U MADE COOKIES ENJOY
