Chocolate Chip Cookies without Brown Sugar
These chewy chocolate chip cookies without brown sugar are just the best. Soft and chewy, full of chocolate chips.
Ingredients
- 170 g butter salted or unsalted
- 200 g granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 tsp vanilla paste or extract
- 220 g all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 170 g semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Flaky salt to serve
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line cookie dough sheets with parchment paper
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, then let it cook for around 3-4 minutes, stirring fairly regularly until the milk solids have caramelized and the butter smells nutty. Pour it into a bowl and cool down for around 15 minutes. 170 g butter
- To the butter, add the granulated sugar, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla and beat it until well combined. 200 g granulated sugar, 1 large egg, 1 large egg yolk,2 tsp vanilla paste
- Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Stir it into the cookie dough mixture, then add the chocolate chips. 220 g all-purpose flour, ½ tsp baking powder, ½ tsp baking soda, ½ tsp salt
- If the cookie dough is still very warm due to the butter, let it cool a bit more before adding the chocolate chips so they don't melt into the dough. 170 g semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Let the dough sit at room temperature for 5 minutes. Roll the cookie dough into balls, using around two tablespoons of dough for each. Space them out generously on parchment paper-lined cookie sheets. The cookies will spread in the oven, so give them space to do so.
- Bake them one tray at a time for 9-10 minutes until they have puffed and the edges have just cooked. The cookies will seem very soft, but they'll continue cooking on the hot oven tray once out of the oven, and firm up as they cool down. For best results, don't over-bake them.
- While the cookies are hot, sprinkle them with flaky salt. Flaky salt to serve
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
