Soft and Chewy 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.

Cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the milk (or egg) and vanilla extract. Mix well.

In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix just until combined — don’t overmix.

Gently fold in the chocolate chips.

Chill the dough for 30 minutes for thicker cookies (optional but recommended).

Preheat oven to 170°C (340°F).

Scoop or roll dough into balls and place on a lined baking tray. Leave space between each.

Bake for 12–14 minutes, until edges are golden but centers are soft.

Let cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then move to a wire rack.
