Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

Whole wheat flour adds more fiber and nutrients.

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is a healthier fat option, while margarine can be more budget-friendly.

chocolate chips

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate chips

💰Cheaper: chocolate chunks

Dark chocolate has less sugar and more antioxidants, while chocolate chunks can be less expensive.

Cut the butter into small pieces.

Heat the butter just enough that it starts to melt but not to the point of boiling.

Check that there are still bits of unmelted butter to ensure it's not too hot.

Add the white sugar, brown sugar, and egg to the melted butter and mix until well combined.

Add the flour, baking soda, and salt to the mixture and combine.

Form the cookie dough into balls, leaving enough space between each cookie on the baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Roll the cookies between your hands and add more chocolate chips if desired.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit) for about 10 to 12 minutes.

Let the cookies sit on the tray for about three minutes after removing them from the oven.
