Servings : Makes 3 dozen
You can’t go wrong with chocolate chip cookies, they are a favourite to all and any time is the perfect time for a choc-chip cookie and a cup of tea/coffee or a glass of milk. These perfect beauties are chewy and chocolatey, yet crispy too!! I added crushed hazelnuts to my cookie batter for extra crunch and flavour.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (180gm)
- 1/3 cup white sugar (75gm)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (100gm)
- 1/2 cup butter (123gm)
- 2 tsp. vanilla essence
- 1 egg, slightly beaten
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup crushed nuts (I used toasted hazelnuts)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 180C and line your cookie baking sheets with baking paper. In a bowl, sift the flour with salt and baking soda to combine.
Cream sugar with butter, add the egg and vanilla and beat for a few minutes.
Add the flour/salt/baking soda and stir them into the creamed mixture.
Stir in the nuts and chocolate chips until well combined.
Cover the cookie dough and refrigerate for about half an hour for best results.
Make small balls or use a small scoop or spoon to shape them, press them slightly on the cookie sheet, not too much, they will spread slightly as they bake. Leave enough space around the cookies to allow for spreading.
Refrigerating the cookies on the tray before baking will help prevent them from spreading too much during baking.
Bake for about 13-15 minutes or until golden. Let them sit on the tray for about 5 minutes before transferring to a rack to cool completely.
Once completely cool, store in an airtight container.
Enjoy!! 🙂

assalamoalaikum …i wantd to knw if it is must to bake dese in cookies sheet..or v can jz buttr our plate n bake it..?? n can v omit brown sugar n use plain white sugar instead..??
W/Salaam, am not sure what
W/Salaam, am not sure what you mean by plate, which plate do you plan on using? And yes you can use white sugar in place of brown.
Hi. I tried this reciepe
Hi. I tried this reciepe twice……cookies do taste good but dont look like ones u have shown in picture……i just noticed that u mentioned 1 and 1/2 cup flour that should be 330 g but instead u have mentioned 180 gms in front of it……is it by mistake or i m doing the math wrong?
Hi, you are doing the math
Hi, you are doing the math wrong. A cup of flour is 120 gm, so the measurement I have given is completely accurate.
A standard cup measures 220 g

No actually. What we weigh is
No actually. What we weigh is the INGREDIENT inside the cup. Different ingredients weigh differently. Some heavy some light. You cannot just assume that a cup of stones and a cup of air will weigh the same. Similarly a cup of sugar will be heavier than a cup of flour. It all depends on the specific ingredient. Please research this online.

salaams…i want to know…if i should cream butter and sugar…until the sugar melts and form a creamy texture?in that case can i grind both sugar and add?
and if i want to make double choco chip….can i replace a one-two tablespoon of flour with cocoa powder as per taste?
W/Salaam, the sugar used in
W/Salaam, the sugar used in this case is icing sugar. Which is already a powdered sugar with some additives in it. Not regular sugar that is just grinded. And yes you you can replace a couple tbsp of flour with cocoa for double choc-chip.

Hi Fauzia, although the
Hi Fauzia, although the cookies were very tasty but they turned out a bit chewy. Can you tell what could be my mistake ?
Hi, did you underbake them?
Hi, did you underbake them? Or maybe the mixture was overmixed after adding the flour?
Hello,it isi the first time I
Hello,it isi the first time I am going to try cookies and this recipe of yours seems quite easy! I only wanted to know whether I can use margarine instead of butter? Thank you and keep up the great work!
Hello! Yes you can use
Hello! Yes you can use margarine although butter does tend to give better flavour. 🙂
Hi Fauzia hope you are ok!
Hi Fauzia hope you are ok!
Not an experienced baker and when I made the cookies the mixture was really sticky! The result was nice though, but I wondered if there was a way to make them less sticky so the shape of the cookies could be more homogenous?
Also, I have a gas oven and when I put them on the tray on the middle shelf, they were darker at the bottom and not so dark at the top, any tips on how to prevent this?
Hi! Sometimes refrigerating
Hi! Sometimes refrigerating the cookie dough (wrapped well in cling film) for a short while (an hour or so) helps ‘solidify’ the butter content thereby making the dough easier to work with. You could try doing that. 🙂 As for the baking in a gas oven, I personally have only ever worked with electric ovens so am not really sure how the heating works for gas ones. Is there more heat from the bottom than the top?
No I didn’t underbake them
No I didn’t underbake them nor it was over mixed. Or if that may be the problem I’ll make them again and will inform you how it came out this time

W/Salaam, thanks for the
W/Salaam, thanks for the lovely feedback. I’ve actually never tried with whole wheat flour, maybe mix whole wheat flour with plain all purpose flour so the consistency is not too dense.

Aoa. they turned out really osum as usual 😀 everyone loved them.. perfect texture and taste Ma shaa Allah.
just a little ques though. whenever Baking soda is used in recipes. i don’t like the smell of it. is it just me? because no one else seems to notice it, but its there.
Thanks for the great feedback
Thanks for the great feedback! About the baking soda, if you can smell it or taste it then you need to replace your baking soda with a new pack or try a different brand, it should not leave any smell or taste unless used in large amounts in a recipe. 🙂
Whenever I make cookies they
Whenever I make cookies they get a bit hard with time, they get back to normal (soft) when kept in microwave for 20 secs. But why are my cookies getting hard when i keep them out? what am i doing wrong? 🙁 .. I served them in a plate but i covered it with cling thinking that maybe it will keep them from getting hard but didnt work..
Are you overbaking them by
Are you overbaking them by any chance?

You could use regular sugar
You could use regular sugar if you do not have brown sugar. Otherwise brown sugar should be easily available at most major supermarkets. 🙂
