In the Kitchen | Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe, easy and yummy!

43 Comments

In the Kitchen will be the category where I will post some of the recipes I cook for my family. I promise you these are super-duper easy recipes because I’m really not an expert in the kitchen plus the fact that I don’t want recipes with so many steps/how-tos. Just 4-6 instructions, anything more than that, I skip the page of my recipe book and look for simpler recipes. So newbies in the kitchen, I hope you’ll try my recipes or suggestions and let’s share kitchen secrets!

Look what this long weekend made me, finally tried baking Chocolate Chip cookies from scratch! It’s a first, before, I use those boxed mixes available for brownies. Now, I finally tested an easy and yummy Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe I can call my own.

My first time to bake these is last Saturday, I used 3/4 cup of light brown sugar and it came out too sweet according to my critics. But I have a sweet tooth and the sweetness is like Keebler chocolate chip cookies, so if you like the sweetness of Keebler’s, go ahead and use 3/4 cup of light brown sugar. The first batch of cookies came out big and thick, it’s about more than 1 tablespoon. If you like you’re cookies soft and chewy, you can make large scoops like what I did.

My critics requested for the chocolate chip cookies to be smaller, spread thinly, with a crunch, and less sweeter. Ooowkay, so I baked these again on a Sunday. I have no idea what to adjust to make it crunchy, all I know is I have to lessen the sugar, so I used half a cup. And that’s the end to my search for my own Easy Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe.

Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe

Ingredients:

1 stick butter, room temperature – I used Dari Creme
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 and 1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips – I used Hershey’s brand because that’s what I found in the supermarket

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F or 180 C.
  2. Combine the butter and sugar in a bowl, mix well. I don’t have a mixer so I just used a wooden spoon to mix everything.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla. Mix them well.
  4. Add the flour, baking soda, salt, and chocolate chips. Mix them until all of them are incorporated and you formed a yummy gooey dough.
  5. Grease your baking pan with butter.
  6. Scoop a teaspoon of the cookie dough onto the pan. Allow space between each dough for the cookies to expand.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes. Just check on it, if the edges are brown, then it’s done.

Most choco chip recipes online will advise you to allow the cookies to cool before serving. But who am I kidding? Sinking my teeth into a freshly baked cookie with soft chunks of chocolates is simply exhilarating! Buttery, chewy, and gooey all at the same time!

What’s your ultimate chocolate chip cookie recipe? I might try yours next time 🙂

  1. This really looks good and it is just 5:29 in the morning! Hahaha..I am no baker, but this is something I would like to make. My son would love this! Where do you buy the choco chips, semi sweet , the supermarket has this? I will try!

  4. We had the exact ingredients when I cooked my first chocolate chip cookies haha. What we didn’t like is the baking soda. Now, I’m always using baking powder. I wonder about the difference. I think baking soda’s taste is more intense than the powder.

  5. Wow. I have a very sweet tooth and I already love these cookies just looking at the pictures. I wish our kitchen has space for an oven so I can try your recipe too. Maybe you have a microwave version of this?

  6. Mmm… Looks so easy and yummy! My daughter has been expressing her desire to bake chocolate chip cookies. I guess I found an easy recipe here!

  7. Hi Badet, nice meeting you last time at Greenpeace. Wow, I love chocolate chip cookies, anything sweet. I’ll follow your recipe when I have time to hit the kitchen. Puwede mo na pang business or pang gift sa Christmas. hehe 🙂

  8. I realized how alike we are! I too look for the simplest of recipes or I’m looking for another on google. I hope see more baking adventures from you. 🙂

  9. Oh my gosh, that looks so yummy! If I shamelessly copy your recipe, though, I would have to reduce the sugar for the older folks hehe

  12. I wish I can write a post about my first baking experience in the blog soon. But first I have to purchase an oven! 🙂 The last time I baked was during my high school days. Just recently, I found the recipes I wrote on those classic index cards! Those were the days. Now, I just have to bookmark all the recipes I like from helpful mommy bloggers who share their kitchen secrets. Thanks Misis B!

  13. Wow, it seems so easy to do. Sad we don’t have oven yet. We love chocolate chips pa naman. I should have invest for an Oven…wink..wink….

  14. I am a frustrated pastry chef talaga Mommy B eh!! Wala akong oven eh. Pwede ba oven toaster dito?? Let me know I want to try this too.. Good start for ambisyosang pastry chef wanna-be.heheheh =)

  15. I am an absolute fan of chocolate chip cookies! As in I try to get as often as I can! haha… But I haven’t tried baking them. Maybe one day… I’ll try your recipe when I do! 🙂

  16. me to, I skip a lot of recipes if they’re too complicated! I skip much more than you I guess because we don’t have an oven, which is such a shame because a lot of yummy recipes need baking! should really start saving up. any recommendations on buying an oven? 🙂

  17. I’ve joined 3 baking workshops in the past but my favorite one and my “eaters'”favorite one was the one I learned from CCA. 🙂 I love serving and eating them fresh from the oven.

    I think to make them crunchier is just a matter of how long they stay in the oven and how much you’ve heated it before you put the cookie balls in. 🙂

  18. Looks so yummy! 🙂 Kaya lang natatakot akong magstart magbake kasi I might end up eating all that I baked since I have such a sweet tooth! haha

  19. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I like it because the ingredients are easy to find. I hate most of the baking recipe books because, usually, they have ingredients that are hard to find or I’m really not familiar with.

  21. Badet, nakakatakam naman yan! Fave ko din ang Keebler so mukhang panalo sa akin yang recipe mo 🙂 By the way, parang wala na akong nakikitang Soft Batch sa grocery. How about you?

  25. Ooooh! Me and my son both loves chocolate chip cookies. I don’t know how to make them. Thanks to this info i can make them with my son 🙂

  28. I wish I have an oven so I can bake na! 🙁 My family loves cookies pa naman.. I bookmarked this, so pag may oven na ako, I can just go back and follow the recipe! Thank you!

  29. I love chocolate chip cookies but I don’t cook. I would bake though so I could have all the sweets I wanted. Will definitely try this! Thanks for sharing and being specific with the ingredients. 🙂
