Welcome to Choco Bliss Cookies, your new go-to for a sweet treat that’s hard to resist. These cookies are a delightful mix of chewy and crispy, packed with melty chocolate chips in every bite. Perfect for satisfying your chocolate cravings!
Butter: Provides a rich flavor and helps create a tender texture by incorporating air into the dough when creamed with sugar.
Granulated sugar: Adds sweetness and helps with the cookie's crisp edges.
Brown sugar: Adds moisture and a hint of caramel flavor, contributing to the chewiness.
Eggs: Bind the ingredients together and add moisture, contributing to the cookie's structure.
Vanilla extract: Enhances the overall flavor, giving the cookies a sweet, aromatic hint.
All-purpose flour: Forms the base of the dough, providing structure.
Baking soda and baking powder: Ensure the cookies rise properly, giving them a light texture.
Salt: Balances the sweetness and enhances the flavors.
Semi-sweet chocolate chips: The star of the show – they melt into pockets of deliciousness throughout the cookie.
These cookies are delightful on their own, but you can pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert. They're also perfect crumbled over a bowl of your favorite yogurt for a tasty breakfast treat.
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the oven is ready by the time you finish preparing the dough. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy. You can use a hand mixer or stand mixer for this step.
Next, add in the eggs, one at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition. This helps to fully incorporate the eggs into the mixture. Stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the aroma and flavor of your cookie dough.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to your wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cookies tough.
Fold in the chocolate chips gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough. Use a large spoon or cookie scoop to drop spoonfuls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets. Leave enough space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
Bake in your preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown. Keep an eye on them as baking times can vary. Once done, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
