Ingredients you need per step are listed below the step in Italic
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 °F or 320 °F
Line a baking sheet with baking paper.
Melt the butter in a saucepan and let it stand for 15 minutes to cool slightly.
⅓ cup butter
Pour into a bowl and add the two sugars and the vanilla.
6 tablespoons light brown sugar, ½ cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
Mix with a mixer for 2 minutes.
Add the egg and mix on low until it is incorporated.
1 egg
Place a sieve on the bowl and sieve the flour on the batter.
½ and ⅓ cup self-rising flour
Then add the salt.
½ teaspoon coarse sea salt
Mix with a spatula until well mixed.
Now sprinkle the chocolate chips on the batter and mix them with the spatula.
¾ cup chocolate chips
Make a roll of the dough, wrap it in plastic wrap, and let it chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Cut a slice from the roll and place on a baking tray. Or take a slice of the batter, roll it into a ball between your hands, and put it on the baking tray. Press a little at the top. The last variant produces slightly thicker cookies.
Repeat for the rest of the dough. Make sure you keep enough space between the cookies, or they will blend into each other.
Bake in the oven for 11 minutes.
Leave on the baking sheet for 10 minutes and then place them on a rack.
Allow to cool further
NOTES
1. Replacements:
Self-rising flour: This is flour mixed with baking powder. You can also replace this by mixing ½ cup + ⅓ cup (95 grams) of all-purpose flour and ⅓ teaspoon of baking powder.
Light brown sugar: You can also use dark brown caster sugar for a deeper caramel flavor.
Vanilla sugar: You can replace this with a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Butter: I always use butter in my baking for the best taste, but you can also replace it with margarine.
2. Variations
Chocoholics: Add two tablespoons of cocoa powder to the batter.
Nutty: Finely chop two tablespoons of pecans, almonds, or walnuts and mix them into the dough, along with the chocolate chips.
Fruity: Finely chop two tablespoons of raisins or cranberries and mix them into the dough for a sweet fruity taste.
Caramel: Finely chop one oz. of fudge and mix it through the dough. This gives a delicious caramel surprise in your cookies.
3. Oven: When you use a conventional oven, set the temperature to 350 °F (ca. 177 °C). In a convection oven, 320 °F (160 °C) is sufficient.4. Storage
Dough: Store the dough roll in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, or freeze the roll. When you have frozen the dough, let it thaw in the fridge before you bake it.
Cookies: Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the cookies. This way, they stay good in a freezer box or bag for up to 2 months. Let thaw at room temperature.
