I’ve always been a thin, crispy, chewy cookie lover—but recently I’ve come around to a thick and fluffy bakery-style cookie. We bake these from cold on a high temperature to begin with so that they don’t spread out, and then reduce the heat to make sure the inside is not undercooked. Enjoy these with a cold glass of milk for the best combination possible.

recipe:

  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) sugar
  • vanilla paste/essence
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cup (300g) all-purpose flour
  • chocolate chips (don’t used chopped chocolate for these, the cookies will have better structure with consistent sized chocolate chips)
  • walnuts, chopped

method:

  1. cream butter, brown sugar, and sugar together until light and fluffy, then add eggs and vanilla. continue mixing until smooth and consistent.
  2. sift flour, baking soda, and baking powder in, add salt then gently fold until combined.
  3. gently fold in chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.
  4. scoop dough into six equal portions onto baking sheet, then chill for several hours until cold.
  5. preheat oven to 200 degrees celcius, then bake for 10 minutes, turn heat down to 180 degrees celcius and bake for another 10 minutes. (note: baking time may vary and by preference, if you want them to be more done bake for longer, if you want them slightly underdone bake for less time.)
  6. enjoy warm, they’re best freshly baked!
