Chocolate Chip Cookies

Once in a while you may wish to give your little one some sweet treats. It will definitely be great if your can make your own sweet treats for your little one. This is because, you will know how much sugar to add and also the ingredients you use is definitely fresher than the ready made cookies in the supermarket. So I would like to share this chocolate chip cookies that I made for my kids. They loves it so much. It is especially delicious when it is freshly baked and eaten with a cup of milk.

The sugar I used is raw or brown sugar. I lessen the amount of sugar for the recipe because the sweetness can be compensate by the chocolate chips. The vanilla extract is the pure one not the imitation ones. Below is the recipe.

Ingredients
113 grams unsalted butter, room temperature
120 grams of brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
150 grams all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
135 grams semisweet chocolate chips

Methods
(1) Preheat oven to 190 degrees C with rack in center of oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
(2) In the bowl of your electric mixer (or with a hand mixer), cream the butter. Add sugar and beat until fluffy (about 2 minutes). Beat in egg, making sure to beat well. Add the vanilla and beat until incorporated.
(3) In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture and beat until incorporated, adding the chocolate chips about half way through mixing. If you find the dough very soft, cover and refrigerate until firm (about 30 minutes).
(4) Bake about 12 - 14 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges. Cool completely on wire rack.
