Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, add butter, then add both brown sugar and caster sugar.
Stir the mixture using a whisk, spoon, or spatula until well combined and slightly creamy.
Add a splash of vanilla essence and mix it in.
Sift in flour and baking soda. If you're using unsalted butter, also add ½ teaspoon of salt at this stage.
Mix everything until just combined—do not overmix.
Fold in chocolate chips or white chocolate chips, as desired.
Using an ice cream scoop or spoon, scoop portions of the dough onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper, spacing them evenly.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
For softer cookies, slightly underbake them.
Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor.
Can I use a different type of sugar?
Yes, you can adjust the ratio of white and brown sugar to your preference. Using more brown sugar will result in chewier cookies.
Can I freeze the cookie dough?
Absolutely! Scoop the dough into balls and freeze them on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
Can I add nuts to the cookies?
Yes, feel free to add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra flavor and texture.
What if I don't have vanilla essence?
You can substitute it with another extract, like almond extract, or simply omit it. The cookies will still be delicious!
How do I store the baked cookies?
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
