Method
- Cream Together Butter, Sugar, and Salt: In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and salt. Using a whisk or electric mixer, cream the mixture until it’s smooth and fluffy. This helps create that perfect cookie texture.
- Add the Egg and Vanilla: Beat the egg in a separate bowl and then gradually add it to the butter mixture. Mix well, then add the vanilla extract for an extra boost of flavor.
- Incorporate the Dry Ingredients: Slowly add the all-purpose flour and baking powder to the wet ingredients. Mix until the dough comes together. You want it to be soft but not too sticky.
- Add the Chocolate Chips and Hazelnuts: Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped hazelnuts. These ingredients will melt slightly during baking, creating pockets of gooey chocolate throughout.
- Chill the Dough: For the best texture, refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour. Chilling helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much as they bake, keeping them thick and chewy.
- Shape the Dough into Balls: After chilling, remove the dough from the fridge and divide it into equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then gently flatten it to form cookie rounds. This ensures they bake evenly.
- Bake the Cookies: Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Place the dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them out evenly. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown but the centers remain soft.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your homemade Taylor Chip Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies!
Notes
- Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking, ensuring a thick, chewy texture.
- Room Temperature Butter: Make sure the butter is at room temperature before you mix it. This helps create a smoother dough and evenly distributed ingredients.
- Don’t Overbake: Keep a close eye on your cookies while they bake. They’re done when the edges are golden brown but the center is still soft.
- Add More Chocolate Chips: If you're a chocolate lover, feel free to add extra chocolate chips to the dough for an even more indulgent treat.
