Instructions
Step 1: Mix Sugars & Butter 🧈🍯
Put ½ cup brown sugar, ½ cup white sugar, and ½ cup melted butter in a big bowl.
Use a spoon and mix everything really well.
Keep mixing until the sugar is blended and smooth.
It should look creamy and smell sweet.
Step 2: Add the Egg 🥚
Crack 1 egg into the same bowl.
Make sure the egg is at room temperature (not cold).
Mix everything together really well for about 3–4 minutes.
It should turn light, fluffy, and creamy.
Step 3: Add the Dry Stuff 🌾
Now add 1½ cups flour, ½ tsp baking powder, and ¼ tsp salt.
Mix slowly so the flour doesn’t fly out of the bowl.
Keep stirring until it forms a soft dough.
It should look like cookie dough now!
Step 4: Add the Chocolate Chips 🍫
Pour in ½ cup chocolate chips.
Mix gently so the chips spread out in the dough.
Try not to squish them too much.
Now your dough is chocolatey and ready!
Step 5: Make Cookie Balls ⚪
Take small bits of dough and roll into little balls (like a walnut).
Place them on a tray lined with baking paper.
Leave space between each ball—they will spread.
Try to make them all the same size.
Step 6: Chill the Dough ❄️
Put the tray in the fridge for 15 minutes.
This helps the cookies stay thick and not too flat.
It also makes the edges crispy and the center soft.
Set a timer so you don’t forget!
Step 7: Time to Bake! 🔥
Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F).
Put the cookie tray in the oven and bake for 15–18 minutes.
They’re done when the edges are golden brown.
Don’t worry if the middle looks a little soft—it will set as it cools!
Step 8: Let Them Cool & Enjoy 🌬️🍽️
Take the tray out and wait 5 minutes.
Then move the cookies to a cooling rack or plate.
Let them cool completely before eating.
Now grab one (or three) and enjoy your homemade cookies! 😋
